    Reasonable priced keg washer

    If you're only cleaning the one vessel at a time then you probably don't need a system like this, by the time it takes to get out and setup you would have probably finished cleaning by hand, inside and out. I got mine because I'm lazy, I have 4 different fermenters, one being a corny for...

    Reasonable priced keg washer

    It needs a tub to stand in and the water/cleaning solution recirculates. Might be hard to make out in the pic but the mouth of any corny kegs sit on the top and inside of the top piece as it's oval shaped. I use a CIP ball I already owned on top of the pipe instead of the supplied barb which...

    Reasonable priced keg washer

    I bought the "FastWasher Rack" from amazon a few weeks ago which works great for me, it's currently £50 on prime, though I had a spare rectangular storage tub to stand it in during use

    Pizza "brewer's yeast" for brewing?

    pizza comes out great 👌 cant say for beer as i'm waiting to do a proper brew day and i'll split the batch to make 5L with some hops that need using. I got my last pizza stuff from eurostarfoods but there could be cheaper places?

    Pizza "brewer's yeast" for brewing?

    How much it attenuates and what flavours it produces is why I'm doing a cheap smash that I can base the outcome on. From what I've found its an Italian beer strain but no more info than that. However I didn't just wildly buy it on the off chance I can brew for years with it. It came as a...

    My workplace switched suppliers...

    In an effort to tie up this story, we finally managed to get the old company to come out and collect the gear. Two guys came in with an empty sprinter, and proceeded to tip all the water into the drains and lobbed them into the back of the van. Was happy to see them go at first but watching the...

    Pizza "brewer's yeast" for brewing?

    I've tried searching but maybe I'm just not finding the right terms but I've found this yeast for pizzas, that claims it's brewer's yeast made "from only the best fresh beer yeast" Anyone found or used this stuff in beers before? I'm gonna attempt a simple SMaSH with it to trial but wondering...

    Hop plants/rhizomes - growing report

    Pretty chuffed to see cones that are almost ready on my 1 year old. And my 3 off-cuts are doing really well too. Waiting to get my hands on 4 obelisks cheaply to put in my barrel planters for next year

    Hop plants/rhizomes - growing report

    I find it a bit odd they say to literally just stick a cutting into dirt. I used "Maxicrop Take Root" root growth stimulant. Brown stuff, horrible to get on clothes but everything we've used with it has been growing nicely.

    Hop plants/rhizomes - growing report

    My prima Donna is technically only a year old but doing very well. No signs of flowering yet, but I don't expect it either. Whilst cutting back only the best 5 shoots I picked my best 2 off-cuts and used some rooting formula my partner got for her shrubs, and they also seem to be doing very...

    iSpindel - digital WiFi hydrometer

    Maybe try omitting the + and the initial zero. That's interesting to know though, I've been interested in making a brewpi to collect data but an email could also be useful.

    iSpindel - digital WiFi hydrometer

    Am I correct in assuming you're using the PCB with an XXL petling? The normal XLs are quite snug

    Hook head malt

    Sorry to rez the topic but what are everyone's thoughts on this malt? (I don't just mean is it good or where it was bought from) I've only ever used MO and when I ran out of that I purchased a sack of the hook head pale malt then I did something silly an made a smash with Hull Melon hops that...

    iSpindel - digital WiFi hydrometer

    I'd also recommend not skimping on the batteries, not to say fakes are dangerous, but the capacities are massively inflated. I have a "3600mah" Ultrafire which is actually around 800mah. It's been relegated to a torch by my electric meter. I would say - go for a genuine PROTECTED cell. the small...

    iSpindel - digital WiFi hydrometer

    Yeah I used to think 3.2v was very low but saw my protected cells cut at 2.4-2.6v I ended up finding a video by Big Clive who explained it a bit

    iSpindel - digital WiFi hydrometer

    yes I think it's supposed to cut out at 2.5v. I couldn't get my head around the voltage calibration at the time so I left my iSpindel reporting 5V+ and switched to using protected cells instead. Which PCB board are you using?
