Jim's Beer Kit

Is the problem with the same keg or both? There's a slim chance your beer out dip tube may have a pin hole in it. I had one when I first got my kegs, one keg would pour fine but the other was at least half a glass of foam. Eventually found a small hole just below beer level so it was drawing co2 fro...

Seems a strange beast that Kveik, must do some proper reading on it sometime

Finally started drinking this. It's actually quite drinkable. Is it as good as the £32-£35 kits I usually do? No but I certainly won't be pouring it down the drain like I did with the carafe 21. This is quite fruity but I can't pin down the actual flavour. To me it seems a bit one dimensional but wh...

Your fermenter dimensions are (taken from the link you provided). "Height excluding airlock is 52cms Diameter is 34cms. Airlocks will add about 18ml depending on the types." So as the dimensions of the fastferment jacket are (taken from the description on the brewuk website). "diameter 52 cm, height...

The original fastferment jacket I was looking at was £36 delivered. Not from Brouland I might add but it was a good picture of it

Cheers Tom

I’d probably buy an aquarium chiller instead. They’re £250 and need a small pond pump, fluid reservoir and obviously the cooling coil for the fermenter, but they’re about as compact as it gets for a powerful cooling solution. Just a smidge outside my budget of as cheap as possible. I realise to coo...

Just had a quick read about the peltier fan things (or whatever their actually called), looks interesting. From what I read they sound ideal for a home build. If they're that good though, how come more products of a similar nature to the ferminator aren't available? Or have I missed something? I wil...

If space but not cash is the issue then a Ferminator is also a possible (expensive) option. It is like having a fridge you can shove away in your loft though, it can even be turned into a kegerator when needed. https://www.geterbrewed.com/ferminator-basic/ Not even got the space for one of them eve...
