    Mash tun conversion

    1 inch hole refers to diameter.. 3/4" refers to fitting sizes. For instance a 1/2" fitting has a diameter of about 23mm. My hold is 23mm and hence can accommodate a 1/2" fitting whereas yours is probably a 28mm hole and can accommodate a 3/4" fitting.

    Mash tun conversion

    Hi everyone, I have a "Igloo Maxcold Island Breeze 62 Quart Rolling Cool Box 58L" I would like to try convert to a mash tun. It has a 1" diameter drain hold in the base toward the back. My concern is that most conversions use the coolboxes designed to hold cold drinks, and I suspect they have...

    does anyone use mini kegs for TC?

    are you referring to the ones that come full or beer or some other beverage fort about £15? the ones with a little tap at the bottom.. and if so wouldn't the TC cider spoil if not consumed within a few days due to the air being introduced to the product inside the keg when you draw off some...

    does anyone use mini kegs for TC?

    I soon got fed up with bottling WOW rose and now use bag in a box. I have done 1 batch of Strawberry and lime TC and it's a hit so will be doing more. I have thought about using the mini kegs, the 5l ones that don't have a tap but are conditioned with a bung and at the time of consumption the...

    Youngs American IPA

    yes, 2 weeks warm for secondary fermentation (carbonation) then 1 week cold and dark to settle. if in pet (plastic) bottles you can feel them firming up and know that carbonation is taking place. if glass not really.

    Mangrove Jacks Pink Grapefruit IPA Beer Kit + Free Enhancer

    ooh I put on the youngs last night. m8 - totally depends on you. If you like a tonne of hopps then go for it. You've bought it now. How many FV's you got? what about do half as the manufacturer intended and half with 50g extra hops? I wouldn't say it's massively hoppy, more citrusy - it's...

    Youngs American IPA

    I have done the math For my 5.5% abv:- :- ((OG) 1.05 – (FG) 1.007) x 131.25 = 5.64% so I would add enough dextrose to take it to 1.05

    Youngs American IPA

    Hi All, I have just ordered this kit, hoping for a nice hoppy beer. Quick question - has anyone tried using less dextrose for an abv around 5.5%? this may be sacrilegious but I am trying to control my weekly units.

    Punk IPA

    thanks for the info - wowzers there are certainly a lot of resipes in there. Unfortunately for me being a newb the only ones with any votes are all grain. I was after a kit that was similar to Punk IPA.. anyone done one? I have actually now ordered a Youngs American IPA as it seems a lot of...

    Punk IPA

    call me green but I am relatively new to beer.. mostly drink wine and spirits. I know what I like - for better or worse I really like BrewDog Punk IPA. I have just made a mangrove jacks kit that is very nice indeed - it claims to be "like" Elvis Juice" and wondered if anyone had brewed a kit...

    Mangrove Jacks Pink Grapefruit IPA Beer Kit + Free Enhancer

    it's good today - I would say jump on it before they stop givign you the free enhancer. I am going to get the american IPA before they do.. be warned - the one I got with the enhancer is a strong brew! it comes in at 5.7 without the enhancer so i reckon its knocking on 5.8%... the ipa is 4.4%...

    Mangrove Jacks Pink Grapefruit IPA Beer Kit + Free Enhancer

    I brewed this a few weeks ago, the thing that sold it to me were the free enhancer and the fact that it said it was in the style of "Brew Dog Elvis Juice" It was my first beer kit, I normally do WOW rose and red wine kits. The first thing that got my attention was the smell and taste of the...

    Red Wine Concentrate Substitute

    I also tried one of the £47 kits.. it was better than the £40 imo. But not better enough for me to buy another one.

    Red Wine Concentrate Substitute

    I gave all mine away.. it was thin and lacked body. i could drink ti but I'd rather spend £40 on a kit and enjoy it.
