Thanks for the info Iain, looks like a good system.

Don't care what it looks like, but it's taken me 24 hours to get back on - it wasn't broke - so why fix it

Welcome from an even less sunny Manchester. As to water, is it soft like ours here? Cheers

Me also, good to deal with :thumb: Cheers

I also use a bag in my coolbox mash tun, with a small SS tea strainer strapped over the tap outlet inside the tun, to keep the bag from fouling the outlet, works great and cheaper than a manifold. I get clear runoff from the start, no stuck sparge & cleaning is a breeze! Good efficiency as well...

It's worth getting a few PET (plastic) bottles - Wilcos do em for about £8 for 24, use some to test the carbonation level over time, as they carb up they firm up quite well, also it gives you a few extra bottles - you never know when you will need em! Cheers

My thanks also, well worth reading :) Cheers

Welcome, happy brewing!

Numerous kits over the years, good, bad & indifferent but now planning my 11th AG early Dec, all the AG beers have been so much better than any kit I've ever used. And Santa is bringing me my 2nd Corny Keg, so SHMBO says! Cheers

Welcome to the forum! +1 on starsan, It will not give you any aftertaste just use as directed. Cheers

Watched Assassins Creed on Saturday night, well made but rather disappointing I thought, didn't think much of the games also! Sad about Love Film - I was a member for years and watched a lot of good films in that time. I'm lucky as I can stream SD & HD movies OK, but not everyone can and Love...

It was about 2 shillings a pint for bitter when I started, mild was about 1 shilling and 11 pence, wept bitter tears a few years later when the bitter in our local rose to half a crown a pint. Cheers

Bah! Humbug! :mrgreen:

I've had mine each year since I turned 60, also folks ask about your once in a lifetime viral pneumonia ***, also free to oldies :) Cheers

Not only that, but we are also lucky to have local home brew shops accessible by public transport as well. Welcome to the forum & happy brewing :thumb:

I have the digital Pico and it works fine for me, adding temporary insulation (I wrap a doubled bath sheet around it) during the boil works very well, gets 28 lit to a rolling boil and the plastic will not distort, yes it will stain over time and you must clean the element and tap carefully -...

Once a month I have a day out with a beer loving friend - just a few beers and lunch - we always start and end at Beermoth :whistle: Cheers

Ta Mr. Tea! As I'm from Manchester we are lucky to have outlets like this, I know of ones in Altrincham and Ramsbottom. Was up your way on Tuesday, photo trip One from outside Ruskin's house

Enjoy your holiday! And all the very best of good fortune to your venture :thumb: Cheers

Never tried King kegs, but the cheapo small neck barrels are not so good - ditching mine as I'm going the corny keg route, and bottles. Cheers
