I like RAPT Pill. I also got RAPT Temperature controller, and I have a fridge, but I suspect it leaks heat that it tries, but cannot reach the desired temperatures. However, I still like the devices - Pill tells me how much alcohol got fermented and I find it very convenient knowing when brewing...

Have you tried more expensive kits? Even buying £100 kit and get 20-23 litres of good wine is still about £4 per bottle plus own labour/fun, I wonder if I can get close to £10/bottle wines from LidlL

Your statement is in line with my thought - how do I know what water I should add to make a good Pilsner? If there are already all nutrients in the malt, then perhaps I should simply add a distilled water... Not that much worried about my IPAs because they seem to work out really well, but...

Raising the topic from its sleep - is it cost effective making wine from grape juice bought in supermarkets? Because you can get wine kits for £20.95 that makes 23 litres, so Asda wine will be £34 for 20 litres Or you will get notably better taste? I currently make only wine (spend up to £40 per...

I am thinking to get myself very accurate scales, but not that accurate 😄. Guess I will mix Spotless Water (3/4) and Tesco water (1/4). Should I reduce pH? Guess adding lemon powder should do the trick

I currently feel that IPA is really good, on par what I can get in pubs. Lagers... The first one (Coopers European Lager) was more like ale, the recent one (Simply Lager) tastes like lager, but cheap one :laugh8: I want to make something better, and Pilsner is my benchmark - no point going beyond it

Yes, thanks, I just did, did you receive the money? I did not The question if I should use it with kit beer, I guess it it too clean, but I do not know what I should add to the water...

Well, who knows? I placed an order for 11 kits today so that they last me for 1 year acheers.

Well, I have Apollo pressure fermenter. I also now have fridge with RAPT temperature controller with tubular heater and RAPT Pill I want to make good quality lager, something like Pilsner, maybe a German style lager if no other option I only do kits Do I need to control the temperature if I use...

I have Apollo pressure fermenter and now I built myself temperature controlling fridge that uses RAPT temperature controller and RAPT Pill. Can I make a great Pilsner with this setup? I will source water from Spotless Water, what ingredients I should add to profile water, maybe you could send me...

I don't understand, though well respect, the need for creating recipes :) – so, I simply buy kits and brew in a pressure fermenter to get good result with the lest effort. I am happy with my drinks and people compliment on my IPAs. I guess my approach is the easiest way to get excellent results...

Don't underestimate the power of being mesmerised by transparent pressure fermenter 😵‍💫 If the spigot comes fine and I find a way to attach additional legs to Apollo, then I will be hypnotysing my guests by the view into the brewing fermenter 🤪. Though any further expansions of the pressure...

An update about Apollo - I got in touch with Keg King because the spigot used to secure the bottom of the fermenter to collect the yeast got detached when I started brewing leading to a spill of 1-2 pints of wort. They said in the email that they fixed the issue by sending new design spigots...

Thank you - I am training and giving away about 3/4 of what I make, people appreciate my brew and I get a lot of feedback on what I should improve

Which one did you go for? The Malt Miller is doing a Special Offer on one, but I don’t know which one to choose and how to choose…

I got too much trubs/yeast when I was transferring last time - I have Apollo Unitank and the ring on the floating filter broke and the filter sunk collecting yeast when I finished my brew. Now I replaced it with Fermzilla Hose Filter Mesh from Amazon, but not sure it will sot out my problems as...

I only recently started brewing and immediately started with pressure fermenting. These are the kits I made and dates I put them to brew: 1. 6/11/2023 Muntons Gold IPA , yeast GV12 - WIP 2. 5/11/2023 Pinter Public House IPA, Yeast E491 - WIP 3. 10/10/2023 Mangrove Jacks Craft Series Beer Kit -...

I probably do incorrectly :tongue: Anyway, I wash the bottle, sanitise it using Chemsan (not always, but I do it if I received the bottle first time or if I did not sanitise it in the last 3-6 months, 6 months if it was mainly keeping water) and then pour water inside so that there is absolutely...

I want yo get myself inline filter that I will use during the transfer from Pressure fermenter to kegs. I know Bouncer is one of good brands, but even Bouncer has several models from small to Pro I also know filters also have different sizes What recommendations you would make? Stick with...

The difference between UNitank 30 litres and snub nose is that, theoretically, you can remove settled yeast from the bottom. In reality, there is no space and you end up affecting the plug and it leaks badly. And the plunger obstructs the wide opening so you have to carefully pour malt, I...
