Hi guys, Read this thread and was amused by the "hobby that saves you money" Got me thinking. Yes in a way you do save money if you look at it merely as cost per pint. For example, a 5 UK gallon brew of a 4.5%abv beer costs around 38p per pint or just over £15 for 5 gallons, using the cost of...

Hi guys, Just to add my tuppence worth on the hydrometer comments. There are tables/tools online that lets you adjust your hydrometer reading for temperature. I'm sure you guys have come across them. I'm also surprised no one has mentioned the use of a refractometer. I've been using one for...

Hi Mack, The test tube ideas was more to do with storage space in my fridge than anything else. I'll probably just source small jars and do it as suggested. regards Dave

Hi guys. Just a quick noobie question...... I've been brewing beer and wine for quite a few years, but never tried yeast washing/harvesting. Closest I've got, is to syphon off the fermented beer and use the yeast/trub left in the fermenter straight into a new brew. That worked fine, but I'm...

Hi Itp, Is this a corny keg or a plastic keg? If a corny keg I agree with MHB. And as you said yourself, a simple test with water will give the same "burble" if the outlet tube has a leak. If it is a plastic King Keg type then the float may have turned turtle and outlet isn't submerged in the...

Hi Guys, New member here. I know this is an older thread, but fingers crossed I get a reply. Stumbled across this via a Google search. Anyway on to my point, could this PID be easily used to control fermentation temperature? Would a couple of PC fans drawing in colder air from outside the...
