Thanks for this tip. I checked out the website and made black pepper chicken from it on Saturday night. Very delicious. Will try others!

Thanks, googled that, understood. I can't see how that is better than having a bottling wand at the end of the syphon tube though.

Ah, store bottles wet what a great idea. I assume by wet you mean full of water? I always wash a bottle as soon as I have emptied it, would be easy to leave full.

I'll be trying it tomorrow - will let you know!

You batch prime in the fermenter? And stir? Not too sure, but thanks for the suggestion

You have a point!

Hadn't come across the zevro, great idea, but I am planning to inject sugar solution with syringe. Bottling in crate. Party tap, gas pipe extension? Losing me. I dont have co2. I enjoy capping with my bench capper so I dont intend to change that. The biggest hassle with bottling is sanitising...

Thanks for suggestion. Not sure how to make it work, since co2 from current fermenter just escapes through airlock and I don't use co2 canisters. I'm happy to try my planned tweak as it is a minor change. Thanks though.

Thanks. Yes I could, but I'm afraid I just don't enjoy using plastic equipment as much as stainless steel. Daft I know, but there we are. Kegging or serving direct from FV (such as miniuni) wouldn't work for me, since the beer would be at room temperature (thanks Sadfield for pointing this...

Ah, right, ta!

Not sure on how big a cock up it will turn out to be, but it is massively disappointing

Welcome! What is a pub ale?

Can't believe that hadn't occurred to me! Cheers

Current fermenter has no pump. Hadn't thought about rigging up some kind of external pump, using a lift to enable syphoning without lifting it myself feels more in my comfort zone

Thanks for the replies, appreciated. The remaining thing that still attracts me to a unitank is the ability to serve directly from the fermenter. No racking, no bottling. OK the unitank wouldn't be available to ferment another brew for a while, would need to carry on fermenting as now for maybe...

Thanks. I've been treating water for a long time, so far the single biggest improvement I've made. I mostly make hoppy pale ales, and stouts.

Yep, that looks the same as the Vevor one, but £35 cheaper as you say Looks like I know what to ask for for Christmas now! Cheers

Hiya... Yes I found the thread where this was discussed - I see I was wondering what people used these for! Since then I have had an event with my back and so suddenly I can see the benefit. In my case it will be for raising the FV to suitable height for bottling.

I started out back in the stone age brewing in a bucket, with the lid sitting loosely on top. After some years I moved to a plastic bin with an airlock, and then more years later to a stainless steel bin with an airlock, gasket and clamps. No pressure, and the only temperature control is using a...

Do you use this specific lift, or is that just illustrative? Asking because my back is less keen on the lifting these days
