Anyone suggest a Barnsley Bitter alike please ? Kit form

I need to watch the weather forecast in more detail as I set a Nelsons Revenge going a few days ago in my north facing Cave room but the Temp was 25 for quite a few days I have it down to 21 now with 5 days gone and the Airlock shows action about every 90 seconds - I am hoping it will keep...

Ha ha - still do. I have 2 different ones and they are hard to read I spin them in test jar to degas the beer and usually decide "yes 1.006 or yes 1.010" or whatever the target it Would love a definitive answer with an in situ hydrometer but cost prohibitive I guess - because it seems counter...

Recently bought a Wilco PB and stuck 40 pints of Cider in it - first thing I noticed ? Moulded handles are not big enough for me. I thought at the time what a good idea and when you are cleaning it initially and shaking it around great because there is not much weight in there However as soon...

I am drinking the first Barrel and I put the Hop extract in after 4 days. Beer is very very nice but having no sense of smell is not ideal to detect hoppy aromas Barrel 2 I put the Hop extract in before the Yeast so will report back as and when. Wont be long as 32 Pints wont hang around in...

I recently bought a KK with S30 and a Gas Bottle from Hamstead Brewing which I think are based in Brum Product Code Description Item Price Qty Total L.30 New Brewgas L.30 (S30) Home Brew Co2 Cylinder NEW £ 25.00 1 £ 25.00 The bottle is marked Brewgas with guaranteed filled by Brewgas...

Yes - he doesnt lack for a walk or anything in fact Hes compos mentis - and has nothing other than the "joint problem"which gives him a very sad demeanour. He does almost 11 hours overnight no problems ever - and in fact some mornings like this morning he "bolts" for the back door and goes out...

This is Jet with a "stick" It is an oldish Photo of him and remarkably he has just made it to 17 yo (on May 22nd). Obviously has arthtritis and his days must be nearly up though I have thought that for 3 or 4 years So treasure your dogs because where once we would walk for miles and then play...

Well this thread has been diverse but superbly educational (to me especially) Just to complete the circle - my Wherry has returned to looking great - glossy - shiny and it tastes good too I wondered following on from HBs advice reply #30 above if anyone has actually "suffered" from Chill Haze...

Hi HB I should have waited for your pearls of wisdom - but I rushed out took the Barrel out of Fridge and refilled with the Beers and Wines that I evicted to house it Perhaps I will give it another go at some stage and see if it does chill / haze / clear. Bet it does (probably) Cheers again...

Hi again HB - I'm persuaded already Beer into house and within 20 minutes it is 95% clear. Wheat beer to nearly clear Beer in that short time Moral of story - take it out of Fridge ? It was crystal clear before I put it in there but there is still a slight haze but that may go eventually if I...

Right - thanks again. In all my time brewing I have never come across this before - totally clear (I was really pleased how clear it was) and then having moved it to a Fridge (again first time I have ever done this - so that surely cant be a coincidence) it looks like Wheat Beer I have just...

Yes - that may be what has happened and for the last time. My 2 KK are top taps and I recently swapped them to S30 to give more control over the input of Co2 and today I am getting another lid for the affected one. Its a Rotokeg bottom tap but I need an S30 valve so they are all the same I can...

Just bought a new Tap to replace the one like the right one. Barrel is getting on in years so going for an overhaul Was staggered over weekend as I had moved Barrel (a few days earlier) into a fridge and was serving a nice few Pints when the Co2 "went". I gassed up with Co2 Bulb and had...

PanchoSimon Just returned to brewing (and have been asking away on here AND got some great answers) so keep at it If this helps my first brew was Wherry and it went into a KK and was primed with sugar at around 90g. The result was a very drinkable beer and it had secondarily fermented very...

I bought an Apera pH Meter for keeping Hot Tub "right" I was fed up with looking at the Colours using Strips or a Palintest set up and I wanted to know the actualy number Check it out on Amazon (quite a few Models) and mine cost around £40 - and it is a1 and does the job Hope this helps

6 5 which doesnt seem much these days as the young uns grow ever taller However I was almost always the tallest during my pre Brewing days (started in the 70s) and even till a few years ago I didnt meet many that were taller than me but see one at least oh here that tops me. He must have a...

Hi PhilBrew No I sold the lot for £30 to £40 quite a few years ago. Looking back a sad error to make - as I used to have 2 x FV on the go with same beer in them - transfer when ready to Pub barrel and have 3 on stock Used to clean my lines with Pub supplied Beer engine cleaner etc - like a...

Hi Pete Thanks very much for the offer and I have sent you a PM (worked it out eventually lol) Many thanks JT

Thanks again With the Sparkler Tap my thought was its press down or lift up rather than turning a tight tap. The tight tap sometimes does not open enough to let beer out with a head and yet a slight touch more and b-o-o-m 🌋a gigantic head - and another pitfall I have found is as the Barrel...
