Jim's Beer Kit

Forgive me if I've missed something but can't you just swap the valve out with the one from your old barrel?

There's always https://www.lakeland.co.uk/61493/nielsen-massey-food-flavour-60ml-orange-extract . It's simply orange oil in an ethanol base with water. It's mentioned briefly in the above linked thread but I'm sure it has its own somewhere. Link to the label below.... https://www.lakeland.co.uk/cont...

Will report back in a few weeks. I hope this stuff is idiot proof and my wort into the fermenter is the clearest I've ever had

Hey @guypettigrew

Have you had the chance to try it for yourself yet? I've just bought a pot and will give it a go myself in a few weeks.
It's always good to get the views of a first time user

Cheers Tom

Finally stopped humming and harring and bought one. It's not often I treat myself so what the hey 😎 Cheers Tom Best laid plans and all that....... A couple of days after I placed my order I was told it was no longer in stock (how was I able to place the order if it was out of stock?) but they will ...

Ah, right. Must have read the thread when I was half asleep and thought there was something there that wasn't.

After due consideration I think I'll have to try this stuff at least once. If the resulting beer turns out well enough I might continue to use it. Then again if it doesn't affect the flavour then why bother if the only benefit is a (hopefully) clearer beer? Hmmmmmm 🤔 Cheers Tom If you do try it mak...

The question is do you filter? I don't want any pvpp in anything I drink.

Added a couple of links to my previous post.

Tom, give them a once over before you proceed.

No, I don't filter. Will have a proper read of the linked article presently

Cheers Tom

I get that it's a mix of carrageenan and pvpp but don't fancy mixing it myself. If shop bought works then maybe. Was hoping that other purchasing options might be available

Cheers Tom

Hi all

I'm curious about this stuff and fancy giving it a go, so......
Is the Malt Miller the only place that sells it in "home brew" amounts?

Cheers Tom

Bottles are the work of the Devil

Almost 2 years later, just buying the hops to re-brew this. This is a cracking summer brew, highly recommended!

How much of the Nielsen-Massey extract do you add per 23 litre brew?

Cheers Tom

The sight of all those bottles reminded me that I'm glad I switched to cornys

Cheers Tom
