    Grainfather G40

    Hi, I think you will enjoy it I got a G40 in the MM early black black friday sale last November.. For me you have hit the nail on the head in that comment and I think that was the reason why I moved over to the G40.

    Home brewing books for beginners

    Hi as a few others have said the Greg Hughes book is good, british and relevent to the modern day for beer brewing. I don't do much country wine anymore but the old CJJ Berry First Steps in Winemaking book helped me, although don't know if some of the processes discussed are considered...

    Wine kits recommendations

    So I spent some time in the brew garage tinkering! Found a cheap white plastic coat hanger, using a lighter to heat it up and a pair of side cutters to cut it to length, It is kind of ugly Chile’s of a wine wand as per @Chippy_Tea and @Dazzelknight’s above. Just need a way of centralising it...

    Wine kits recommendations

    Thanks all for the explanation, I hadn't realised about the clearing benefit. So, as long as you don't do it for too long and don't splash it, it shouldn't introduce oxygen? Are there any visual indications that you have done enough degassing? or is there a rule of thumb of how long when using...

    Wine kits recommendations

    Thanks again for all the recommendations. So I pulled the trigger and got a 6 bottle kit of the wine expert classic chilean merlot and pinot grigio, based largely on what was available and closest to the styles that me and the mrs tend to drink. I set the Pinot Grigio going first and it has...

    Cordless controller

    Such thing does exist, but as far as I know it is integrated, I have a Traeger wood pellet smoker and it uses this controller: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ORIGPARTS-Controller-Traeger-Pro-Ironwood/dp/B0BZMVP44F Not sure if that is what you are after, essentially an inkbird, with a probe that...

    Fleet and Gedney buying

    Look like they are all gone, he has put 4 aside for me and @MashBag but someone else has taken the other 6. Apparently some other brewer took 10 last week!

    Fleet and Gedney buying

    I know mashbag has kindly offered the sealed buckets, but assuming he doesn't have enough for everyones grain, I have found the below for sale in sutton st james, only asking £3.50 a container. I might swing by and pick a couple up one evening this week, shout up if anyone else wants any. They...

    Fleet and Gedney buying

    Just checked, apparently I am booked in for childcare Saturday morning, but can do 12.30pm onwards. Just need to sort something to store it all in. @MashBag can you let me know what I owe you please? So I can come armed with the correct cash for you.

    Fleet and Gedney buying

    Hi Sorry for the late reply. I don't think the bluebell opens during the day mid-week, I think it is only weekends it opens afternoons. I do have a bit on next week, unfortunately but I could meet Wednesday evening or next Saturday early afternoon? Thursday Luchtime is OK, but it would be a...

    Fleet and Gedney buying

    Yeah there are, don't really know much about them if they are any good. Can recommend the Bluebell at Whaplode St Catherines or the Chequers at Weston. But if someone is picking up from Peterbrorough then the crowland pubs probably suit better. Think the George and Angel and the Abbey are...
