depends what kind of plastic, PET wont change the flavour but you run the risk of contamination from other plastics

I couldnt say for sure I'm afraid and yes it will, what you need to do is prime it, suspend it in a sugary warm solution and your yeast will multiply over a day or so, then pitch your starter

At a thought I would say that it is pretty cold in the shed, but if you have some old duvets or anything like that then wrap it up well after pitching your yeast to insulate it, it will def take longer then it will say on the packet for the brew to mature though as the cold temperature will slow...

Hey Revvy Thanks for that blitz. I always assumed that tannins was associated with physical trauma of the seeds so high temps or impact or ph, I didnt realize that you need ideal situations. Thanks I'm learning a lot from these forums in the few hours ive been here saint

its in the pot, but it wont touch the bottom, the liquid will heat up. What I dont understand is how it replaces the stirring

I associate summer with crisp and refreshing tastes...use rice as an adjuct? and as for honey I would add it as an adjunct at the end so you dont risk scoulding or anything like that, but keep it low so it is a very slight hint. I hate that sickly sweet taste of some very potent ales.

because I have an old styled keg from my neighbour without the blue keg tracker and the other that I have I got from the place I do my placement from, it used to belong to a franchise that went bust, I also have their gas cylinders...who says the recession is bad

because tannins are very bitter and undesirable, but unfortunatly its very easy to get them out.

hence why you depressurize by pressing on the black rubber. in fact since it is a sankey, here is the tutorial of how to do it step by step: (I know this is steel but the cap is the same)

where do you live so I can kidnap you, lock you in my shed and you can help me with my system. seriously though mate, very good finish perhaps you should do a tutorial? its a good set up mate. I'm doing an internship at a microbrewery and your set up doesnt look too different. Saint

I found one issue with dry hopping is that it doesnt impart too much flavour when I do it and you have to leave it to set for some time. Saint

you sir are one inventive brewer, teach me

I can see your point, the force might be a bit much, I could fit a resistor to the circuit or use lower temps?

if you want to keg your looking at 100 quid mate, so plastic bottles is your easy start at the begining

ok some points mate. cheap sure, go to wilkinsons get yourself a brew kit, you get your yeast your bin and your kit no bother it costs about 20 quid. use 2 litre pet bottles, get some tesco value lemonade and your away. since your in the scotch part of britain brew yourself some lager...

you sir. are a hero, I'm setting up my first 4 keg system. how much were your suckers how much was your whole set up and how is that thing only 10 gallons?

I personally would put the tube through the top and then put the tap on a tube, the side is thick and insulated and the door is also thick and will get in the way. It's your choice but personally I think the through the top looks pretty dapper.

hey, what is happening is a process called oxidation, dead yeast on the surface is being oxidised and becoming discoloured, usually yeast can keep for awhile, which I have recently learnt, dont worry about the discolouration, however over time the viability of your yeast will drop, keep your...

Hey guys I feel like I'm becoming prolific in this forum. I have had a thought, I used to hand wash my clothes so I have a centrifuge which is basically a seive that spins at high speeds and pulls the water out of the clothes. I'm thinking of mashing in the centrifuge and then at the end...

brilliant tip mate, I literally buy my yeast use it once and then get rid of it, this might save me a fair few bobbins. Cheers mate
