    Brewing Classic Styles: 80 Winning Recipes Anyone Can Brew (paperback)

    Yep I've got it, probably my favourite and most used brewing book ever. Excellent recipes for a starting point for a style. There's been a few misses, e.g. his RIS has a target finishing gravity of 1.030, which I hit (along with every other target in the brew), and which is way too high even for...

    Grain Mill - Not All Rollers Are The Same

    Yep, as above, "grain driven roller" is the exact opposite to gear drive roller. Gear driven means both rollers spin at the same speed at the same time, all the time, even when it's empty. Think of two gears or cogs meshing with each other, and one turning; so does the other one. Grain driven is...

    E-keggle Won't Maintain Boil

    wow weird, I run a 1700W element with insulation and get a vigorous boil with no lid.. that said I have pretty wicked insulation using aeroflex. I heartily recommend it. In fact, I think insulation is a must if you're electric, makes everything quicker and uses much less energy.

    Again Free Shipping Costs at BelgianSHop

    eBay seller was good. Arrived this morning, box packed extremely well, customs dec only said "glasses" which probably helped it evade alcotax. B)

    Where To Get Cheap Or Free Polystyrene?

    If there is a reverse garbage place anywhere nearby, they normally have a few shelves full of the stuff, and you seem to be able to take it all and more they might ask for up to a whole dollar on your way out.

    When To Add Sugar To The Boil

    whenever. I think it's best to boil it separately in a little water and dump it in the fermenter when it's through the first lot of malt sugars. But that's because I only tend to add it to big beers, and too high of an OG to begin with I think isn't great for yeast, it certainly helps with...

    Gas Ring Size

    Whoever recommended an HP reg for the mogolian is insane, those things are crazy on a reagular low pressure reg. Definitely don't need to dish out for a high pressure reg. That said, if you go a different route and need a HP reg, I went through two of the rambo supplied regs, they have a cast...

    How Long Can You Keep A Half Empty Keg?

    ive kept half kegs for much longer than 5 weeks and they only normally improve. In two cases they were left for 2 years plus a bit (warm, not in the fridge - a Rye IIPA and a robust porter), and they were much better than they originally were! Sounds like you may have picked up an infection or...
