That’s why i thought I’d try a stand one, my 2 lever isn’t magnetised and slips on the bottle a bit.

I’ve just ordered one of these seems too cheap but worth a punt i guess.

Thanks Ric, re- option A I didn’t know how to go about it so it I didn’t think about it carbing up in the bucket then not being able to in the bottle. Looks like it may be option B is the best way, thanks.

I have a beer currently sitting in secondary in my brew fridge for the last 2 weeks at 1°-2° and it will be there for around 6 weeks, i havent primed it yet due to an administrative **** up, i intend to bottle it after the 6 weeks but I’m unsure of how to prime it, I’ve screwed up part of the...

I too have decided to go all in one and this is the one I’ve decided on, I’ve just got to pluck up the courage to push the button. The 45l one with all the extras seems good value to me I think it works out around £415 delivered. 45L Hopcat MK3 Mini MEGA | hopcat

Just a quick question about the light. Is it natural light, sunlight, to keep away from or is it household lighting too. I brew in my cellar so very little natural light gets in but i have some bright led lighting down there should i be wary of storing in this type of lighting too.

Great, thanks roger. It looks like the front runner up to now.

Looking at the hopcat in the write up for the hopcat mk3 45l it says it has a flexible return pipe and site glass as improvements. Does this mean the site glass is for liquid levels or is it on the recirculation pipe, I can’t quite make it out if it’s for the level of liquid in the kettle or...

Good to know, thanks scotty.

I’m thinking of taking the plunge and investing in an all in one system, I’m looking at a brewster beacon or maybe a hopcat mk3 at the moment, does anybody have any suggestions on these two. The hopcat is on offer at the moment at £399 which is £50 more than the brewster but it is 45l compared...

23l lager from left over extract. Does it still count if it ends up as drain cleaner. 23l red rioja wine TOTAL-6791

Does anybody add extra grape juice to their kits, if so which type.

Thanks Anna, good to know

Yes I’m thinking of that too, i was just wondering for the sake of possible dodgy or damaged caps it might be a decent alternative at around 15p a cap.

I’m looking at doing a wine kit and may use these caps. This is the cheapest i have found up to now. Anyone have any experience with these.

Has anybody tried these wine kits, I’m looking at the shiraz kit for £43.20 for a 5 gallon kit from the home brew shop. Does anybody have any other recommendations for wine kits. Shiraz/malbec type around the £40-£60 mark. Thanks.

Brilliant, thanks Ian thats just what i wanted to know. Thanks for your help.

I used mangrove jacks craft series lme.

I only had 500g of dme left over from bits I’ve bought to pimp the last couple of kits. I haven’t done a boil up no, I know i really should but i need a bigger pot i only have a small 5l stock pot at the moment. So today I’ve mixed 2.4kg of LME, 500g DME and 500g brewing sugar in 4 litres of...
