Jim's Beer Kit

Probably been bought as a complete lot by a homebrew company. Might see a load of ‘reconditioned’ fermenters for sale soon

Don’t forget two vessel systems [emoji51]

Ordered a couple hundred of the B64 cans that Brewkegtap sell with the machine- more expensive but when you factor in the deal and free shipping it made sense.

At some stage I’ll look into buying some cheaper cans, maybe in bulk

Well my machine was just as painful to set up as Barneey’s I’m afraid. But I got there in the end. Whilst I had the cover off I took the liberty to remove the rollers and oil the bearings. Also applied some copper grease to the threads in the hope that for future adjustments it makes it easier (one ...

Hopefully they will be priced competitively. I’d rather use Rob to be honest

I’m looking at buying one in the new year. Great video. I’m leaning towards the Angel homebrew machine as they’ve modified it to take the more readily available cheaper cans- that does add on another £100+ though sadly
