Jim's Beer Kit

I love my Braumeister but they do come in significantly cheaper alternatives as well, you can find something to suit most budgets and at the end of the day they only really make wort, not beer.

That’s good info Tony. Have you tried contacting the seller about it, he seems pretty responsive.

If the yeast is very low viability it might throw some off flavours but maybe not too noticeable. For the effort put in and the price of a dry pack you might as well try the dry yeast, the major issue is more likely the fact that any bacteria present will have had time to start multiplying. Check th...

Welcome and good luck with finishing that project, I think we all have one of those hanging around in the garage.

Welcome to the forum. You will find a wealth of information here but don’t be afraid to ask any questions either.

A) It depends on the beer, e.g. a really hoppy beer will deteriorate relatively quickly just as it would in bottles, although with kegs it is much easier to reduce oxygen on the cold side so it should fare better than in bottles. For less sensitive beers you are likely to get just as long in the keg...

Welcome back. There are lots of new shiny new toys but it sounds like you have a pretty good setup already.

That sounds really good! How long do you live ...

This year they have changed the silicone hose that was being supplied with the Fermentasaurus floating dip tube to something a little thicker, athough I am not sure if the inside diameter has changed too. This tubing does work better and is much easier to put on than the originally supplied one. Keg...

What are you using to calculate your OG?

Goose Island is a brewery, do you know which particular beer it was?

Actually we are fairly lucky regarding home alcohol production in the U.K.- I think you have to get a licence, or register, to make more than about 200 litres of beer per annum in Germany of all places! Why, in the name of (choose your deity) would you be arsed to homebrew in Germany? My lads were ...
