Ive certainly noticed the difference using one, as I bought new I fed my inkbird temprature probe and gas line (from the co2 canasiter) through the fridges door seals, as I didnt want to start carving into the fridge. I also have two perlick 650S so I didnt see the point in putting a whole into...

Has anyone got the V2 Tilt? seen that it came out a couple months ago. Improved sensors/Reading & battery life. Didnt like the sound of some of the flaky comments regarding when the Tilt got krausen on it or hops. If the V2 Tilt is better? than I may get one, I'd probably still do manual...

Thanks, I was going to get it from malt miller but even the 5% makes homebrew company the place to go. I too was thinking of doing a Belgium type beer especially in the current climate. What carrier did they send it by?

I have had the internal angel/devil on my shoulder all week about getting one. Looking into brewing and reading/watching some hints and tips it seems if i remember then my first brew could be good on it too. Have 1 week until my galactic panda (galaxy black IPA) is out the fermenter. Which...

SO...Ive come to tally up the cost + accessories and its either Homebrew company (that offers free sterilizer and mash kit) and malt miller that the base price is cheaper but doesn't offer the 5% discount and the free kit. I wondered if anyone's used Homebrew company? how is their delivery...

I never have had a problem with The Malt Miller so far, the postage has been the same for recipes gone via the generator (£6) and is next day which you can track. I've even just caculated the postage on their website for ordering a grainfather + other bits relating to a GF and its still coming...

I brew a IMO a nice saison, loosely based on Firestone Walker's Opal as I was going for a saison with white wine like qualities, which mine does. Brewed in for 2 weddings, one a friend the other not and I got alot of positive comments. like when I was packing my kegs (empty) up the next morning...

Thanks beercat, I'll look into getting them to sort the tap out. Regarding the hop spider, the last brew I did had 137g pellets before dry hopping, if I got the airation tool would that alone be good enough. I'll have to get something for when I do my sweet Stout (as it has coaco nibs and...

Hi would it be something like this setup for the tap/ New Washers. I really would ideally like and have wanted a GF/BM ever since ive taken to the hobby more seriously, however I am my fathers son and don't feel comfortable with myself spending that amount of money on something, you never know...

I too have one of those cool brewing bags and was fermenting a black ipa in it, only to find coming home yesterday the fermenter temp. hit 30c. Ive recently bought a larder fridge (as I was struggling to keep rotating enough frozen bottles) to house kegs, bottles and my fermenter. However I had...

If You don't mind me being a bit thick, which washer would you both at which side of the ball valve? I looked at mine this evening and I have a metal nut and silicone washer inside the unit and some silicone thing on the outside, I wouldn't really call it a washer.

thank you all for your early comments, If i got a hop spider i probably could position it under the re circulation pipe to help hop utilization, I used a large hop bag (before reusing the grain basket) that filled the ace but that was nightmare to clean, so not too worried about the cleaning of...

Saturday did another brew on my ace boiler/mash tun. Its the very basic model, bought a two years ago. It however tripped my house twice, I think I know why as it did this once when I lived in a flat. Basically I think it happened when I turned the power up on it prior to turning it on...

Hi all, After a successful brew using Imperial Yeast's Juice strain I tried my hand at using the barbarian strain for a black ipa. I chilled it down 19c and pitched the yeast yesterday and this morning its raised to 24. All the time I had a desk fan with the fermenter in my cool brewing bag and...

Not today but I did a new brew on saturday, an all galaxy black ipa. used Imperial Yeast Barbarian strain instead of US-05. I had to use leaf hops and my ace mash tun/boiler did not handle the FW Hops well, bunged up the tap. So I had to dump in into the fermenter from the boiler, quite hard to...

Picture below shows the colour but looking at my recipe ibus were 29.41 and srm (colour) was 38.49. Have been very tempted to Brew this one again next, however have had more of an erge to Brew my galactic panda black ipa.

I get up for work early during the week (around 5-5:30ish) so am usually stirring around 6 espec in the summer when the suns beams in around the curtain edge. I have done a few early brews starting the mash at 6/7 since I moved into a house with an internal garage, however when it comes to...

If you were to make a batch and keg it what psi would you want to set your regulator to? Looks good! Ive only ever tried a cider kit. If you were to make a batch and keg it what psi would you want to set your regulator to? Thinking of doing a batch ...also might be nice for the wife to have...

I've been going back and forth in my mind to get a fridge large enough to hold 2 kegs and or my SS brewtech brewmaster bucket. I then was thinking just getting the FTSS for the fermenter then changing my mind again. I currently just use either a large open coolbox or coolbrewing jacket rotating...

Just an update on the brewday and other notes. Slightly over target temp which was more like 70oC than 67oc. Overspared but preboil gravitiy was 10.40 instead of 10.35, did sparge as my boiler was heating, so seemed to take less time to hit boiling temps. SG was 1050 and FG was 1014 Kegged it...
