Not as bad as that, only forgetting to make sure the tap is turned off on the carboy before filling it. Inside on the kitchen floor, at least I don't have a wife to nag me :D . Now it is check twice to be sure to be sure.

Hi fellow brewers I remember some time ago someone showing or telling how to pull apart the plastic taps but I cant seem to find the thread. I have a few taps but one is of the clear type and looks as though it has a bit of crud around the inside near where the two pices lock together. How...

I assume it is not a freestamding stove. The wok burner in the middle sounds a good idea, I do mine on a four burner with a wok on the front l/h side of the stove but mine is a laminated benchtop. Without not seeing the split, can the top be pulled off, glue forced down the crack and clamped...

Hi guys, Need some help while my wort is cooling down. I have just put down a Australian Bitter with a tin of light malt extract. In the instructions it says Requirements: Coopers wort concentrate, yeast sachet and Coopers light malt extract. ( other fermentable sugars may be used) It then...

Thanks guys for the input, It was just a querie as I had not come across it before and I don't think it mentions it on the cans.

Hi, Just a thought , if you were worrying about bottles exploding etc, why dont you put it in PET bottles, not the same as good things come in glass, but might be safer and you can get them back a xmas time. BB
