Re: sterilising the tap
The tap has stood the boiling water many times over. I wouldn't actually boil the tap though as it does soften slightly. I always allow it to cool after running the boiling water over it before operating it.

Re: sterilising the tap
I trickle boiling water over the tap just before I draw anything through which I am going to use. The tap is stripped and sanitised at the start of every brew. I identified a fermenter tap as the source of a repeat infection some years ago. It's the only part of my kit with "corners" for crap to lur...

Re: I'm Thinking of doing a kit!!!!!!!!!!
Finally I have got round to buying a kit. It was partly decided by what what in stock (Leyland Homebrew) It was a toss up between St Peters and Brupaks. There were quite a few new kits in stock which looked interesting but needed additional spray malt etc. To keep it as simple as possible, I went fo...

Re: Have I ruined this thru stupidity?
Should I have reprimed when I bottled the next day, it would have only been fermenting for a day so I'm hoping it should still be alright in the bottle. Phil After a day it will have used some of the sugar and produced CO2 which will have vented away. It may not be the same level of carbonation you...

Re: Have I ruined this thru stupidity?
If you were troubled by your "error"all you needed to do was let the priming sugar ferment out for about 4 days then rack to a fresh bucket and start again. I usually bottle before fermentation is complete, or if I let it ferment out I often do what you have done as an "error". I just stir the sugar...

Re: Wheat Beer fermenting slowly
Thanks for the suggestion lars, Now that you mention it substituted 500g dextrose for 500g light spray malt. Was told when I bought the kit this would only affect the flavour and not the fermentation? Have turned the belt off and will have to wait patiently I suppose! On the positive I tasted a sam...

Re: Working in a real ale pub...yeast out of barrell.
It will usually be fine be fine. A sample from a new barrel would be better. What you need to be sure of is that anything you get it from barrel to container must be sanitised to the highest standard. I have done it a few times, but I wouldn't trust anyone to tip it from the barrel if I gave them a ...

Re: Graham Wheeler Recipe - When to Add Sugar?
Logic suggests that as long as it is dissolved in the boil it should be fine...............it works for kit brewers with less fuss!

Re: Good advice for all AG brewers
Harry would be really miffed if I left his dinner festering in the mash tun. It's usually still warm when I serve it to him
