Can you mix John Guest and duotight fittings Posted: 31 Jul 2021 01:46 PM PDT Hi, I'm trying to set up a kegerator but I can't find any duotight 3/8 to 3/16 reducers only John Guest. Can you mix them? I'm going to order some Eva barrier from AE, I've looked an there but I can't find any keg disconnects with 3/16 fittings but I have found a JG 3/8 to 3/16 reducer in the UK. I'm just trying to have as few connections as possible to reduce leaks. Any advice please. |
Got strawberries, what to use with them for wine? Posted: 31 Jul 2021 01:36 PM PDT Some weeks back I had the opportunity to pick some garden strawberries and froze them (about 700g) with a view to making wine. I was told I could come back and pick more, but apparently since then the supply of strawberries has not replenished, with hungry birds being blamed (there was no net or other protection over the strawberry plants). I've also been keeping an eye on the reduced fruit and veg section in the supermarket but not managed to snap up any reduced... Got strawberries, what to use with them for wine? |

Bottling a Triple NEIPA Posted: 31 Jul 2021 01:01 PM PDT Okay so I've made a Triple 10% New England IPA BIAB as my second brew ever. I know I know I went in at the deep end but go big or go home! I just thought I would keep a record of any change in colour and oxidation on here and if you're interested just follow along. Ask me any questions! The picture is an undercarbed (4days 30mins in the freezer test PET bottle) sample of the beer and my god if it stays like this for 2 weeks with a little more carbonation I'm a happy boy! |
Barrel testing Posted: 31 Jul 2021 12:13 PM PDT Just going to check the pressure on one of my King Kegs, I think I have a leak, I haven't done this before, but I thought I would fill the keg up to the tap(top tap) with water, fit the top cap tighten and the pressurise with small cartridge and then use a spray bottle to check for any leaks, has anybody done this, this way, or do you have any better ideas to check the barrel for leaks, thanks guys |

So who's growing chillies 2021? Posted: 31 Jul 2021 09:56 AM PDT I am! But then I do every year . It's always tough to select what to grow but I've got Dorset Naga, Michael's Magic, Turtle Claw, Jamaican Jerk (all capsicum chinense), Tropical Orange (capsicum pubescens), and Madre Vieja (capsicum baccatum) in the propagator with reasonable germination so far. I'll get my capsicum annuum sown at the start of March (they don't need so long a growing season) but haven't quite decided what I'll grow yet. What are you growing / will you grow this year? |
New Year - Slid Brewday Posted: 31 Jul 2021 09:26 AM PDT Not brewed for a month or so, but drunk plenty. Looking forward to tomorrow's Golden Ale, which is heavily borrowed from the Cornish Tin Miners Ale recipe courtesy of Greg Hughes. Have weighed out the Grain in advance: MO 4.9kg Wheat malt 220g Biscuit 250g Crystal 40 500g Hop schedule is planned as per yer man, Greg, with First Gold and Bramling Cross. S 04 this time, I think, as US 05 dries it out a bit. |
