No final rinse. According to EU law, after using a sanitiser a final rinse is always required (for the pros). Regarding yeasts, yes, StarSan works well for yeast washing. If you ever get a chance to read the original Modernist Cuisine set it is a real eye opener to see how food safety laws around t...

Yes, but that comes with its own issues of proper storage etc. Not a problem for some that I know who use it but there are some less careful.

Ron just announced on his blog that he will be giving a Mild webinar at 10pm CET (9pm GMT) on the 30th September: “Mild webinar Next Monday (30th September) at 10 PM Dutch time (4 PM Eastern US time) I'll be giving a webinar on Mild Ale. https://www.crowdcast.io/e/ron_pattinson_vintage_english_mild/...

Did you try cooking with them?

That's literally perfect! Exactly what I'm looking for. I'll be ordering a few from there now. Thank you so much for this. Much appreciated [emoji1] Take a look at the prices on 100m of beer line rolls whilst you are there, if you are already paying postage then it is very cheap and means you can j...

Not with that setup. Get a squeeze tattoo bottle or similar and clean the spout with sanitiser after each use, hopefully that will help. There are others on here who have used those taps before though that might be able to give you a better idea.

I went ahead and ordered this one... https://www.darkfarm.co.uk/product/5l-mini-keg-and-flow-tap/# It’s the same seller as the eBay link above, but on their own website they had the 5L keg on sale in a weekly special offer thing. And with a flow control tap too, for £115 with free delivery [emoji10...

I quite fancy a mini keg as well, and have been looking at the GrowlerWerks one for some time. My brews are all one or two gallons at a time so a mini keg would be ideal for me. The price point of the GrowlerWerks really puts me off though, plus the prospect of having to import spare parts of anyth...

A bit OT, but what is the build quality of the 6l ones? The handle bar weld looks flimsy in the images, but is it? Looking at them for yeast slurry storage and put them on a gas flame to boil "sterile" (will not be pressurised). What's a UK price for a corny? When I hop over the border here to Germ...

Mini-kegs! 2L, 5L, 10L. They are probably a better option than Corny kegs these days. e.g. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Growler-Stainless-Homebrew-Portable-Supplies/dp/B07MBG8S1R/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=mini-keg&qid=1568195489&s=gateway&sr=8-4 Why do you think that? Second-hand Cornies are getting thinner ...

Why do you think that?

Polypins are another option for some beer styles and the stuff brewed nearer Xmas.

If you mean the one that is originally the Amarillo single hope beer then it's is:

4.7kg pale malt
235g carapils
40 IBU's using 191g of 5% Amarillo.

I'm confused as to why you are seeing this again unless you have been really unlucky and for a second lemon. Do you have cooling cools in the fv or similar? Yes. Pumped from a bucket of cold water to start, then fed from a shelf cooler's python lines when Summer decided to hot up. I'm wondering if ...

Have you used them at all and if so how did you find them compared to "real" fruit?
