I used to use Brew store in Edinburgh for ingredients etc...really good service and reasonable delivery charges and free with orders over 60 quid. These have now ceased having been taken over...are there any other suppliers that dont incur ridiculous charges for postage to highlands.. Thanks

Hi Planned to make a brew today....trouble is my tap etc that feeds my chiller is frozen solid as its outside. Would I be okay to chill by letting the brew stand in a my sealed fermenting bucket and leaving outside in the cold. Cheers

I use a Mangrove Jacks heat pad and controller (until I build a brew fridge) Not had any issues, currently have a Kveik on the ago, fermenter wrapped with one layer of bubble wrap holding steady at 32 degrees...
