Jim's Beer Kit

Chris Rogers at brewinabag.uk Best quality bag I ever bought, he does several sizes for all pots and the one I got was specifically for a 40 litre Buffalo Boiler. Well worth the money.

Like I said in my first post, one brewer tried a fridge magnet and it would not stick but the pot still boiled but others say they dont.

Yes....I have 2 50 litre Bergland pots but I am thinking of getting 2 Buffalo Hobs, didnt really want to get rid of my pots though.

I know this question has been asked before but al I can find is conflicting reports on wether the 50 litre Bergland pots will work on the 3kw Buffalo Induction Hob CE208.

It was more the age of the starsan rather than its source.

Ah !! point taken, my Star San Bottle is around 1 year to 18 months old and I recently stuck 7.5ml in a 5 Litre Bottle of Ashbeck and its fine.

Interestingly I've been having the same problem with starsan turning cloudy in ashbeck water within a few hours. Three days ago I decided to try the malt millers version of starsan I bought as a replacement for my 3 year old original version which is running out. It's still crystal clear. I hate to...

That is correct, the product is hot bottled.

Does that confirm it, or not.

In the interest of helping others who wished to culture Old Rosie yeast I decided to contact Kate at Westons Brewery to ask if infact if Old Rosie was bottle conditioned and was there any form of live yeast left in the bottles or was it all pasteurised and infact dead yeast to achieve the cloudy asp...
