Yeah perhaps but I've got it sorted now and me and the girlfriend are planning another day/evening where we can brew soon 🙂 I'm sure we won't have to wait too long 👍

I'm in Leeds. But also not on FB. I've ordered a load online now. I'll just brew another day 🙂 I was mostly hoping to do it tonight as my girlfriend really wants to see and learn about it but we don't always have the time together at the moment to get into it. Thanks for the responses though 🤘

Not really. My tap water has really high chloride (among other things) so was going to use spring water which needs a little adding to it. Plus I've got ingredients to do a pilsner like I did before because I want to try and dial that in and the process before moving on to other styles if I can.

No luck. No brewing tonight it seems 😭 ah well.

Thank you for the response but I'm hoping to get some for today. I didn't realise it would be so difficult to get hold of so didn't buy online as I wanted to support my two brew shops not realising they don't have any 🤦‍♂️ I'll try the aquarium nearby. Fingers crossed and thank you.

I'm trying to get some calcium chloride for this evening and every brew shop I've called that's in a reasonable distance to me don't have it in 🤦‍♂️ Any ideas where else I could get it or if it goes by a different name? 😩 It's driving me mad!!

The final gravity was 1.011 and I used saflager s-23 yeast.

I did yeah. I used a calculator online somewhere. I don't know why but that just didn't even occur to me 🤦‍♂️ I've just ordered some new ingredients and have tweaked the recipe also. I've actually only given it two weeks 🤦‍♂️ So I could just leave the party star in and say turn up the Co2...

Hey all, So I finally got to try my first AG brew and it didn't go so well. Firstly I screwed up the water when brewing so ended up with a lot less and came away with around 7.5% of alcohol when it was meant to be closer to 5.5% 😬 it's very very dry. Almost like a wine 😂 I put it in some...

Hey, So on Monday I did my first AG brew. I kept it simple and just used some pilsner malt, saaz hops and saflager s-23 yeast but it was an interesting day. I made some mistakes but I got 15l of wort at the end which is fermenting nicely at the moment. I made a few mistakes, but expected...

Cheers. I was hoping to have a go this weekend but I'm still waiting on bits and haven't even got the ingredients yet. Life just gets in the way sometimes 🤦‍♂️ 🤣

Thanks for that. Ordered myself some fittings. Your setup sounds very similar to what I'm after. Cheers.

Update: I've gone and got myself a kegland counterflow chiller so that's on its way. @AdeDunn - do you recall where you got the fittings and/or sizes. I've got a klarstein 30l system but I'm away with work at the moment so can't easily check but want to be able to connect the AIO brewer to the...

Ah. Seems like I'd be better spending more to get something that'll actually last me. Thanks all!! 🤘

Yeah that's part of why I wanted to ask here. Seems a little ok the cheap side. I thought I saw it mention 20 plates but might have been imagining that 🤣

Hi, I need a wort cooler and was thinking about getting this Plate heat exchanger BEER & WORT CHILLER cooler HOME BREWERY Brewing | eBay I was wondering if anyone knew it it was any good and would work well on a 25-30l setup? Thanks.

Wow that sounds amazing!! To be fair I haven't rode in a while also due to a little one but do love it when I get the chance.

I don't climb outdoors...I'm not that crazy! 🤣 But I have a lot of respect for those that do. It's good fun though.

yeah I suppose all I can really do is my best and see where I end up at the end volume wise =) I'm looking forward to the learning process and if I get a beer at the end then even better haha I forgot to set the weights back to metric after taking the imperial measurements from the site haha...

Haha I mean what do you say about those really? Beautiful! 🤣
