Hi All
I can vouch for Eric's beers having sampled quite a few andd have to say Ive never had any chalky beers. In fact Eric brews exceptional beers in my opinion and has a wealth of knowledge covering every aspect of brewing.

Ditto.

Welcome to JBK Mihai!

Hi Paul, good luck with getting everyone to send you free beer. I must try that sometime.

I'm moving this to the videos forum as it doesn't really belong here though.

Looks OK. In stock at the MM as well - https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product ... ser-500ml/ . Panic over.

If true, that's a real shame. It's good stuff.

What's the alternative they're recommending?

Thanks for the responses. Have decided to sack this idea off, bin all the stuff and look out for a cheap second hand boiler. I reckon that's probably the best idea. I used a Electrim plastic boiler for years, but I never felt as if it was really safe when it was boiling. Stainless steel is so much ...

As said above, very important electrical connections are well protected in brewing gear - there tends to be a lot of liquid splashing about.

Those hops look gorgeous.

Perfect brewdays are rare, but they do happen (I'm told).

I seem to recall David Line described a method involving a hair dryer and a tea chest. Apparently it didn't work too well though.

Knowledge is better than speculation. Ask your water company. I asked the Drinking Water Inspectorate in 2015 and got this answer: chloramines I have a £35 RO filter system for brewing. I live in a very hard water area. I must have missed that post first time round. It shows my water company (North...

I have dumped half a barrel of beer. :-( I have put the barrel pressured into a tub of water and can see no bubbles. I have the new type taps and see that the tap should not be turned fully off but left at a 3 o'clock position. Anyone else do that? I have filled the barrel with water and pressured ...

I've had a barrel leak from the welded seam. It was below the tap so easy to see (because beer was leaking out), but if it had been near the top I'd probably have spent ages mucking about with o-rings and valve seals before I found the real problem, so as Guy says, get the soapy water and brush out ...
