Hi I am looking at buying a book wondering if anyone can recommend it or another one. I know this one is very popular. Thanks

I have been thinking about attaching something like this to the exterior of the urn. It says it reflects 80% of body heat back. Will have to do a bit of research into its heat tolerances though.

Thanks for all the input. Looks like 40L would be the minimum as I expected. Will have to start working on the wife now.

Hi, 1.7kg Morgans Blue Mountain Lager 1kg LDME 300gm Dextrose 250gm carrahell 30gm Saaz plug@25min 30gm Saaz plug@10min Was wondering if I should wait and buy a wyeast 2278 czech pilsner or use what I have, S189. Is it worth buying a $12 yeast for a kit. Pointers on yeast and recipe much...

Hi Going to use starsan for the first time on the weekend to bottle and was thinking of filling sink with recommended dosage and then filling bottles and draining them back into sink. I am interested to know how what other methods are used? or what is the "best" method.
