sounds like no infection after all :thumb:

1004 and mashed at 66c , what yeast is it and do you often get it low . Although different beer 1012 is the lowest i get mine . ( and wouldn't want it lower to be honest ) Are you entering any bitters in TST comp ?

wow what useless fu== ups they are .

Your welcome , as far as fridge goes if it comes off ( you can change which way they open ) then they;ll be no pipes etc inside door unless it's american style fridge but that'll have pipes in 1 corner of 1 door if so drill other door .

It is 3/8 line but grey , maybe some on ebay . And a jubilee clip too .

P.s if you boil good and long and get the larger proteins to drop out then protein has no issues and yeast issues are easily solved by shaking the keg slightly to get the yeast back into the beer if clearing any ( left standing for a while may start to clear ) I find it tastes better and...

I got mine from brewuk , but the very same is here for much less http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MIG-Gas-Regul ... 43b0d52c20 however if you can find 1 with psi in small amounts would be better , mine (that 1) is numbered 0 10 20 30 40 etc with notches while others are marked better for low serving...

looks to me like a little of calcium chloride crs may be better than the sulphate 1 unless you want hoppy beer .

depends what you brew , fizzy yes , creamy low fizzy then 3/8 line . Maybe 6 ft if medium fizz less if lower . get inserts off ebay for 3/8 to 3/16 if needed to use 3/16 for fizzy and maybe 6ft ( mine 4ft at 20 psi serving for wheat of 3/16 , most other brews want 3/8 and serve much lower psi ) .

Welcome Ian , an introduction is usual as a first time poster . Do you do kits ,extract or all grain ? The main competition for members will be ' The Spring Thing ' which is a get together planned for May (12th onwards for the weekend) and you can enter your beers .

If possible around 10/12c is ideal for me unless a lager then a bit cooler .

3/16 line for lagers , wheat beers and fizzy brews while 3/8 line for medium to low carbed brews . I have a tap with 3/16 fitting in it then use beer line around 4 ft (wheat beers for me mostly) then that goes into a jg fitting that connects to the disconnect that goes onto the out of the corny...

Can you not get your self an aquarium heater (50 watt around £10/15) and a storage container (70 litre £7 ) with a digital fish tank thermometer with probe ( £4 ) and you can brew from 18c upwards and will be steady and constant . Yeast makes beer we make wort and yeast is a moaning , fussy...

I would use as much water as possible then top up after boil . Steeping doesn't matter as far as ratio goes so just do em in your water first that will be boiled .

You might want to think about use wlp320 american wheat yeast , no banana and clove which would allow the fruit to shine .

Not sure cherries would work flavour wise with banana and clove :hmm: other fruits like orange or strawberries seem to work for some . Maybe a belgian yeast instead and only around 30% wheat with pilsner malt , ibu maybe around 25 . just a thought .

Yes mate

mash in and rest 10 mins , raise at 1c per min plus rest of 20 mins then more raising plus next rest 30 mins then raise again plus last rest of 50 mins then raise to mash out plus 10 mins is around 2.5hrs . If I do a decoction add 40 mins more .

You can def do better here . I do a 2.5hr mash with a 90 min boil and i get it to around 6hrs now . I get the water and the grains all ready the night before so when i start the water is on from go . I clean in between mash and boil , i also start the boil asap then chuck the rest in when...

Hi Rui , i'm also a may baby :) sounds like a great party your village enjoys . I would up the crystal to 200/300g ( more towards 200g ) otherwise you might not notice it . I would think it's more a pale ale maybe as the ibu is too low for an IPA . Hope it goes well :thumb:
