    Stainless fermenters

    You can get the Klarstein ones for less, I got one for £58, this was partly a reduced selling price by their Hi-Fit Tower ebay account and partly a discount voucher Ebay had on, if you take your time and keep looking you can get them for less. Recently they had the 30l (40l absolute capacity)...

    Crafty Fox Electric Brew Kettle

    No one should actually be selling them as 13A rated as the connectors are only designed for 10A, that said the lead you have linked to should have a higher temperature rated connector and the H07 cable is also a higher temperature rating, however, 1mm cable is only rated for 10A. It should be...

    Crafty Fox Electric Brew Kettle

    You can still get some marketed as 13A but I believe the IEC 60320 standard for the connectors has always had a maximum rating of 10A. Once place where the can be confusion is between a C13 and a C15 connector (the C15 has a notch below the earth connector) the C15 is high temperature rated, the...

    Keyless entry.

    Some of the new cars have motion switches in the keys, if they do not move for a while the keyless part deactivates. Most others do have a way to turn off e.g. Mercs you press the lock button twice in quick succession and it will give a long flash of the keyfob light. I do like keyless entry...

    Small batch brewing with 30L all in 1 systems?

    Strange, Your 50l unit in the video and the 30l (or 40l for most sellers) unit I have look like twins, but mine requires 1l of water per 1 cm of water depth, the bottom of the grain basket tube is 9cm up from the base and with the volume in the pump etc you need a little over 10l of water before...

    Small batch brewing with 30L all in 1 systems?

    Speaking as a distinct ameteur, I have a Klarstein 30l system (which is actually a 40l capacity so you can boil 30l with plenty of space left at the top of the kettle to prevent boil overs). It is one of these...

    Solomon Grundy Piesporter 7 day Wine Kit

    Hi, I though I would post a review as I could not find one for this kit already. I made the 6 bottle 7 day kit, bottled it and also had the first of the bottles as a sample. The kit is designed to make 4.5l and consists of a bottle of grape concentrate, yeast, nutrients, stabilisers, clearing...

    Have a go at simple AG

    @JohnB Thank you for the info - I have had a look at the videos and they provide some good information. I will give it a go and see how it turns out.

    Have a go at simple AG

    Hi, Thanks for the advice. I have seen a vast array of recipes, but I do not know what the different malts taste like and hence I can not work out which to try, I know I could try some and see how they work out, but as I (will soon) have the ability to boil a 20l batch and a 5l batch (finished...

    Have a go at simple AG

    I followed the suggested method at the start of this thread and made 2 batches (although I used cascade hops on 1 batch) and a week in the fermentation seems to have finished and (considering it is at room temperature and just out of the FV) the results taste good (when taking an SG reading are...

    I think I may have done something daft?

    It is bubbling away again, so hopefully it will finish fermenting. As suggested I added some more yeast, I am away next week so Wilkos was the only local source, I red-hydrated it, started it on some sugar and yeast nutrients for a couple of hours and then added it to the part fermented mix and...

    I think I may have done something daft?

    Thanks for the advice, the total batch size is now probably around 20l given the losses to take SG readings etc. I will try adding some more yeast and see if anything happens, failing that I will try bottling and see how it comes out

    I think I may have done something daft?

    Hi, I am still only on my first attempt at brewing a kit (technically my second as well), having go a kit Muntons Premium Larger, I duly followed the instructions and all was fine for a few days. Someone I know kindly donated a couple of 12l FVs they had spare and I had a second kit (also...
