    LPG level tester anyone used for C02?

    Probably not, as it’s designed for LPG cylinders. CO2 cylinders are generally smaller in diameter, but much taller. They are of a significanty heavier gauge of metal due to the higher pressures involved. I also suspect the Truma unit is calibrated to a certain density for butane so if it did...

    How do you stick your labels onto bottles.

    I’ve been using these, and printing them out on my inkjet. A quick 15min soak in hot water and they just slide off. Any adhesive that’s left behind is easily removed with a scotchbrite.

    Bottles

    I’ve just bought 50, 500ml bottles for 30 quid delivered. Just so I can brew more :)

    How long do you dry hop and how hot?

    I’ve just dropped 125gms if hops into my FV thus evening. 50g of Cascade, and 75g of Citra. I ramped up the fermentation temperature to allow the yeast to clear to 20.5 from 19 on Sunday. I plan to leave as is until Friday morning then cold crash ready for bottling on Sat evening or Sunday morning.

    Robobrew and Grainfather false bottom

    This post popping to the top just reminded me. I have used the “false bottom” twice now and both times on the boil it’s lifted, allowing hops to get underneath. Also point of note, forget about whirlpooling, as again that just lifts it off the bottom. In all honesty, a post boil whirlpool being...

    Oxygenate

    Oxygenate

    Yup, I used my whirlpool wand to oxygenate the wort. If you boil you drive off all the oxygen in solution. You need to get that oxygen back into the solution, so the yeast can have a good start. Some commercial brewers actually infuse oxygen in the wort as it transfers to the fermenter through...

    Deathstar's Brew Day

    Another brew day tomorrow, looks like I forgot to append this thread with my last brew of a Landlord Clone. Anyway, going for a light hoppy blond ale. I’m having a little play with this one to use up some open (frozen) hops before I open up some new sealed bags. Recipe attached. I’ll update...

    Will you be downloading the Government track & trace app?

    There seems to be a misunderstanding on how this app will work. Essentially it’s looking at proximity to others. From my awareness. User 1 will have a randomised ID, user 2 will also have a randomised ID and on it goes. It uses Bluetooth as proximity sensor. User 2 is diagnosed. Anyone who has...

    Thinking of making a stout

    I brewed this at the beginning of the year, it turned out really nice. Personally, I’d up the smoked malt a little and increase the chocolate the next time to maintain the OG. Post 3 https://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/threads/deathstars-brew-day.84271/#post-863736

    Raspberry Pints

    Well, yesterday I was at a loose end, and I have some spare time to tinker with my RPi, so I decided to upgrade to the latest version of Buster and install RaspberryPints. My RPi does other things too, so I had to make sure it was able to run the other apps that I use. Anyway, here goes the...

    Robobrew and Grainfather false bottom

    Major retailers have issued product recalls on several items.

    For potential hull breach?

    Keir Starmer.

    In all honesty, I feel labour now have a fighting chance to grow again. Forget about the impact of the current pandemic we are in the midst off, they will bring back some unity to the party and have a potential opportunity to govern again. That is my simplistic view.
