Does anyone know a supplier in this area? I was getting it from a local hydro shop for £17 a refill but they’ve been struggling to get it reliably lately and understandably I’m at the back of the queue as I don’t really make them any money as that’s all I buy from there and keep the bottle for 6...

The controller won’t work doing that.

I’ve buggered the cable coming out of the controller. It still works but it’s knackered. I’d rather not have to buy a new controller just for the thermometer. Is it replaceable? I’m handy with a soldering iron. I know I can’t buy a direct replacement but thermometers aren’t all totally different...

I’ve got the pellet Ooni and my mate bought that new gas one. It’s miles more useful and far bigger. I’d get the gas one all day long. It uses barely any gas for a few pizzas. The pellet one works fine but it takes a fair bit of looking after to run it for a while. Constantly filling it up and...

It was mostly user error I suspect. I’m sure they do what they say when you get the hang of how to use them.

well, defo don’t keg hop with them! They just sank to the bottom and ruined the beer for at least the first third. I haven’t bothered since those 2 brews. They are just a PITA to dissolve and get into the beer. They taste good tho when you manage it.

You boil the water first to get rid of the o2.

I've recently used them. I've not kegged the beer yet so can't really say much about the flavour. But I will say that they are a pain in the arse to get into the beer! Suggesting they are soluble in cold beer is rediculous. I had to mix them with warm water and even then they didn't easily...

Cascade and Chinook gone bonkers. Love the look of hop vines, very pretty.

Aye, it's hops on the right too. They grow up a 12ft metal pole and then from that across string to the top of a big elder. It's my allotment and it's pretty much the only shade on the plot. In all honesty i I get way too many for brewing. I dry them and decorate my shed on the left which has a...

Got a few cones on my cascade and Chinook. I grow them for shade cover mainly tho!

Afternoon, I've not fined a beer in some time, well cold side at least. I'm not vegan personally but I have some guests imminent that are. And having just acquired a beer engine I promised to l them some cask ale as they very rarely get the chance to drink it. I've knocked up a American pale...

On the HSA then if the main problem is premature staling then that defo isnt gonna be an issue with my really hoppy ones. The kegs are drank in 2-3 weeks tops. I have brewed with incognito and found it a little unusual and a real pain to clean off my GF. I did a beer with just flex for...

Aye I treat my water based on the grainfather app water calculatoe. I had it tested about a year back but quite how accurate that report is now is anyone's guess. To clarify when I say bright I mean the taste of the hops . Not the appearence (sorry I know bright means bright). They are mostly...

I've been brewing for a quite a while, maybe 200 all grain brews. Tend to stick to hop forward beers, saisons and occasional foreys into some German styles. And the odd stout as my missus likes them. One thing that I constantly notice when drinking hop forward beers from the top breweries is...

Putting aside the oxidation aspect which is unavoidable if you're bottling from a bottling bucket, the most important thing to getting a neipa right is your water. The chloride / sulphate ratio needs adjusting. Also the correct yeast. The double dry hop, first one at high Krausen is supposedly...

Aye well given a) it costs the same as liquid yeast given the pitch rate and b) tastes nothing like a kolsch think I'll be giving it a miss in future. I'm slightly perplexed by it tho. 95% weyermans pilsner is a malt bill I use frequently. Saisons, pilsners, kolsch and I can't recall a single...

Sure, why wouldn't there be? The kit just makes the wort. So femermenting it correctly and lagering it is still important if you want it to taste clean like a proper lager.

Anyone used this? I posted a while back about realising I only had a single packet half way through brew day so had to under pitch it. It fermented out to about 1.011. Lagered it and it's dropped crystal clear but the beer has absolutely no flavour. It's pretty poor. Honestly tastes what I...

If you use it that much then get the Weber if you OK with the cosr. Their stuff is deserved of its rep*. I don't have any of their gas bbqs but my smoker and kettle are still as good as the day I bought them over 10 years ago. If was gonna get a gas grill then I'd be getting another Weber almost...
