I also can only use my corny kegs at room temp. I use about 35grm. of white sugar per keg, pressure up to seal the keg, purge the keg of air then let it sit at 5 to 8lbs of pressure - after a week it's good to drink. Cheers

Edd, thanks for the response to my conversations with you, most helpful - I discovered I'd got the CAMRA book so I'll formulate a Chesters clone from the information in there. It may take some time - but there will be plenty of beer to drink!! Cheers, and thanks again

Managed to part melt the plug on my Peco boiler on my previous brew! (12th brew} Got a new heavy duty plug from Clas Olson, wired that up and brewed again this morning, lagged the Peco with a £5 camping mat from Tesco also - I've just had the best rolling boil yet with it, and the plug only got...

There's a lot in what you say, the NHS would not survive without the dedication of the staff from home and abroad. I had the privilege of working alongside many hospitals for 35 years as a supplier of X-Ray film to them. My good wishes for a speedy recovery to you! Cheers

Thanks for posting Edd Yes Barm is the name for yeast, me old dad, who worked at Chesters Brewery in Manchester would always use that name for yeast. Do you have a recipe for Chesters Mild by any chance? Cheers

Ta for that foxbat, but the lead from the mains is fine into the Peco digital control box, it's the plug that's the problem. Cheers

Just done my 12th or 13th brew on my digital Peco, I use a separate mash tun but use the Peco to heat the strike water etc. Now have noticed the fuse cover on the mains plug has melted a bit and the plug was getting very hot during the boil. I think I'll replace the plug before the next use just...

Try 'The Flask' or The Holly Bush' in Hampstead' Cheers
