Cask washing? Just get the choons on when keg/growler washing (streaming NZ Brian FM, brilliant!) That is my brainless happy timeathumb.. Sometimes I think PPE can be a bit OTT, an irritating necessity. I use prescription PPE goggles after an eyeball caustic wash. Gauntlets, ear defenders...

Welcome! :beer1:

We run a restaurant, knives are the tools of our trade. Pro Cook Chinese Japanese copies work surprisingly well and last. Still like my global and Victorinox look for a hardness about 58-62 and I now use a diamond wet/dry stone. Never bought a set cos there's only certain ones we need. Forget...

Great decision and what an interesting read. clapa Keep your notes and write a book? I always regret not chronicling our move from mainland UK life to our current mad world (including the brewery expansion) Life is not meant to be boring. {As he crawls back up in the loft to find the...

Winner!!!

@RoomWithABrew one of these...

Nice one @Stu's Brews ! Really interesting. I'm mainly hop tea for adding my brew aroma - so similar technique. Will try to remember to do overnight <70*C on my next brew. However I now use a 3L airpot ('cos it was free) with T90's and my Randall on leaf. Not tried the T45's yet. I have...

WARNING - Canning spoiler post:coat: (Don't want to offend, just asking a question) Contrast the enthusiasm on this thread for canning with what is being forced on Scottish brewers who can and bottle with our Deposit Return Scheme. Actually starts registration today! this explains the...

I have a Brewbuilder 150l SS Conical with the same problem when I bought a new sealing ring. I found It 'clicked' in when I liberally applied a 'certain' brand of scent/flavour free lubricant,,,,,,, ashock1:laugh8: (other food grade lubricants are available) I used a stiff silicon spatula to...

@foxy I thought Proxitane is another name for PAA and breaks down the same 🤔

@periolus, Agree! However, would you use it for kegs as a 'no rinse' - is there a risk of vinegar aroma?🤔 Anyway, It appears to be the brewery/dairy go-to with Caustic. The waste water can also be PH neutralised and used on gardens (as I do) great nutrition for plants. Nipac for beerstone...

66+ Breweries gone in 2022. :eek:😭 some big names in there. https://beernouveau.co.uk/2022-closures/?fbclid=IwAR1b9usB-p_U_qEuPiDspHo9iqtt-B-cv9p7LHr6j8bMnfpfz37sL5CCGCg Seems November has been fairly flat for brew sales with not much pick up from the footie/cricket. God knows what will...

For leaf tea I use my angel hop rocket. But for T90's I now use a 3L airpot with a muslin bag...

Still got jalapenos in fruit! But, going to cut back, and doing the same up here on Tiree in our conservatory. Setting up a 5v fan on a timer for a bit of air movement. last year struggled with mildew,,,, Do you re pot? 🤔

@Brew_DD2 athumb.. Too many uncaring hubristic Mp's with their snouts in the trough. Restraint (Sophrosyne) and humility gone.

All this talk about the UK as it operates in a football focused technocratic paradigm where English and Welsh supporters show their affinity by kicking the *hit out of each other,, :laugh8: But I still find the whole concept of Paradigm isn't really relevant to our world or is it? "Paradigm...

This is a bit of a shocker, not sure if it will happen. But the floodgates for loads of community brew pubs may be openedashock1...

Like most I started with kits (the first gen boots ones if i'm honest) fast forward to Kits today - Festival Razorback and my life changed. You can then add steeped grains. TBH I do big BIAB when I have the luxury of time. Otherwise I still do a 'big type' of kit (I sell my brews) but i'm big on...

Welcome friend! My brewing journey was greatly assisted by Darlington HB shop, not sure if it's still there? Good timing on the brew. Good luck.
