Looking at your s in the picture your elbow has a lip on the male threaded part mine doesnt These washers were from a shipping engineers so not cheap crap ebay job s not a lip, im no photographer, its the top end of the tapered thread thats bulked out with wrap of ptfe, the varying tolerances of th...

diy your own washers with ptfe tape and a suitable core cut nominally undersize.. then wrap with LOTS of ptfe through the eye overlapping the last wrap, smaller washers provide a problem when threading a roll of ptfe through the middle so i use a drinking straw on a dril driver bit to wind a length ...

yes but a 33l or 50l pot from a german ebay.fr seller could be cheaper than a uk sourced 19l pot.. (If yoyr looking at the wilko stock pot you may also need to reseal its handel rivits to maximise its usable volume. here is an email addy for a seller i have bought a number of pots from Catering-Port...

should be a nice brew, fwiw i think its a nice brew to use dme with too and perhaps? next time consider adding a TEASPOON(for a 5gallon batch) of chilli pepper for nice lil post sup kick ;) just dont add a tablespoonful as that is a bit too much. after making the same slip up the brew was only quafa...

copper is 40x 'better' than SS at heat exchange, or the metric that measures heat exchange is 40x greater for copper than it is for SS.. My SS cfc uses 6.5m of actively cooled 10.0.25mm ss tube in 14x 500mm lengths which is sufficient to chill a brew from post boil to pitching @ circa 3l p/minute. i...

fwiw i mixed nottingham and salsafe us-05 in a brew but the result wasnt any different to my taste

Good to hear its shipping and finally filling the back orders folk have been waiting patiently for, for the most part ;) One Q? can you use loose ingredients in old packaging or do you need to buy the specially packaged grains and hops in kit form? it sure looks like the ultimate single big red brew...

I wish, and definitely not if I buy one of those. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk hence the reference to the ispindle a diy version with more features which can be knocked up for a fraction of the cost, if not at all diy inclined then check out this thread http://www.jimsbeerkit.co.uk/forum/vi...

amazon, and any brewshop, our local is online stonehelm.co.uk or .com no connection other than grateful customer.. the copperkettle is another small seller i can recommend. they are sometimes sold as ox-bow bottles for some reason?

you should have a visual indicator of effectiveness after an hour or two if you direct the fan flow over the ice build up on your radiator. If the ice mass diminishes or disappears the cold that had previously built up in that area has been successfully moved elsewhere in the fridge ;) If this fails...

check out tasmota for fully featured esp firmware out of the 'bin' a compressor delay can be configured using the recent feature addition of 'Rules' and while mqtt and some sort of governing system is expected its got enough stand alone features to run in isolation too.

if your fridge can build up ice its working well enough. the air inside the fridge is the major medium of heat exchange between the fridges contents and the cold radiator. to maximise the heat exchange between a fridge and its contents MOVE THE AIR!! look at commercial and very top end domestic frid...

my own limited experiments with a maxi 310 used for serving using a basic dial thermometer inline in a short return line on the recirc lines revealed that the waterbath temp drops to -4C with an ice wall formed and the compressor cuts off after the initial setup and turn on. (Based on that i run min...

Self life of a pegas bottled beer is suggested at upto 3 weeks iirc*, so perhaps not a full batch solution. Great however when fitted with a pass thru tap since it gives you the opportunity to fill bright bottles on the fly when wanting to take a few pints further afield. what you want for the washe...
