Jim's Beer Kit

Hey folks, was hoping I could see some people's setups to get an idea of different freezers internal dimensions as I'm looking to get back into having beer on tap and also to have some smaller cornies for dispensing soda water. Does anyone do something similar? The Dream™ is to have two kegs of beer...

That's a nifty one Fil, I'd love to see a detailed build of that. I might do a month of just using my thermometers and spend next months pocket money on a second SSR and other bits. Would have bought them now but a handy fridge came up on Gumtree which I'm hoping will be come part of a tasteful Seek...

Short answer, you don't. Im going to have one PID controlled for mash temp and one I can just plug in to boost me up to boiling super fast.

Took the plunge and ordered some elements (Backer 2.75kW ones) as well as a SESTOS PID, 25A SSR and PT100 probe. I'll grab a junction box from B&Q and under the watchful eye of my father, attempt to build this life-threatening device. Any idea what size hole the Backer elements take? The picture imp...

Thanks for the replies, big thanks Fil for the info about the SESTOS PID, mostly because it's available here, on Amazon Prime rather than paying the cost of the device itself to have it shipped from the US.Reviews are interestingly mixed on it, either glowing or raging but for less than £20, I'll ta...

Hey folks, hoping for some advice on parts and similar for an eBIAB build. So first of all, I have a 70L 45cm/18" diameter stockpot with a 2 piece tap that I BIAB on with an ancient gas ring. At the weekend I did a batch and it took the better part of 2 hours to reach mash temperature and a further ...

Just an update, grabbed a large adjustable spanner from work and tightened it another quarter turn I couldn't manage with my hands. Everything is now airtight and wonderful. Such a nice piece of kit. Can't wait to mount it all properly and get it nice looking. And on the 5th day, there was carbonati...

Lo folks. Got me one of Norm's rather swish gas management boards and a legitimate CO2 bottle from a reputable vendor and a brew just about ready to be put into the keg. However, when screwed in as tight as I can manage the high pressure hose leaks at the regulator end (i.e. around the hose/regulato...

Haha, no, I look like a respectable young man. Strange thing to be paranoid about when they can't actually be prosecuted for it. It'd be like worrying about their propane cylinders being used in arson. Glasgow is a a bit far out of my way at the moment given my lack of personal transport, though tha...

Hey folks, I've recently acquired myself a rather nice Corny keg and want to start using it as soon as I can (of course!) but I'm having real trouble sourcing a CO2 cylinder anywhere near me. I'm in Fife if that helps but if someone knows of a place in the Highlands that's fine too as I've got famil...
