Jim's Beer Kit

It's a large version of a Ken Shales Rinsemaster. It's in his book Brewing Better Beers. He wrote the book over 40 years ago.

Your figures are not correct.

Try this formula
1061 minus 1008 =53 ÷ 7.36 = 7.2% (Wilf Newsom)

Or this one
1.061 minus 1.008 = 0.053 ÷ 0.0074 = 7.16% (Ken Shales)

Seems like a fair enough offer to me Take her up on it before she changes her mind

Prime it with a maximum of 2.5 g per litre of household white sugar seal the lid with a burst of gas and leave two weeks to carbonate. Invest a couple of quid in a short gas tube and a f...

Isn’t Dettol mould remover just bleach in a spray bottle?

IMO some brands/sellers trade on people's ignorance of this, so it is worth considering the strength wh...
