I use a similar Norgren regulator as well. The gauge is 0-100 Kpa and I set it to 25 KPa with the kegs at 10C. Gives the right carbonation level. When I first set up my beer engines around 9 years ago I had a cask breather but found it unsuitable in a homebrew situation. The cask breather would...

I'll grab a kilo Dave. I won't be in town until Monday morning though. Let me know if that will work.

**** hot.

Takeaway food containers, the ones you get from Chinese restaurants, are good as well. They stack well in the freezer and are reusable as the ice block comes out easy.

A cheap arse PID controller in manual mode, via an SSR, will control your boil. If you don't want a temperature probe hooked up, put a 100 ohm or other value resistor across the temperature probe inputs. Not sure if all PID controllers are the same, but if they don't read a resistance across the...

I bought some DME from Grain and Grape, was branded Breiss Light Malt. Same thing, kept boiling over. Went back to the DME I had usually bought from my LHBS and the problem was gone. Ended up mixing 2/3 of the good DME with 1/3 of the Breiss, which didn't boil over, just to use it up. Another...

Black Sheep Ale Clone Haven't nailed it but it's close. To be truthful, I prefer the real thing but after a few tweaks I think mine will hold it's own. The real thing is more malty whereas mine is more hoppy.

Not unusual for engineers.

I was going to push LF around on that red trolley thing but I lacked a bit of coordination later in the day.

Was a very nice afternoon. Nice brewery, good beers and a very friendly host. Will definitely be going back.

Soft cocks.

No other takers?

Was it this one?

Beer filter. Used it a few times, found it a pain in the arse. It hasn't been used for about 4 years and just takes up room in the cupboard. If I want to make a beer crystal clear I use Gelatine.

Richy, The only date of those above I could make would be the afternoon of the 22nd or all of the 23rd.

^^^^ Great practical advice^^^^

KK pumps work very well. Have had one on a single vessel brewery for around 18 months and have one on my 3V HERMS set up without any problems. I've also had a March pump for over 8 years without problems. For around $75 its pretty hard to beat the KK pumps.

If you've got it, flaunt it. :D

Belgian Golden Strong. 8.4% ABV Bottled this 2 1/2 years ago and still beautiful.

I wouldn't bother too much about a small amount of pitting on the end of the probe. Its a metal sheath only, the NTC10K is a small resistor inside of the sheath. If it hasn't corroded through it won't throw your temps out. Give it a clean with a green kitchen scourer to remove the corrosion. Its...
