Jim's Beer Kit

Search for mango chutney barrel and you'll fine loads of stuff. I'd type more but battery on phone about to go!

Fell on my arse in the garden earlier f00b4r neighbour had to pick me up! However I am sure I will be recovered the day after you bottle all the beer

I can't drink at the moment but probably can in April all being well so sometime then would be good for me.

But Monday's are a good day for me as well.

Chap at the split chimp says he'll reserve the upstairs for us as long as it's not Friday or Saturday. Cheap , next to the station, 3 cask beers and loads of bottles what do people think?

Bodega is very good also a great venue. Beers were excellent when I was last in there. Brandling would definitely have the space and they do a lovely burger in there as well:) Think it depends on those coming from further afar but looking good for this happening

No idea I've never made it to one, normally in Sunderland and it's a pain from Morpeth. F00b4r and I had a few beers in the split chimp and others a months or so back and talked home brew, it was fun and we brewed 8 beers together since. Friday nights aren't so good for me prefer Saturday but that s...

Split chimp very good venue I'm up for it and close to the station for the Sunderland chaps. Good car park in the Stephenson quarter right next to it if anyone is driving. Reckon the chap in the split chimp might reserve the top for us if we ask.

Nope f00b4r and I brewed it early last week but not uploaded details yet. Tasted lovely from the sample jar! We brewed the esb as well. Details to follow, it's late as I'm under the weather, not even allowed to drink beer at the moment

Nice bit of work, looking forward to seeing how you get on with this. Tempted to do something like this myself

It'll last for ages stock up now

Well said f00b4r my answer was a little brief;) having brewed using the peco just the other day I can also add that it's 1cm per litre measuring down from the top on my peco. This might be helpful, measurement from the top:

20l 14.4cm
22l 12.4cm
24l 10.4cm
26l 8.4cm
28l 6.4cm

Drop off is no problem if this happens

It's an even taper so you can measure the diameter half way up and use that and the height and you should be good.

If kept dry it should last for ages probably why it has no date on the tub. If this gets off the ground I was planning to ask Jocky if I can pick this up as I travel around so easy for me. I'm in Morpeth so could pick yours up and drop it off for you saving on the postage, NE20 is around Ponteland I...

Thanks, still going strong! Chiller just about to be fired up on the Sarah Hughes Mild.

No beer has been drunk yet but we are ready for one.
