Jim's Beer Kit

Take it out....the Inner Diameter of thin tube inside the keg would be to small to work with the pull of a beer engine.
Just attach a length of suitable size hose from the tap(put a jubilee around it) to the demand valve and then to the beer engine!

Looks like some piece of equipment from a task in a Saw movie ......I want to chill some wort....make a choice... cool or die!!

It its likely being caused by the U shape you have in the copper arrangement.Are the fittings air tight? if the fittings are pushed together they will let air in which will stop the flow through the pipework. If your filter works well for 3 gallons,struggles for the 4th and then stops at the 5th the...

Soda crystals in hot water work really well.It will take the labels from most bottles, and is also very good for cleaning brewing equipment!

Sounds like the poppets arnt sealing properly.Try pouring a kettle full of boiling water into the keg,seal it up and invert it for 5 mins.....I find that it softens the plastic on the poppet and helps it to reseat itself!!

Wonder what the evaporation rate is at 300oC

They are invaluable if you want to bottle large amounts,there are another 3 levels if needed...holds 88 bottles in all.
However the base doesnt rotate

Bite the bullet bigdave and get the bigger boiler,explain to mrs bigdave that with the smaller boiler you might run the risk of a boil over(messy) also you will save money!!if you purchased the smaller boiler, you might find you soon want to upgrade, which would cost even more

After looking at that hassle....when I do get round to buying an ATC-800....I am going to pay the extra to have the wired version

The charcoal comes from the socks that the washing machine steals from you,the WM gives them to the oven to get rid of the evidence

When you pour the first glass from the corni, it will contain sediment, so the small amount of beer left in the line gets chucked out with the sediment.

You can add extra pressure on the lid seal by placing thin shims under the legs when closing.If you are adding priming sugars to carbonate the beer then you dont want to find that the keg hasnt sealed properly. Given the choice I would always give the corni 20-30 psi after racking to ensure that you...

Try using a brand new heavy duty plastic dustbin for storing my grain,they are ideal,a 25 kg sack fits in just right with space above for smaller bags of other grain.Mine is kept in the garage so is remains cool and dry.

Dont thank me,I only purchased it from Scooby

Does anyone know if pubs normally keep the beer in the lines day in and day out until the cask is empty? I would think that would cause the lines to get dirty very quickly. I serve homebrewed ale via handpump at home and I disconnect the lines from the cask after each night, pump through water, the...
