Ouch!
It's deep clean time. Many years ago one of the most experienced home brewers in the Bristol club had repeated infected batches. Deep clean eventually fixed it, no culprit identified.

Re: What's the point ?
I'd try it. Over time these things improve. I remember the first veggie-burgers then last year I had a beyond burger - very impressed. I have Sentia on my to-try list, a non-alcoholic spirit. One of the founders is Prof David Nutt who got sacked from his government job mainly due to harm caused by d...

Re: Beer Engine gone wonky
Looks perfect oz11. Very strange. A mate of mine is a whizz with IT. Perhaps I'll invite him round to have a look--in exchange for a few beers, of course! What resolution is your screen? I have 3840x2400 OLED laptop and 99% of stuff displays perfectly with the window scaling I have set though a cou...

Re: Fridges and freezers that fit two cornys
About five years ago I was given an old Hotpoint First Edition fridge. I removed the temperature control housing as my STC1000 would do that job - easy. I hacked out part of the shelf supports and part of the bottom door frame to give more space - easy. The cooling plate went from the front, along t...

Re: Saving yeast
You will never need to buy the same yeast again. Certainly for ten years True, but where that fit on my "effort" scale? These days I'm using Crossmyloof dried yeast 90p/pack delivered if you buy ten - chuck it in! I sometimes step up the free yeast from a bottle of Proper Job or similar I've got so...

Re: "No-Chill" Cubes
Just jumping in on this discussion because I'm considering no chill just to be more green. I'm BIAB and usually no-chill but if I use my immersion chiller, it's with reverse osmosis water I filter myself. Getting say 35 ltr or RO will produce around 120 ltr "waste" water. I collect this, then use i...

Re: New container
60 ltr bucket for £25. I made my boiler from one of these, about £20 15 years ago ISTR.

Re: Help me lighten my mash tun
One lifting point I have is holding my BIAB over the boiler to drain after the mash. I have a hook screwed into a carport rafter and use a £12 pulley to raise the bag above the boiler and hold it there. The other lifting point on a brew day is getting the wort into my fermenting fridge which is on a...

Re: BeerEngine
Koofr is one of my backup options. 10GB free. It can run in the background. Anything you delete can be recovered from trash up to 30 days later. File versioning is a nice feature (e.g. if you accidentally cut from a file then saved it).

Re: starting all grain brewing
These days I'd seriously consider an All-in-one like the Brewzilla or Grainfather. I learnt BIAB in 2008 from this info . I bought a 60 ltr bucket and immersion chiller from a homebrew shop then added a couple of kettle elements and used a net curtain and bungees to hold the grain. Couldn't be much...

Re: bottles
My brews go into a collection of 24 Grolsch swing-tops and the rest into fresh 2 ltr PET bottles. I've never changed the seals on the Grolsch they all seem fine, and a few of the bottles are years old.
Maybe I'll ask Santa for a bottle capper just for fun.
