Thanks jamesb and tuby, its highly unlikely ile want to brew a stout, so i guess ile be ok then. james is the ASDA cool box well enough insulated or will it need extra. I was reading somewhere that, one cool box was not insulated enough so the guy took it to peace's and added extra...

That sparging rig looks a tidy bit of kit, no moving parts, thats got to last a lifetime for sure. Have you tested to see if it cover's all the mash with the hot water spray?

I have just noticed that my ASDA coolbox/mash tun is only a 24 ltr size, is that big enough for a 5 gallon brew. The reason i ask is that i noticed someone else had said their cool/box mash tun was 27 ltr. Thanks.

Does anyone know how much beer pumps are new, or better still a free flow pump with a chilling unit built in? Or where to get them from?

Thanks bolty, if they are wanting your beer, it must be good stuff. :)

So i need a ten gallon boiler to make 5 gallon of beer?

Thanks arturobandini, but is'nt a ten gallon boiler a bit on the big side? I thought the standard beer boiler was only five gallons

Sorry toasted i only just spotted this one, but are you saying that you can boil enough water in a kettle to do a brew? or you used the element from the kettle to make a boiler?

Thanks toasted and wez, next up a boiler. :D

Sorry to be a bother......again......but I have just tasted my larger, (Brewmaker) Pilsner beer de luxe, i kegged it just over one week ago, and it now taste pretty good, in fact i can hardly believe how good it tastes really, its got a good head now too, but i think it is a we bit cloudy, will...

Thanks hp, that does does indeed help.

I love that story. :rofl:

After hearing so much about Woodfords Werry, and having no idea what it was, i just goggled it, and while looking at their web page, i noticed something called a buddy box, which is for storing your beer in, has any one here see one close up? I was wondering if it could be used in home brewing...

Thanks ano, i think i can feel another brew coming on. :D

Thanks everyone that,s a wealth of cleaning advice so it is, i am most grateful. But you've got me wondering if i have made a mistake with Campden tables now, it would be a shame if my first brew in years went off, but not to worry, ime feeling lucky. :D

Thanks everyone, i appreciate your replies, that one of Growlers sounds spot on, shame i don't have an Ikea near me.

Just one thing i would add, if no one minds, and that is when the beer/larger is ready for drinking, its easier to chill your drink when its in a bottle, you just pop it in to your household fridge. Wile i am here, can i ask a question? Are those two 2 Ltr plastic pop bottles ok for putting...

Bribie, Can you tell me where you get the digital stick probe thermometer?

I have used Campdem tablets to sterilise my equipment, i was told years ago, that if you drop one campden tablet in one Gallon of water, and just rinse it around your bucket, you can rinse it with clear water and then use it straight away, with out leaving it to stand for any amount of time, and...

Thats virtually the same as the one i used to ferment my Larger kit, it seems to have done the job ok for me as far as i can tell. If it is the same idea as mine it has suckers fixed to it, so that you can stick it to the inside of the brew bucket. I took a wile to get the temperature spot on...
