I thought it wasn't bad either. Then I saw the same tray at another brewery supplier for £35, how do they do it!

They can be patience testers, & braid's more reliable.

I made a 25ltr keg a few years ago that had gone a bit wrong, not something I would have drank or given to friends. Had a painter and decorator in and he stopped me tipping it down the drain, he took it home chucked a bag of sugar in it and drank the lot

I used to make the Boots 40 pint kits as a kid. Sold a batch to two mates for 10p per Corona lemonade bottle full. We were all early teens. Went round and they were were sitting watching the footy. A big jam pot and ladle sat on the coffee table with my home brew in it to which they'd added a bottle of vodka. Both the product of broken homes btw!

Skip to two minutes in.
Il use a combination of that and a iron depending on the components.
Looks like the air could have been a bit hotter but gives you the idea.
Love how they wick into place

My first attempt this year was foul ,in fact I poured it away but sitting here , typing this ,I would say after a couple of pints , the second brew I’m happy with. HicYou're really investing in this, what if the beer turns out to be stuff you don't like/can't drink?

God I miss making wine & beer! Beer only ever from kits but every country wine from scratch.
Used to make ginger beer too starting off with a "plant" in a jam jar...root ginger I think it was that you "fed" every day with a spoonful of sugar and powdered ginger from memory. Wish I could find the recipe!
No wonder I did s**t at school!

Haha! Had no idea, but then the nearest one is, in time and petrol, way more than the saving away.

I'd say there still a great buy at tenner shame theirs not a cosco near by though mines about ten minutes away but hadn't been in there for donkeys . the gloves were a bonus as I'd just lost one of me mechanix gloves out the side pocket of the van.

Are they online, just looked and couldn't see them. Saying that I'm not logged in and can't be bothered getting up to get my Costco card!

I still make ginger beer:
2l pop bottle, spoon-full of bread yeast. thumb of ginger (sliced) + a teacup of sugar. fill with pre-boiled water, but leave a couple of inches space, and squeeze the bottle until the water reaches the top, before putting the lid on. release the pressure, and re3squeeze every couple of days (if you don't you'll regret opening the bottle later!)

We gave it a taste earlier and it's really quite good.You're really investing in this, what if the beer turns out to be stuff you don't like/can't drink?
Pretty cloudy but there's cold crashing still to come, I suppose it'll clear in the keg too, assuming it doesn't get finished this weekend.

Used to just cover a jam jar with a bit of muslin and an elastic band from memory. Then add the plant to more water, sugar and lots of lemons. It was over 40 years ago!

Are you sure they handed you beer?

I had to stop brewing for a while because the wine consumption was getting a tad high
I was brewing a couple of 25l barrels a month - and pouring it straight from the tap
Trays of plums from the market -£5 - plus 4 bags of sugar, a pint glass of raisins and a sachet of Wilkinson's wine yeast.
