Yes, it sounds great to me too! Thanks everyone, I did as suggested and now it has a nice clean and blue flame :)

Thanks, I'll have a play around. You don't make beer from crabs, do you? :wink:

Well, I don't know if it's holy or not, (it may be electing a pope?) but it's causing me to blaspheme. I bought a large single gas burner for the purpose of boiling my beer. And a large stainless pan, which ain't so shiny now because the gas burner insists on putting out a rather weak, yellow...

In Graham Wheeler's books, he often refers to Maltose Syrup, and then rather vaguely mentions that it is derived from corn sugar. I've never seen it for sale as maltose syrup? What's a good substitute for this stuff, weight for weight, and bearing in mind that spray malt, glucose etc are...

I have one of those Chinese made 23 L Cornies. And THEN I got wise and bought a proper AEB Cornie from Norm..... The Chinese item is gas tight, and is OK apart from rust at the very bottom, on the "shoulder" where it meets the circular base plate of the Cornie. It's just a fairly thin rim...

Some people blame ordinary household sugar (Sucrose) for hangovers, did this brew use this? (Brewers use a massive range of invert sugars etc).

Hope you DON'T have Coeliac disease mate. I'm just waiting to see if I have it. But are you aware that there are other very similar illnesses? Like gluten intolerance, wheat intolerance etc? Best of luck to you and let's hope it's not Coeliac.

I have exactly the same edition, BlakenhallBrewer :) Yes, this book and his other (The Big Book of Brewing) were what got me started. Don't forget, it was only during the 60's that the Government scrapped duty on home brewed beer and hence the habit (which most country housewives knew well)...

Thanks, Fil :) There is a blanked off 3rd low pressure outlet on the regulator, next to the other 2. Could I use that? It looks to be the same size as the other two gauges.

Right, next problem! Or at least I think it's a problem... I got hold of a Wescol CO2 regulator. It has 2 gauges, the left hand one (high pressure) is in Bar/PSI and reads the pressure inside the CO2 tank. The Right hand gauge reads LPM (litres per minute?) and CFH (cubic feet per hour?)...

Thanks very much, Master Brewer. I will trust your kind words and experience. So, a 6 foot 3/16 piping it is and a tap. I only really brew British bitters and pales, so they don't need too much pressure but the tap on the cornie doesn't sound useful.

Thanks to everyone who answered. I now have my cornie, a 15 Kg gas cylinder and regulator. Now I need some disconnects (no problem there) but what's you advice on taps? Someone above tells me that they produce a lot of foam if they connect straight to the "Beer out" post, and there's the...

Thanks very much! That post takes a lot of the mystery out of cornies. I've been using plastic pressure barrels for years but the pressure drops right off once the barrel's half empty and gas doesn't help much. Cornies seem to be what everyone is using?

Hi all, I've just bought a 23 L AEB Cornie, a new one from copper kettle homebrewing (Because I'm a new user, the forum thinks the above's URL is spam) This is just so that you know which I have bought. I now need a gas system, tap and whatever else I need. Advice would be greatly...
