We're planning to take in a match, so I've been trying to locate a decent real ale pub in the town to celebrate/drown our sorrows in. I've tried both The Good Pub Guide and The Good Beer Guide with no luck. With the likes of such brewing genius' as <a href="http://www.williamsbrosbrew.com/">The William Bros</a> in town, I would've expected there to be at least one decent watering hole.</p> <p>Can you anyone sling any suggestions my way?<br /> Cheers,</p> <p>Andy </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/home-brew-kits-1#post-2170669 Mon, 10 Jan 2011 22:45:56 +0000 Haze 2170669@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Use a <a href="http://www.colchesterhomebrew.co.uk/colchesterhomebrewshop/prod_616382-Brupak-Bottling-Stick.html">bottling stick</a>, life's been so much easier since I got one.</p> <p>I'd also recommend an immersion heater more so than a brew belt, it'll regulate the temperature better unless you happen to have a belt with a thermostat. Only a few quid more, there's dedicated homebrew ones (Electrim 75) available for about £20 off Ebay or try an aquarium one.</p> <p>Not an essential, but keeping your yeast happy will help you get down to final gravity. 18c is about right, if you've got a room constantly around this temperature then you'll probably be fine without.</p> <p>As mentioned above, you don't have to use a hydrometer. If you can be sure fermentation has started (and it's fairly obvious) then 2 weeks in the bucket should see it creep as close to final gravity as it's likely to get.</p> <p>Although they are useful for identifying a stuck fermentation and general beer geekery if you end up getting more involved. </p>
