Slippery slope...UPwards!!! Seriously, enjoy the journey- and the end result of your labours!!!

I got my gas bottle from the folk that supply my local with gas- no deposit, and £11 for a refill...

Was working in Hale Barns, just next to a Booth's store, and, as well as a great selection of local and national bottled and canned beers, they also had a very comprehensive selection of gluten free beers, which my colleague was very thankful for. They also had 330ml bottles of Dead Pony Club...

I'm in, thanks!!

Looks very inviting- have you posted the recipe before? I'm sure I've seen it, but can't find it..!!!

To be sure, to be sure...!!!

Hi An Ankou, I recall that you replied to a comment about removing the gas in tube on a corny keg. I'm hoping to use floating dip tubes in my Cornies, but wondering how you deal the gas in post if there's no dip tube/o ring? If it WASN'T your reply, I apologise..!!!

LOL!! I only do it after the krausen drops, just for gravity samples, so it hasn't been full. My main Co2 supply is 6kg bottles, that I get from my local at only £9 per refill, so I'm quite profligate with it!!!

Dimplex, from Toolstation- item no. 17033, £14.98... Depending on the height of your fridge, you may find 2 are required- mine is 6' tall, and there's quite a variation in temp between the top FV and the bottom... Can be 4°C, so I'm going to put another in the bottom, and control them with the...

Hi all, thought I'd share a quick technique I've just devised to harvest Co2 in a normal, non-pressurised FV. I was keen to do this, as I was aware that when taking samples for gravity checks, I was introducing oxygen through the bubbler, and I'm brewing light, hoppy APA- type beers, which...

Boiled, cooled and added, hopefully not too much oxygen introduced ... Now chugging along at 2Hz again!! Thanks for putting my mind at rest.

Hi all, happy 2021!! Having started AG last year, I haven't done any kits recently, but as stocks were getting low, I bought a couple of RB kits. Threw one together on Jan 7th, and it took off like a rocket!! Just looked in the box for the hops, and I found the big bag (650g) of dextrose...

It turns out that the parchment I used wasn't, probably just brown paper- it's a wonder I didn't set the house on 🔥...!!!

Here's mine, a bit undercooked in the middle, and the paper stuck to the bottom, but it's delicious, proper sourdough taste!!!

Also made pancakes last night with spent starter, mixed with water, and had them with a curry.... YUMM!!! Took a while to cook, but maybe I made'em a bit thick...

Mine went mad overnight, here's the Mrs beating it into submission for its overnight rest, then baking tomorrow, all being well!!

Mix with hands, or wooden spoon/mixer?

We baking today? If so, I may delay feeding until later- then it's at full fizz!!! Great thread, BTW, thanks!!

So, when I feed the mother, it bubbles up after a couple of hours, then by the next feed time, it's reduced back to just above where it was- is this ok, or should it stay "fizzy"?

Hi all, and Happy New Year!! Anyone used this freezer as a keezer? If so, how many Cornies do you get in it? Can't find the interior dimensions anywhere... Thanks all.
