Hi can you please sha Hi can you please share the recipe. Cheers TD

Maybe it's just this strange year but I've developed a taste for deep house chill music and my 25 year old son is now into 50's crooners go figure but if you like to get on the beers and chill try this, awesome video too best watched on a big telly..

have you done two brews in the same day and put both fermenters in at the same time? just wondered if you got a significant temperature difference from top to bottom and do you have a fan on all the time ?and is your an upright fridge?

I got the fridge repaired cost $350 for labour and control module, I'm OK with that as its in decent nick with good seals etc and 2 fermenters fit in very easily. I'll source a 240v fan and plug it in to the heat source socket on the Inkbird with an adapter and place the fan near the heat...

Thanks Grmblz. The fridge does have a fan so I'll take some readings in different parts of the fridge to see how much the temperature fluctuates.

I have a FP E450 fridge thats constantly beeping after a flash and a pop. It still seems to get cold but I suspect the fan has gone. Anyone familiar with repairing these products that might know if this could be an expensive repair? I've read on line the bulb inside the fridge could cause this...

Just thinking of getting a spare fridge repaired that has plenty of room for two 30L fermenters. I already have an inkbird temp controller with a candescent lamp as the heat source, which so far in my other smaller fridge works great. I'm trying to avoid running two fridges at the same time. I...

It's not looking good for the people of America, whoever is president will have a split government. Dems have the lower house Rep have the upper house, in these times you need a president who has control of both houses in order to drive through a recovery for the economy. All they are heading...

Thanks Kadmium you've given me something to try next brew and yes some $$$ might be saved there! Cheers mate much appreciated.

I need something in my shed to heat up sparge water of approximately 12L.

I'm looking at buying the above 15L urn just wondered if anyone else has bought one and what they thought of it...

Looking at setting up my shed for brewing. There is a water supply from a tap on the outside wall of the house that has a garden hose attached that is also in pvc pipe that goes under the shed slab to an existing toilet in the shed. I've read that garden hose may leach lead into the water, so...

Wouldn't mind seeing the recipe too.

At the start of a boil I took a reading after the wort had cooled to 20c in the hydrometer tube and it read 1040. I then performed the boil for 60 mins, boiled off approx 4liters then cooled the wort and at 20c took another reading it read 1038, any ideas as to why that would be?

Just thinking of dry hopping in the keg whilst adding some sugar simultaneously in order to naturally carbonate at room temperature for a week then cold crashing. I'm sure this will have been done by some of you already and was curious to know if there any effects to the beer in doing this...
