cool, cheers for the advice. what do you think about the yeast options?

sorry for such a long thread but its not something ive made before and would like to get it right and i know you chaps are the people to ask. i know its the wrong time of year bieng that its not october but as i dont have anywhere to cold ferment i thought i would take advantage of the cold...

great thanks very much everyone. i shall try those ideas out and hopefully it will sort it out. i also agree that 40 mm is a little bit too big but like you say its a bit late for me but now it should all be fine once i get some large washers/o-rings. cheers

thanks. good point. i was thinking that maybe thickening the seal with another rubber washer might solve the leak. what do you think?

i will have wyeast smack packs, brew labs tubes and slants. im not fussed about saving any of them to be split or anything like that but just want a simple way to use them that will work well. if i like them and want to re-use them i will probably save the yeast cake and split that up like in...

its just you! ha ha thanks for all the replies everyone. no pound shop near me but i will keep my eye out. i have got myself a couple of plastic plates which im gonna try first. thanks

thanks. maybe i should go for the plastic plate approach then as i cant really afford to go down the sainless steel route. unless anyone knows where to get a stainless steel false bottom on the cheap or some thing else i could use? cheers

i took one down to a mates for bonfire night. took it down there around 10 in the morning and started drinking it that night at around 9 and it was fine.

do you think this would be suitable as a false bottom? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BRAND-NEW-30CM-ME ... 5d26ade2c6 im planning on drilling lots of 1mm holes in it.

cheers shandy pants. Maybe i should think about spending a bit more money then in that case. best see what else i need to get first

cheers for the reply. thing is i was trying not to spend too much money. do you think there is any way to do it with one without a thread on the back? i also saw this http://www.thermometersdirect.co.uk/acatalog/Magnetic_Bi-metal_Dial_Thermometer.html#a100527_20A14 magnetic thermometer. i...
