Please! Sorry, can't do it my end at the moment!

DOes anyone know the diameter of one of the bog-standard plastic FV's marked to 23L / 5 gallons?

How are they to deal with? I notice they do auction format for pots, so I have emailed and asked if they would be happy to give me time to win two pots I need and BIN for a thermos and then get invoiced for combined shipping to UK. Have you used them? What's the shipping like?

Hi! The French ebay site that sells the SS stock pots and thermoboxes etc doesn't seem to be selling anything, but all the posts can be found under a seller called media-trust that sells all sorts of stuff. Does anyone know if its the same trader that has simply changed names, or have they...

I was always under the impression that hops weren't a concern, due to their natural antiseptic properties. Just be careful when you open it that you don't drop anything grotty in it!

Okay! So....I won't quite have the brewery up and running, but I want to brew a beer for my wife's birthday party in the Summer (surprise, so doing it at a mate's house). I have a few hops in the freezer and some Maris Otter, so wanted to use up what I had. Not sure if I have everything...

Hi Bram! Cheers for that - but I am a LITTLE bit confused where you describe the outside and inside of the inner wall. Do you mean there is a socket literally in the void between the two walls into which things go that effectiviely fill the holes? If you could post a sketch of this and/or any...

Never tried using extract or making the ginger beer, but I would say DON'T USE WINE YEAST WITH MALT! Wine yeast strains prefer fructose over maltose and produce flavours that are much better suited to wines than beers.

Hi! Sorry - been ill and off the forum for a bit. I opened the barrel on January 4th and it was very nice - in fact, just finished this week (although was beginning to start tasting a little stale by that point). It tasted nicely malty, but I would maybe have liked it to have dropped just...

Okay. So, Aleman posted a very useful video here: http://www.effinbrewery.dreamhosters.co ... 3&Itemid=9 which demonstrates how to fit a ball valve in place of an otherwise ***** tap. I like this a lot. BUT.... I would really like two questions answered: 1. In the video, Aleman describes...

If you used an HLT with sight glass as a back-up boiler, would it fill the sight-glass with loads of hoppy, boiling-worty filth and make it all murky and hard to use, yet alone clean?

Oh, go on then! Sounds fab.

That makes for interesting reading - especially the price and efficiency with which the Chinese can churn them out! I have a question for Cedaronics: Can you use the STC-1000 on a digital timer? Some people stick their HLT on a timer so that when they wake up, the HLT is already up to temp...

YAY! PLEASE not the weekends of 12th/13th or 19th/20th May. It's my bday on 13th (family plans) and I have a course on 20th. I suppose I could wangle the birthday weekend, but might upset family a bit :o Oh by the way, Bristol is nice :whistle: *cough* Arbor Ales *cough* Bristol Beer...

Well, it might be alright, but it might have been said in a sort of 'this might be slightly confidential' kind of way - problem is I can't remember! In fact, I can't remember the guy's name who told me either. But I know his face. Maybe an ID parade at the next social :D Sounds interesting...

Well parti-gyle interests me, but i wouldn't brew like that all the time by any means. Sometimes I will do small batches, sometimes large, sometimes a split P-G. It's all experience at the end of the day, and should - HOPEFULLY - result in some nice beer! Do you know if the spring...

Ah yes! Well, at the end of the day, maybe I can save money on the wiring upgrade and buy a vessel to store a portion of the wort until I am ready for the second boil. It's all time I can spend in the garage with my toys at the end of the day :cheers:

Ooooooh, you bugger! :lol: No, this hasn't got into the toilet yet, I guess it needs working out with a pencil! :D

Oh s**t! That was the dilemma I had with an electric boiler to start with, which would require me to run off the garage and the house anyway. Actually, if I could get away with a single element in the HLT then I could do it, as the kitchen has its own ring and the cellar runs off the rest of...

Could one of these be used for example to operate a solenoid relay to open a tap to operate an immersion chiller inside an FV for enough time (short burst) to lower the temperature very slightly? Or is that just REALLY stupid? BTW, I am not planning on doing that, it just came to me on the...
