We do vex on our vessels don't we? Made me think of a Sunday lunch at a distant relative's house in a sleepy village nr St Albans North of London. While the old dear was in the kitchen putting the finishing touches on the yorkshire pudding; the girlfriend and I were dispatched to the local pub...

There's some leachate data for HDPE in the Tomboulian report linked above: "Table 3 Chemicals leached from polyethylene, HDPE, PEX Chemical leached CAS No. Source or primary use if additive Allowable limit or risk factor Potential health effects Odor (or taste) threshold Odor (or taste)...

Good point TB, the beauty of BIAB is in the simplicity. Don't over-complicate it. The beauty of BIAB is in the simplicity. Don't over-complicate it. The beauty of BIAB is in the simplicity. Don't over-complicate it. The beauty of BIAB is in the simplicity. Don't over-complicate it. The beauty...

I've considered that idea as well - but why not just get rid of the bag altogether?

Hi Reg, We're resisting the move to BIAB until we can resolve this problem as well. I've been trawling the web for a month or so now trying to find a suitable SS mesh basket to use in our kettle. I wonder whether the hole size would need to be smaller than for false bottoms. My (limited)...

I agree with ...well whoever it was... I don't think you need a buried reservoir; just a sufficient length of ground based piping through which you can recirculate your cooling fluid. If you get the length (and depth) correct; your fluid should come out at a constant 15 degrees all year round...

Great find Pumpy, I've had two visits since we got our 60l fermenters. I've stopped trying to pretend that I can lift a full one now - no need to pop the grapes out again... We've been considering a block and tackle type of arrangement - but that means being very confident of the fixtures we...

I'm not sure that this is a very helpful topic. Especially as it appears to be a regular one. Stores like Brewcraft have their place. They are a good place to start one's homebrew journey; but if you move on from K&K then it will quickly become time to shop elsewhere. I still use the Brewcraft...

That's good enough for me:) Thanks Mike

Hi John, Your 2.4Ghz phone may be the source of your weak wireless internet signal. They interfere with each other at that frequency apparently. Try a 5.8Ghz phone if you get a chance and see if you get any improvement. As for a sloping floor. Our brew space serendipitously has one and its...

We're running an Italian Spiral with an identical stand to the one pictured, plus one of beerbelly's adjustable medium pressure regulators. It sits straight on a wooden platform and hasn't (to date) burnt the wood at all (we're doing 60min boils on 60-70l of wrt). And yesterday we boiled up 60...

I've been looking at those hanging scales. Great for weighing out a bucket of grain or LDME... How accurate are they - have you checked? I see they state a 20g precision, but precision isn't to be mistaken for accuracy! Cheers Breezy

Thanks for the links Jimmy. We found http://www.brownssawdust.com.au/ eventually - they supply most of the stables about the place. Delivery arrives on Tuesday. Cheers Breezy

Thanks Sappas, Really pleased that you guys are enjoying this beer. We love it, but there's lots of room for improvement because we stuffed up the recipe on this batch! Here's the label text: ============================================ Bitches Brewery - SNPA Clone (AHB: Breezy too, benny)...

Good on you Enid:)

Hi all, I'm trying to source a cubic metre or so of sawdust for use on our garden paths. Preferably hardwood. Definitely untreated. Anyone know where we might get some? Cheers Breezy

If you have a tap - try whirlpooling at the end of your boil. We did this for the first time last night and it worked well - all the hops left in a pile in the centre of the pot. At flameout, stir the wrt into a good brisk vortex (minimise splashing), put the lid on and leave it to settle itself...

Me too. You were too fast Stefan:)
