Icefever Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 ........ to get back into brewing & winemaking. Sorted the garage this morning and found enough space for me to work on a brew, so come Tue this will be my first brew in 14/16 months. Starting with a Doom bar clone, not got the ferm fridge fix yet but it's warm in the garage these days so will just have to look after it's self for a week or so. I've also got enough rhubarb in the freezer for a 25 lt bucket of "barb wine"....let the fun begin. Ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Great to hear, I have a ferm fridge but don't bother with it much, I just use an aquarium heater 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icefever Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 Had the grain bill since Chrimbo....so no outlay for this brew...got to sort out the water setup, there's a tap just inside the garage door, the work space I've made is toward the rear so need to sort out a hose for the coil, then a return hose to the drain. First brew for a long time so need to keep my wits about me. Ice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Klarstein mash kettle, the rest of my kit is what I've made to work for me, a pump , I'm waiting on 3 new brew buckets. I'm thinking about using a corny keg to ferment in maybe under pressure??.... I did have a keggerator but I think this brew will get bottled...are you brewing now? Ice.
