Equipment questions please :)

This is true - I can't believe how expensive hops are - especially if you like that kind of beer.

Bit late to plant your hops now.

So I’m sure you’ll all be pleased to hear I got a fantastic bargain of a fridge freezer on Facebook marketplace. It was only £20!

Just brought it home now so will let the oils settle overnight before I turn it on. So pleased with it!

Whoever suggested Facebook marketplace, thank you!

Celebrating with a small glass of vino because why not?!

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

Is it just me or is the water dispenser on the front screaming "beer tap, beer tap, beer tap, beer tap"

Just you. I like my beer carbed.

I would rip it would to make sure there is loads of room inside.

I’m getting a bad free fridge habit, need a bigger shed.

Water dispenser in door taking up a lot of fridge real estate I think.

Although would be a good place to put wine in bags and dispense that through it. An interesting side project.

It looks a really good fridge freezer. Depending on what the other one's like, I'd be tempted to swap it for the kitchen fridge.

A really nice idea, but unfortunately no can do. This is my kitchen fridge.

Plus then it wouldn't match and I'd be all kinds of upset lol

Ideally it would come out yes. Not sure how though because the bottom white bit is moulded in. Will it leave a hole in the front? (can you tell we're crap at DIY?)

It'll do for now anyhow because the Fermzilla fits on the bottom shelf if I take the bottle off the bottom. Don't need this on anyway once the spent yeast and hops have been taken out. Just needed a cold place to carb and chill the beer really. ☺

Do you think we could use the freezer for anything? I didn't think it was possible to use it separately (or together with the fridge for that matter) but worth asking.

Did see the moulded part whilst looking on my phone. Can see it now on the pc. You could remove the seal and take out the whole panel and replace with a sheet of plastic, but that is only if you needed the space.

Freezer is a good place for storing hops. I have taken over the in house freezer for my hops, luckily we don't freeze much food.

Can anyone tell me please if this is what I need to connect my plate chiller to the camlock fitting on my brewzilla?

Do you know what size tubing you have? If 1/2 inch then yes. Post a link to the chiller. I have this camlock for my brewdevil

 

[Tess Tickle's Brewery]

I've got this one. I believe it's 1/2 inch tubing yes.

Yes, it is what you need.

Thank you.

Just a quick thanks to @Redwulf for the CO2 recommendation. Having asked the husband to look through the options of purchasing the CO2, he concluded that Doncaster was the most convenient for us. So we've managed to get some with no problems at all and at a fair price. ☺
