Thanks for the advice, the image of The gague hooked up to the beer line is helpful, and it's good to know I need to keep an eye on the type of thread. I think I will get two of these, using one attached to a gas out fitting to monitor pressure in standing cornies is a great idea (I currently...

Thanks Fil, that's really helpful. I should be able to put something together now!

I'm really confused about cleaning products for stanless steel equipment. I have just purchased a Ss Brewing 7 gallon stainless chronical fermenter. The directions say TSP should be used to clean first time around. I do not have this so i tried to find some online and i cant find anyone who...

Thanks for the replies. Fil, fitting an extra gague sounds good, would something like this be suitable? Also could you suggest the correct fittings i would need to use? I'm in the process of upgrading a lot of my brew gear but still have a lot to learn, and dont want to end up buying things...

Thanks for the advice guys I will keep an eye on those things next time I keg. In the meantime looks like I may need a secondary regulator, which is frustrating as I bought the first one at the same time as i got the corny from the same supplier so assumed it would be suitable.

I have a regulator for my Cornelius Keg system but i am starting to wonder if it is approriate as all i am getting when i pull a beer is a glass full of foam. The regulator is seen below: I do not have any lines, i have a tap attached directly to the corny, so i know that may cause an...

Thanks, so looks like a dry hop of about 90-100g will get me what I'm after

I am a big fan of brewdogs Punk IPA as it has a lovely aroma I have been unable to find in bottled supermarket beer. My question is, if I was try and recreate that kind of aroma, what would be the best way of doing it? Dry hopping? Adding aroma hops at the end of the boil? Also how much would...

Thanks guys, I can find amber dry extract so its probably that

I have just purchased the beer smith 2 iPhone app and was trying to input a recipe. I can't seem to find medium dme in there which seems strange to me. Could it be under any other names? Light dry extract is there but not medium

Thanks, I'm going to use safale S - 04 does this make a difference?

The OG is 1.049 on my hydrometer, but next this it says 'potential alcohol 8%' I'm not sure what to do now? On the hydrometer the 'start beer' band is between 1.030 and 1.040 and 'start wine' is between 1.044 and 1.090. The hydrometer came with my first youngs homebrew kit.

I have just made an extract brew 23l: 2kg light extract 1kg medium extract 60g Fuggles 60g Northern Brewers I have allowed it to cool and the SG is massive (suggesting it is going to come out at about 7%). Have i put too much extract in? if so could i just water down the wort to make things...

Thanks for the advice everyone! I'm heading to the homebrew shop tomorrow so will grab some more malt extract then. Will also grab a different yeast as will be fermenting at room temperature. Cheers all!

some time ago i eagerly bought some (but not all!) ingredients from my local homebrew store for a pilsner extract brew. At the time the guy in the store gave me some instructions on how to brew the beer that i hastily scrawled down, but i have since lost these. Could anyone give me some advice...

hello and welcome, from a fellow noob. :drunk:

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone, i went to the Thornton shop today and got a Coopers European lager kit (anyone tried this?), which is now in the FV. I also decided to brew with brewing sugar this time round to see if there was a difference (does this really make much of a difference?)...

I've been reading the forum for about 2 months now and decided it was time to say hello! the advice i have picked up so far on here has been great. Hi everyone, i got into homebrew about 2 months ago through buying a youngs beer kit from Tescos. So far this has turned out rather well although i...
