The SS ones are sooo shiny:D

I'm English.....here's my take on this "debate". There are 2 types of beer....those you like to drink....and those you dont.:tank: I also think that drinkers from countries like America and Australia tend to like their beers with a high level of carbonation(something you will not get with...

Run to a safe distance then record the moment it blows and then post it so we can all learn from your mistake:rockin::rockin: Only joking(would like to see it though:D ),do as the others say,i got really pee'd of with changing the airlock every 10 minutes because it was clogging up!!!

Its just gas rising to the top and grouping together:p RDWHAHB

Does or has anyone used this style of boiler before http://www.leylandhomebrew.com/item586.htm and do they work ok?

Sadly this year i cannot attend:( .,but you will have a great time.So many beers and so little time:tank: ..Make sure you sample some beers from Badger Brewery! I tend to stick to smaller beer festivals now(oxford beer festival is always a cracking event).Lots of pubs that are local-ish to me...

When you get the chance change from the small co2 bulbs and get a Hamleton Bard S30 gas canister then you can put in extra co2 when it is needed.You can carbonate your beer with the co2 also.Just make sure that the o ring is covered with vaseline(dont worry about putting on to much).Just fill...

In a few more weeks they will be superb!!. I made a brew that tasted a lot like a beer called Hobgoblin and at one week there was little carbonation,after a month they were outstanding!! Give your brew a little more time and then report back and let us know how it is?

Gotta tell my wife that there is a few more items i need to make my brewing equipment complete:D:D I just feel that bottling night will be a long shift:drunk: :drunk:

The pressure relief valve will start blowing at about 10psi.I tried fitting a gauge to one of my lids,but i couldnt get a good seal and the co2 slowly leaked out.If you want to know if the barrel is leaking then seal the lid on(use vaseline on the rubber o ring in the lid)put a little co2 in the...

Enough talk about Bud and football.IMHO they deserve each other,as they are both a watered down,pissy imitation of a beer and sport.Thank god that Rugby Union attracts neither. As the Wychwood brewery advertizing states"scared of the dark lager boy":p Yours faithfully An ale and rugby...

With the amount of 'Ale' i drink then i am sure i am safe from cancer;) ,but now my clothes are getting to small:o . What should i do...die of cancer or liver failure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Never mind...pour a beer and schkin up:rockin: In England hoppy beer rules:mug: !!!!!!!!!!

You could always syphon a little of the 'sludge' from the bottom of the secondary if you feel the need.That should give you enough for carbonation!:tank:

Could i rack a brew that has been a primary for a week straight onto the small amount of sediment left in my carboy(i put the airlock back on just in case!!!!). Cheers for your help caplan!I have just finished kegging!!!

Just about to start now!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes it had a very active fermentation after about 18 hours(this is the first brew where i have done a full 60min boil) and it went crazy,i have never had that much krausen before and had to keep changing the airlock....must get a blow-off tube;) . Volume wise i had just over 5 UK...

I was getting ready to keg a brew from the secondary,when i got the chance to try out my new toy:ban: a hydrometer. So being keen i just took a sample with my other new toy:ban: a turkey baster!. The reading was 10.19 and i am unsure what to think of this as i did not have the hydrometer when...

dont get caught staring at the airlock after smoking a nice joint and sinking a few homebrews after a hard day brewing:D :D :D ....................again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I kegged 5g of Woodfordes Great Eastern Ale with 1/2oz of bramling cross(in a modified hop sock;)),then pulled them out after 5 days to stop it getting to grassy. Beer turned out great,a real light colour and the hop aroma was a delight to the nose.With the Bramling Cross you get a subtle...
