I make pinot grigio and barollo, always brew short At 20 litres and leave it 9 months at least, normally A year before drinking. I alwars pour into a decanter An hour or two before drinking.

Thanks MM, appreciate your replies.

Hi MM, thanks for the reply and the PM. Please could you help me with my further questions?

MM Would you mind giving me the part numbers from Screwfix as I searched for a bend and for an adaptor and cant Seem to find any.

My Kevlar washer didn't fit over the parallel nipple Rang BES and they said it's not meant to - there's nothing they can do. The internal diameter of the washer is 5/8 inch. Ordered some fibre washers off eBay - hope they do.

I've received all the bits as per the OP, but realised that my barrel curves steeply inwards at the bottom for the last 2 in. If I put the tap above this, will I have lots of wort left when I drain the boiler, or is there a way of screwing in a bend to take the drainage down to the floor of the...

Booked up a forthnights camping at the Watermouth Valley Camping Park North Devon, and to my delight, this festival is on. Anyone going?

Hi Steve. I won this kit in the raffle, and will be starting it as my first AG brew when the tap and hop filter arrive for my blue Mango 50l boiler. How did you cool the wort? My idea is to get a five gall water Container, pour it in and cool it in my bath filled with cold water containing five...

Roddy, have you had a sip when measuring the SG? With all that grapefruit, how acidic is it? Pete

Dr Mick. I'm in Milton Keynes. Where is your nearest homebrew shop ?

Gareth, if you look on ebay for blue mango barrel, there are offerings for six quid plus five postage. Now these are smelly and take a lot of cleaning with oxyclense and bleach, but when they are done they will serve as a boiler.

Made a kind of AJ WOW beginning of last month. Made a starter with 1L AJ, 100g sugar and the washings from a previous W0814 brew. Used 250g sultanas, 560g bananas and another 650g sugar plus the usual additives. Brewed at constant 24 degrees and it took 10 days

See. I have PMd you the url for the videos for the Tommy Walsh programs. Pete

Zee, have you heard of Tommy Walsh, the handyman from a long gone makeover prog? He also did "Challenge Tommy Walsh" on Pick TV. One of his challenges was to covert a garage into a room. I recorded the two programs for my mate who was going to do this. I can try and upload them onto...

I use one as Im using sultanas instead of the wgj thats non-existant ATM. I wash 250g under the hot tap for a minute to get rid of the coating of vegetable oil, put in a kilner jar and cover with boiling water, and leave till they swell up. Then I blitz them, sieve the liquid into the bucket...

Hi. I use a closed bucket for recipies where solids are used, eg I make a peach wine from four cans of Sainsbods value peach slices and a litre of my few remaining wgj cartons.

did you use any wgj or sultanas? 4 orange juices must have 400g of sugar, so with the kilo of sugar you will make a 16% brew, is that what you are aiming for?

Had a quick look through this thread but couldn't find the answer to my question. Has anyone made a WOW with this mango juice? http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/groceries/longer-life-juice/sainsburys-mango-juice-drink-1l I figure a couple of these for 150p, wgj or 250g sultanas, and 600g sugar...

@acuk63. Looking at your photo, if that plastic bin is watertight you could fill it with water and put in a thermostatic aquarium heater set at 20 degrees to give better, quicker results.

As I understand it once you have added finings to a brew it will kill the yeast and all subsequent yeast you add, I'm not saying you're wrong, but why bother with stopper if finings does this. dont you use finings in beer and then prime it?
