Jim's Beer Kit

I have an rg550 pump that has these specs http://www.stuart-turner.co.uk/media/114746-Performance-RG550-2.pdf . And that doesn't run my cip ball , neither does my march may 815. I have a makita submersible pump doing the business atm , but this is far from hygenic, but it does get dried crud off cor...

I have one of these:

Although I only actually use it to control my HLT and don't recirculate at all at the moment.

Hi thanks for the replies, ideally i want as little as possible metalwork wise, i have straight nipples, but its just another thing to keep clean. Thanks for the link, I have one of them on order from aliexpress, i was hoping to find a 3 piece one if possible ? The coil is probably going to be a pro...

As the title really, I'm looking for a tap with a male thread on the tank side to fit into a female bulkhead i have for my new 120l electric boiler. Also Im looking at solutions to install a cooling coil through the lid of a 100l insulated thermos pot I've just bought so i can use it as a fermenter....

what did you go for?

i have a pump similar to the angel and malt liller , I also have 2 march may's , if i was in the market for a new pump it would be the blichmman riptide , for sheer ease of cleaning, it is however £190 so a bit out of your budget . in fact im going to order 2 conversion kits for my march's.

kit wise , I suppose a coopers euro lager will be a decent starting point , otherwise just get some lme as you won't be using kit yeast. Yeast wise fermentis w34/70 is my go to yeast , very clean tasting and reliable if your patient. the rest of your plan seems sound. I ferment at 12c.

I'll look into cask coolers now, I have seen what i'm looking for before but forgot the name. I've also seen for the heating side a kind of thermowell sl...

I'm looking for a cooling coil to fit a fermenter less than 4" in diameter / width . Similar to this by anvil brewing, I can't find a place that ships to the uk

I second the brewbuilder high end mash tun, its an impressive piece of equipment.

get a water spray bottle and put some washing up liquid and water in it , spray the bejeesus out of the whole thing and you should find the leak.

I have done in the past, i have 2 custom 10" water filters made out of stainless steel. i used 20 micron and 5 micron filters in them (disposable) , i used to kick the sediment up by accident in my previous brewing area due to lack of room and being inexperienced (impatient). There will be still som...
