I like the fermenter. I am having 2 30 liter kegs built like this atm. having 2 50mm ferrules added to the side to be able to fit a thermowell and a sampling tap too. When fermenting will the gas coming off the fermenter fully fill the corney keg.

I decided to strip my grainfather pump to clean it as I had never done it since I had got the grainfather, however, I dropped the pump and broke 1 of the 4 impeller blades so was wondering if anyone here had a broken pump that I could get an impeller from

I am looking for suggestions for a yeast other than Belgium style for to brew a white style beer. Not a fan of the clove/banana that gives off. Recipe would be wit style with heavy wheat addition and orange zest, coriander and such.

I am planning a Maibock brew and was also planning to conditioning it for 4 months at 0.0C. My brewing experience tells me to ferment at 9C as I am not sure about what flavors you will end up with the higher temperature

What I am trying to understand about the large temperature range offered up when using this yeast is why do I choose one over the other. So I use this yeast at 9C and ferment slowly, or, use this yeast at 19C and put under 5 psi pressure. Am I going to have the same results or am I going to have 2 d...

My last runnings this time were PH 5.8 and the gravity was 1009. The PH of my wort going to boil was 5.5 and I added first wort hops and steep hop at 70C for 20 minutes. Thing is, my wort after boil was 5.9PH which means it rose instead of falling.

My wort comes in at 5.5PH. my final sparge runnings are 1009 gravity. when I compete the boil I find the PH to be 5.9. Only thing I attribute to this may be the late hop which I add at 70C for 2o minutes.

I use beersmith3 and in it you can set up water profiles to add salts to either the mash or split them between mash and sparge or mash and boil. I have done all of these. I also take plenty of notes on brewday and what I notice is that my PH numbers don't go as planned. I use RO water and although i...

Get togethers and it's portable too for events

I used copper pipe for mine. I also fitted garden hose connectors to the long stem part so I can disconnect it after for easy storage in its bucket with the pump.

I think I have covered all. The cask has a Peltier cooler and a non return valve and an aspirator with a soda stream bottle to add a co2 covering blanket.

My local club logo is on the bar top and the first beer up will be a retro of DEMPSEYS REAL ALE 1982

And after it's all done
