Responding to the PM, Yep still interested, would be handy to know the cost though, unless that's already buried in this 21 page thread :-)

I didn't think the single colour would be as good as the original, but I was wrong, that looks really good.

Cheers guys, I might just go Lo-Tech and get some fine mesh hop bags and let them bob about freely when using pellet hops, it's not really an issue with leaf, but I'm getting more and more pellet hops these days.

I either transfer to a bottling bucket or straight into the PB onto the priming sugar, I did try racking to secondary for clearing when I first started, but personally I don't see the need.

Clean after use with some sanitiser and a I tend to spin it round a few times to persuade any fluid out and dry a little before storing.

I am looking at introducing either the use of a Hop Spider or Hop Bags to help limit the trub in the boil kettle. Any pro's or con's to one over the other or a bit of a much of a much'ness? I'm looking at ideas for my rapidly approaching birthday so if Hop Spider any reccomendations for one at...

Some nice gear on that site, some of it a little pricey but not all, will add it to my list of on-line retailers :-)

AG wise started with a 15L pan with an element in it, my hob is ****, but in last 6 months I have moved to a Peco for BIAB and in the last month added two more Peco style bins to have a HLT, Mash Tun and Boiler set up. Bought the Peco as a BIAB kit from Geterbrewed, the add-ons have been...

When I needed to get hold of them I used Facebook messenger and even over a Bank Holiday weekend they got back to me, not the quickest but I wasn't expecting it instantly due to it being a BH.

No, but is it still on a little island or grown since I last went in about '93 when I was student in Northampton. I was gutted when the glass broke, my first Beer Fest glass.

Something to think about. Last brew used Hop pellets that came in bags, it was better as far as hop matter in the bottom of the boiler was concerned, but there was still a reasonable layer of trub. It'll be a few weeks until my next brewday so time to mull over a few ideas.

I'm thinking about doing this to reduce the almost 3L dead space in my boiler, I have a spare elbow from a false bottom I'm not using and after reading the brulosophy article about levels of Trub into the FV it doesn't seem to be an issue. The only thing I could think of that would be a real...

On the Sundew with Falconers Flight Dry Hop tonight, whilst everything else either ferments or ages.

If you've got the time and the knowledge you can string them along for ages, rarely get called these days but if I do and I have the time my non-windows house hold can keep them trying for a long while. Sometimes I feel sorry for the guys in these call centres as in reality they are just...

Just checked this again on Amazon to make a pay day purchse and it looks like the UK edition has been pushed on to August now :-( US release is still tomorrow

Well brew day went very well until the end, can't seem to get a total smooth run yet, but still learning the kit and this was the first run not going BIAB. Main issue is water volumes, thought I had it nailed down but the Fv came out woefully under target at only 16.5 litres. The Mash was...

Go direct to Peco, http://www.pecoservices.co.uk/spare-element-mashing-bin---eb5-21-p.asp only £15.38 plus postage. Not always in stock though, but add your email to the notification, and grab when in stock.

Cheers both, as it's the first run with this set up I knew it would be a bit of a suck it and see, but always nice to know I'm heading in the right direction. The difference in air temperature since my last AG brew day will effect the evaporation enough on it's own, it was barely above freezing...

My next brewday planned for the Bank Holiday with have coming up will be the first run of my cheap as chips 3 vessel set up, rather than the BIAB I have been doing and I just want to check over some water & recipe calculations. It's an off the shelf English IPA All grain Kit from Get'er'Brewed...

Been drinking my SunDew over the last few weeks, really nice and picked up lovely flavours from the Falconers Flight dry hop. Doesn't taste thin like some have me mentioned, but suffering a little from be a little over pressure and frisky when pouring from the PB.
