Jim's Beer Kit

Sorry I'm a bit confused, it looked like you were using copper? (I meant I used plastic beer pipe wrapped round the keg itself, which did seem to work well though) One Sat in a hurry i wanted to keep an extra keg cool, i found a bit of copper left over from making my counterflow chiller on the shel...

Just wondering why you don't just use the line chiller as a line chiller?

I do, but theres a few times when i've had 4 kegs on the go at a time! if all to boys from work come around.... a lot of beer gets drunk!

I went for plastic just because i wanted something flexible and none permanent so could be move around easily

A long period of quite online, I thought i should share what i have been upto...... Last summer while trying to serve beer outside and keep it cold i did an experiment and it seemed that it work. I got some pipe, duct tape and connected all up to my maxi chiller, wrapped the whole lot in a large tow...

I rarely can brew on Saturday. Monday is normally my day off so I brew on a Monday. So don't change the date for me!

If I can I'll join in the party.... Though I might have to brew the following Monday, if that counts! Saturday are not good.

Many years ago I brewed a russian imperial stout, I used the dilution method of golden syrup and black strap, because I couldn't fit the gran needed into my mash tun, it made a lovely beer. Hit 12% if I remember rightly. I'd happily use the dilution method again on a strong beer.

I bought a 1100w sump pump off eBay, I think it delivers 200l / Min. I think needs some 22mm to keep flow rate. We used 10mm because we could pinch the top and saved need caps on each pipe.

That's a good point, now you say, I did notice that it had not got going before I left and US05 would have done. I'd not made that connection.

WA, You make a good point. Having just come back from a beer festival, where on our bar we had this most horrid smelling sulphurs beer, we only had complaints in the trade session, and after that it was all drank and we sold the whole lot to the punters. We think it was due to bad water treatment at...

Can that come from fault yeast or just not cleaning fv correctly?

Hi, Hoping for some advice. 10 days ago before heading for a week at a beer festival I did a double brew day. Brewed 2 recipe I've brewed before. Both fermented with MJ M44 yeast, though for the 1st time of using M44 and both bout sat the same temp in my large fridge just as I always do. Last night ...
