    Hello and help please!

    when transfering into the bottling bucket, use a hose with a draintap, and as with a siphon tube lay the end in the bottling bucket base, that way residual co2 still dissolved in the beer from fermentation can get agitated out of suspension by the transfer and can form a protective co2 blanket...

    Paramedic abused by driver in Leicester

    I had a similar experience with a white van driver as my Mam was being wheeled down her garden path into an ambulance after I discovered her after a fall, the 'gentleman' involved however found reverse gear rather too quickly as he saw me walking toward him to discuss his behaviour.

    pouring your beer

    trychilling the beer down and use a polished clean glass pre chilled in the freezer, and gently decant into the glass at a low angle increasing the tilt as the glass fills. If that has any positive impact it probably was a case of over-conditioning, with screwcaps its easier to vent off some...

    Help! Plasticy smell and taste.

    try a campden tab treatment to your brewing liquor to counter any chlorine etc in the water, and try switching to cheap generic unscented laundry oxi to clean, and use a cheap no rinse sanitiser (5star starsan @ circa £15+ a bottle is cheap as thats a supply to last a good few years..)

    Back to homebrew / Directors kit question?

    Hi, I think you may be confusing 2 separate optional practices, 1) Using a bright or 2ndary FV to aid clearing the beer with or without finnings by racking off most off the sediment near to or at the end of primary, and letting that stand for a further clearing. and 2) Batch Priming in a...

    The Hard Shoulder.

    isnt it in the highway code that If you break down and need to use the hard shoulder, Exit the vehicle and sit up the bank behind any possible impact. Its foolish to expect no other drivers attention to wander and drift slightly out of lane as they approach you.

    Mashtun drainage/filter vs efficiency

    when calculated my 3v bhe has been high 70's low 80's using a simple batch sparge, granted by habit i always throw in an extra handful of un-weighed grain into the tun as a rule of thumb counter for the mythical loss of efficiency due to the batch sparge.. When it comes to sparging i simply...

    No worries Bri, the pics n links you include complete the picture.. All looking good, that looks like a complete enough list.. BUT.. that tap tower?? 120 cm of 10mm tube?? those US/EU style 'perlick?' taps are generally terminated at the beerline end with a hosebarb? Might be worth...
