That is how i supply the power to my boiler, also i have a RCD connected to each. Well better to be safe than sorry (as my late great grandmother used to say)

i always tend to use GP yeast. Altho on the first TC i made i used the yeast from a Youngs bitter kit, and that turned out ok. Im pretty sure that the original recipe for TC suggest using bakers yeast.

If i was you i would go for the twin 2kw element boiler. If you are going to make your own. But if you decide to get a Burco, they are usualy 3kw single element, all you will need to do is bypass the thermostat and it will work a treat. HLT (Hot Liquor Tank) - used for heating water used for...

Yes Neil, that looks good . im sure a couple of people on here use those. But to be totaly honest with you, you can make you own for a fraction of the price. A cheep cool box from Asda - £7 A 10 galon Bucket from FleeBay - £20 or there abouts 2 x cheepo kettles - £14 or there abouts Various...

Happy birthday mate. :thumb: Hope you have a good un :cheers:

I agree with Prolix, i brought one last year. Could never manage a rolling boil with it. All i use it for now is a spare HLT.

There is you problem then mate. Once you have used it, give it a good clean with boiling water. Then before you use it again, wash it out again and sanitise it then rince.

Neil Kmnow this might be a stupid question, but do you clean and sanitise it after every brew?

Mick. Mine about 5ft of line going into the chiller and another 3ft coming from the chiller to the tap.

Recieved my order today John, great service yet again. P.S. Lisa is still none the wiser. :D :D

is there any chance to can post a picture?

Ive done 9 AG brew to date and it was only on the last 3 that i started to treat my water. And now all i do is add i teaspoon of gypsum in the mash and another into the copper.

Mick mate, the first time i pulled a pint from a cornie it came out the same. Dont worry mate you will get the hang of it. Untill i increased the pipe length and connected it to a chiller i couldnt pull a decent pint to save my life.

Welcome to THBF. :thumb:

I personly wouldnt bottle it at 1.016, its still aon the high side. Meaning youve just moved it to a secondry i would leave it there for about 5 days.

FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT :lol: :lol: :lol:

You cant fault Ian and Anne, they are two of the nicest people ive ever met. Even if the ply my girls with sweets everytime they see them. If i order on line i tend to use Paul at BB, but recently ive started to use John at Worcester Hop Shop, great service and a quick turn around. Hopefully he...

Im sorry Smok3y, but only having 2 cornies is just wrong. :twisted: Dont you realise they are very sociable creatures and like to live in groups of 6 or more. :party: :clap:

As far as im aware the only substute for grape concentrate is rasins. Then i think it about 1lb of rasins = 1/2 pint of concentrate. But im sure Moley or Sam will come along soon and prove me wrong. :oops:

Take a hydrmeter reading again now its cooled down to room temperature and see what it is. If it still low make up a suar solution add it in stages to the DJ. Give it a good stir between stages and keep taking a hydrometer reading untill you get your desired OG.
