Perhaps I should add that the original recipe suggested the option of adding vanilla too but I removed that since it seems a bit of a faff for now and would make deciphering the effect of different variables that bit harder. Don't know if it's removal would open the door to adding more lactose...

Hey Having done my first ever all grain (Totally Tropical by James Morton - currently cold crashing) I wanted to do something similarly interesting and hoppy but different enough to feel like I'm experimenting and learning (as I'm obviously an artisan of pale ales now :rolleyes:). Don't think...

SS FV? Mine was intermittently missing readings but a WiFi extender plugged in very close by completely resolved it

I was looking at the exact same website just a couple of days ago and am somewhat local to you so do shout if you give it further consideration and want a travel buddy :beer1:

I'm in the - very - early days of brewing but after a stalled fermentation with my current batch and a suggestion of hop creep I thin I am going to get one of these if not a tilt. Price and wifi are the main attractions to the ispinder and so would be interested in buying a premade one from...

Hmm so the sample is 1.020 (6.8%) and whilst drinkable, had an usual taste to it which I would struggle to describe in my brewing naivety. Came out mostly as foam to begin with too which I poured away (half a test tubes worth) despite the pickup tube being set horizontally atm. Have upped the...

I do love McKee and the EPB. Met him when he was in Notts last summer for his art gallery but spent the entire time talking (moaning) about Wednesday with him. Thanks for the advice, I think that is what I'm going to do. I'm in no mad rush to drink it I guess but living in a city centre flat I...

Yeah that did cross my mind too - exploding bottles are also a concern in a small rented flat.

Ah okay. This makes me feel sad. But at least I'm pre-warned

By ready, do you mean it took an age to bottle condition? Or that it took a good while in the FV to reach the desired gravity? My blowoff tube bubbles halted after a week though like I say a hydrometer reading will be taken tomorrow.

athumb.. I live in Nottingham but was born in Sheffield and have been a season ticket holder on the Hillsborough Kop pretty much all my life...probably why I drink so much. The gerald is because Gerald Sibon was my favourite player whilst a teenager - it's a childhood moniker that stuck for...

Yeah I suspected there would be no definitive answer (as ever!) but it would be nice to draw on the experience of others. And thanks for the link though I fear you have used this thread's URL. It got the 'view's count up after a few attempts to be sure mind!

Afternoon all - hope a good Saturday is being had! I'm currently brewing the below kit - with the intention of it being my last 'out of a can' type job so I wanna go out with a bang - and have some queries now that it has sat in the FV for two weeks. It's the first time I have done a high...

Beautiful, thanks! This pleases me more than it probably should. Just ordered.

Hey Do you have a link or seller name please? I'm also after some and this would be perfect but don't want to risk getting the wrong size (had a nightmare with toolstation and screwfix in the past sending me the wrong ones which is pretty ridiculous)

Bummer, no the left most nut isn't welded in the first photo - I screwed it on manually. So I need one of these in between too Flat Rubber Washer

Yeah the website photos arent the clearest but your post makes sense, the blue line being the lid (and the top nut being to give it some height for the tubing since the centre of the lid is recessed): Thus the thermowell which has a metal flange (snigger) / washer disc

Morning again all Pleased to say that the Brew Builder fermentor has arrived and that I'm probably far more excited about a metal bucket than I should be. Will treat (...) everyone to a photo or two when I get a mo but before doing so can I ask a dumb Q? I wanted to check that I'm not missing...

FWIW Ardbeg is my favourite distillery but the nicest whisky I've tried was a Lagavulin 25 yo. Preferred it to a 36 yo sample that I had there infact. Laphroaig QC is best bang for buck / my go to I spose.
