Re: Finally a PITA-free canning solution?
Have to agree, Too much faffing about[emoji848] a grand for the canning machine with a duo can filler! I can probably fill and cap 2-3 500 ml bottles in the time it takes to fill and seam one can and then the machine flicks beer all over your upper body. :) :shock: We have sold out but more will be...

Ghost ship clone (BIAB)
Not "Thames" water, "Town water". :lol: They're in Suffolk, a long way from the Thames. I did wonder if that was a typo or has been misheard. [emoji846] My wife isn’t really into beer but had a try of my pint of Ghost Ship when I was over earlier this year and has been asking since when I will brew...

Ghost ship clone (BIAB)
Allow me to show my ignorance here about something I've never understood! If yeast is pitched at a low rate, say 0.4g/L, but the fermentation gets going, why doesn't the yeast just keep multiplying until the primary fermentation is over? In other words, why does a low pitch rate for dry yeast lead ...

Re: Refractometer
Has anyone got or used one of the refractometers with a build in LED? I’m just curious about how they perform.

Re: Refractometer
Even coverage is needed so I confess I’m a drowner outer. I want to be sure I get a good sample with no dilution. The plastic flap squeezes out any excess. Me too. Frequent washes between readings, dried with a clean soft cloth, and further readings if any doesn't fit with previous ones. Also it is...

That did make me laugh when I saw that and I wondered which NAB/Anglian person did it. [emoji846]orlando wrote:Who would do such a thing as sneaking the real Ghost Ship into a Brew Club competition?

Refractometer
They are usually pretty easy to use but a couple of thoughts: - calibrate it using distilled/RO water (I admit to not doing this every brew and sometimes using tap water to check is not been drifting but the homebrew ones and the usual hydrometers are not lab grade ones so I am not expecting lab acc...

Cheapest place - 5 litre/1gallon All grain kits
A few of the online suppliers do their own recipe builders but for small batches it’s probably cheaper to work out what you need for a number of brews at a time and then “bulk” order the grains and hops. Just ensure that you mix the grains thoroughly before weighing them, assuming that you are havin...

Finally a PITA-free canning solution?
I see The Malt Miller has quite a selection of canning and filling equipment now, including manual and semi-automatic machines. Having seen the Kegland one and a couple of others I have always thought they were a lot of hassle to set up and probably a bit of a PITA for homebrewers, although maybe ha...

Re: Grainfather grain mill
Just be very wary of unknown sites offering stuff at half price, ensure you use a method that you can get your money back through (e.g. PayPal) and that you won’t miss the money whilst going through that process.

Here is a quote from edsbeer.blogspot.pt/2014/11/fermentabiliy-and-mash-temperature.html Carried out by Jaideep Chandrasekar (whoever he is) with a grist of 90% lager malt and 10% carapils. 65°C. 82% 70°C. 75% 50°C. 50% 80°C. 30% Fermented with lager yeast Not sure why that came out wrong but here ...

Re: Ultratap Flow Control Twist
Ended up buying in the US, the UK KK product prices are eye-watering. Whilst over there or did you take the import duty hit? The Euro and pound are both in the toilet at the moment so will not be helping things. Did you manage to get a sparkler spout too? Hi f00b4r They are coming back in the new y...
