I am unable to say how your Hefeweizen will taste after applying this method, but for English style bitters you get a much "creamier" taste when the carbonation is reduced to these levels. The trade calls this level of carbonation "1 volume per volume" and it happens naturally if a...

I have been brewing now for a couple of years, making English style bitter, because that is what I like best. The point of this post is that the single biggest discovery I have made to improve the drinking pleasure from my beers and also bought bottled beers is SERVING TEMPERATURE, followed by...

Hey Bsquared, I have a pipette question you may be able to answer. Do you suck up to a bigger graduation than you need and then drain down to a lower graduation that gives you the quantity you want, or do you suck up to the graduation you need and squirt out to empty? I hope that made sense...

Fullers "Golden Pride" Anyone who does not drink his beer in moderation is not going to get to read this anyway......

Please all try to find Fullers ESB. (Fullers brewery, Chiswick, London, England.) In the L.A. and surrounding area it can be had from BevMo in 500cc bottles at cheaper prices than it is sold for in London. (How the hell do they do that?) May I respectfully suggest you arm yourself with at...

It is possible to use even better wire if you go to the silver plated PTFE insulated stuff, but it sells at ten times the price of standard wire though. It is so bullet proof that if it sees an overload situation that takes the copper wire to "red hot" but does not actually "blow" the wire, the...

There are commercial pumps that run the tube that way, but as the silicone tube is the part that sees the wear and is eventually going to need replacing I see no need to stress it out any more than needs be. I am hoping the tube last a fair time, say six months, but have no idea until I start...

Here is the Mk3 pump fresh off the assembly line!!!

I am now at the stage where I have 3pumps to the Mk3 design which can be seen here. It flows about 10 litres per minute. All discussion on this has now moved to the thread home made perishable pumps

Jaxon: I have just completed the first pump to the Mk3 design. I am well pleased with it so far. It primes several feet (higher tests to come) even at stupidly slow revs like 1 rpm and it is really easy to turn because it is engineered correctly unlike the previous versions. I was waiting...

Bloody long memory you Bostonians:)

Here in the UK, if I make home brew cider I can make up to 70 hectolitres (1539 imperial gallons or 1846 US gallons) per year, and sell it to whoever I like, without any liability for exise duty whatsoever. I might have to tell them, and pass food hygiene laws, but what the heck...... If I make...

Hi, If you are still alive after all this time, ...yes, I think that will work, but with reduced ability to suck water up from out of a vessel and probably more wear on the tube. I am starting to make 3 new pumps to the mk 3 design... will post it up sometime soon.

Engineer #8 is soooooooo like our electrician at work..... Understanding Engineers #1 Two engineering students were biking across a university campus when one said, "Where did you get such a great bike?" The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday, minding my own...

Just make one to suit your equipment! If you go for interwoven coils like I did you can use any even number of coils, half of them wound left handed and half right handed. The coils can be any size you want. Scale it down and practice with brake pipe, then when you are happy, make a full size...

Why not stick with the ESB :) I don't suppose you have a decent water profile for ESB do you? I am going to use all the ESB info that John Keeling of Fullers put out on brewradio broadcasts, but I can't get a definitive target water, this side of "Burtonised" I was thinking of emailing him...

What do you get if you make a three burner kerosene blowtorch and aim it at a stainless steel coil full of water, put it in a boat, tie it up to a pole in the middle of a pond, and set light to it?.....A 15,000 RPM 120 MPH world record, that's what! Turn the sound up, and the 5th lap is...

OK! I've had it with this....Now that copper has a scrap value of £3,000 plus a ton we really should be looking after it. Here is how to bend coils... https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/massive-diy-wort-cooler-96ft-long-145690/index7.html

I think the A and B curves you speak of on the circuit breakers are to do with the types of load they will be seeing, ie inductive or not. Some loads present a large surge current on initial start up and can trip the normal (fast) style breaker, (I had a small lathe that did this) so you fit the...

Wasn't trying to preach as such, but by the end of our stint we would have considered sacrificing live things on an altar to get a warm beer!!! Try as we did, we couldn't find a warm beer anywhere in LA, even in a Brewpub!!!!! They already thought I was mad getting my pints poured up an hour...
