Isn’t bleach the main ingredient in most purple beer line cleaners? So leaving some in the bottom of a keg or even using it to clean kegs is a bad idea?

Got the inkbird set to 6c, it gets chilly up in North Yorkshire on a night, for the sake of a few quid I just installed one. Some people don’t have one but I’d rather not risk it

It’s outside in the garage wink...

Drilled a hole at the bottom left of the fridge for the heater cable and probe for the inkbird. The fan cable just goes through the drainage hole of the fridge. The gas line enters just behind the keg on the shelf, this goes to the middle regulator then on to the other two. Going to use the...

I bought a beko larder fridge last month, put three taps in the door, there is room inside for a fourth. That’s with three secondary regulators and a heater in too. Plan is to have another keg ready to go as soon as ones empty

I did a double brew this weekend using 100g of Sabro along with a touch of Mosaic & Simcoe in each (same recipe for both brews) Ones off into a pin and ones off in to a corny. Used a 50/50 blend of dried Aurland & Midtbust in both. Smells lovely and fruity from the airlocks! Should go down a...

Anyone brewed with these yet and if so what’s your thoughts?

Yes or no? For me it’s a no, what do you think?

Just gone into the fridge in the garage to get some Voss for the brew I’m doing at the moment and all of my jars of yeast are frozen solid! Thankfully I’ve got backup dried yeast in the freezer for all the strains I’ve got. Will the jars of slurry that have froze be ok to use once defrosted...

Switching to kegs so I’ve a hundred or maybe two hundred spare bottles if anyone is interested? All of them have been rinsed with warm water after use and placed on a bottle tree to dry before being stored in the garage. Some have labels, some don’t

Cheers for the input guys, decided to go for a secondary on each keg. Waiting for the postman to bring me a package from RLBS. Just need another fridge now!

I need help, Ive been searching the forum all day and can’t seem to find a definitive answer. Basically I’ve bought 3 kegs off THBC and I’m struggling a bit with the regulator side of things. I normally brew pale ales / ipas so I’m planning on using 2 of the kegs for similar serving pressures...

I’ve had the Stranda off the seller but that was when it was £7 for 4g. I just tipped it all on to some cooled first runnings and pitched it as normal after the boil. Took off fairly fast and finished in three days I think. I have some of the Jovaru in the fridge which I also paid £7 for. I...

We’ve all been there, can’t be bothered to cook but your starving. What’s your favourite go to dish for convenience?

Has anybody brewed with Jovaru before? The description sounds promising, got some coming through the post, thinking an orange and coriander wheat beer to harvest some yeast from to begin with

Bit the bullet and took a sample, it’s at 1.010 so plenty of sugars left. I gave it a gentle swirly before replacing the bung and airlock too, seems to of released some co2 because according to the water levels I have some pressure and even a couple of gurgles in the last five mins I’ve been...

I appreciate the reply mate, thanks The brews only a month old if that, LEP said they use Belle Saison then secondary in their wooden barrel which they use on rotation. There must be a bit of sugar left for the Boon slurry surly? I need to get a turkey baster so I can draw a sample out of the...

The other weekend I bottled a ten month old kettle sour that had a few bottles worth of Gueze Boon dregs added. I’ve added the slurry to another brew that has fermented out with dregs from a ‘Little Earth Project’ beer. I know airlock activity is not a sign of fermentation but there seems to be...

From what I’ve read mould can be quite resilient. The yeast discussed in this topic in Espe, would anyone be up for a yeast swap? I’ve got both dried and slurry of the kveik strains I’ve currently got.

I left this to ferment out and have the slurry drying in the spare room. I tasted the starter and couldn’t taste anything out of the ordinary, given it was only a few days old tho. Would a spell in the freezer kill whatever the black mould was or would making a batch with this yeast still be a...
