Got one!

Your bank balance will never be the same again...

Well, they are a business and as a business it's in their interest to make a profit. You can't really call it a "profiteering racket" when the raison d'etre for a business is to "make money". For me, it's just another reason not to go to the Slug and Lettuce or Yates's. I can't remember the...

The design is fine and it works. It works in exactly the same way as a pot still does. Those are closed systems other than the outlet for the vapour that has turned to liquid/booze.

Lots of people have done this kind of experimentation before so not at all a moron. It's a good idea but what would be more useful is just changing one variable rather than multiple for each batch. So in your 5 demijohns, only swap the yeast to see what affect that has. Then repeat the...

There was certainly a bit of that but after doing some further investigation, it seems the pressure gauge on the unitank is knackered. Was on the phone with someone at the malt miller to try and figure out what might be at fault and we seem to have come to the conclusion that it was the...

Tartarus birthday beer. 15.3% 120 minute IPA (I assume the boil time). Very tasty but very very sweet

Seemingly the pressure gauge on my 7 gal SS Brewtech unitank is knackered so I'm looking for a new one. Does anyone happen to have a spare kicking around that I can exchange for hard cash? Thanks!

I bet that is either not at all true or an important part of that story has been left out. To believe a word that the Express prints is both foolish and naive.

It's an absolutely nasty rag. I genuinely have no idea why people buy or read it, other than to get themselves incensed and riled up. It's self-flagellation. There's nothing good whatsoever that comes out of that paper or the Daily Hatemail.

You're probably right.

Seems not to be the case. At least a few instances of them spontaneously combusting. For instance https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/e-scooters-banned-tube-underground-parsons-green-fire-b969837.html

It's a dodgy scooters setting on fire thing.

I've used S04 a number of times in the past and it's only recently I've had success with it. I've found on a number of batches that once it hits 1.020 it stops. And I'm not the only one it seems. https://www.google.com/search?q=s-04%201.020&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 Last batch, an irish export stout...

I'm a beer snob! I think that image relates to me more than anyone! This stuff is what I got my teenage drinking stripes on - Challenge Lager Beer, Challenge Distributors, England

You're missing out on some great lagers! As someone who never used to touch them, I've started drinking more lagers these days. Some of the UK breweries that specialises in lager like Newbarns and Utopian are making phenomenal lagers. And then obviously lots of German, Czech pilsners are hard...

Wakefield (Outwood) here. I've been along to the Leeds homebrew club meetups and they're always a good laugh but it's all organised on facebook which I'm no longer a member of. Also always up for a bottle swap.

You could almost do a combination of the two processes - chill down to below 80c so your hop additions stay as they are and then cube it. Perhaps? Chilling wort to 80c takes almost no effort and very little water.

Yeah, well tried with a foamy starsan solution and nothing seemed to bubble or fizz. I'm going to dump the water, fill it with co2 and try that next. Then if no joy, I'll stick it in the bath.

Yeah, I might try dumping the water and filling up with just gas and see if it retains pressure. Cheers!
