Jim's Beer Kit

Awesome!

Nice to see Graham's calculator still getting used.

As this is a useful discussion, I've moved it to the RIMS and HERMS forum to avoid auto-deletion in the 'Introductions' forum.

Must take a look at that - sounds interesting.

Glad you got it sorted out. To post pictures, see this thread - viewtopic.php?f=23&t=65597#p730710

Welcome to the forum.

That's some serious kit your planning to build!

I hate to be pedantic (no I don't ) but the Greek character upsilon (Υ or υ) is pronounced 'i' as in Mick. In modern Greek at least; it only gets an 'oo' sound if preceded by 'o' .

I don't know if our own cider page put together by Jean-Yves is any help - https://www.jimsbeerkit.co.uk/cider_1.htm .

Obviously he's talking about apples that grow in France, but maybe there are British equivalents.

Sounds like it could be infected (though there are other sources of TCP flavour - see here: viewtopic.php?t=79678#p825354 ).

Did you make a starter first or just chuck the contents of the jar in?

That's fine Col. There was a problem with your link though, which appears to be related to the BB Code - I've fixed the link anyway.

That figure will include growing the hops and the barley I expect.

Do you have a plastic bottle? You can bottle it all normally and do one sample in the plastic bottle, then you can use that as an indicator of excessive carbonation and take appropriate action on the remaining bottles well before explosive conditions happen.

Well, I've never know Gervin/Nottingham to stall, though 12C is pretty low and if it spent much time below 15C it will have been going very slowly if at all (though it can allegedly work down to fairly low temps I've never tried it myself). Also the FG of 1.015 is higher than I've seen with Nottingh...

I went to university (75)

Jim,
You went to Uni when you were 75?

Pocket caclulators were about when he died, but probably not affordable or plentiful when he wrote much of his work. Do you still have a slide rule Jim? Threw a 6 inch and 2 @ 12 inch ones out when clearing out after retirement, but somewhere have a circular one that fits inside a top pocket. Can't...

Dave Line also managed to brew without brewing software.. Remarkabe man.

Remarkable indeed. Shame we lost him so young.

He did use a calculator. Would that count as brewing software?!!!!

Guy

I'm guessing slide rule.
