Im selling mine as there not right for my bottles, are you in the uk ?

my 6 racks and 2 trays arrived today, unfortunately im a little disappointed , basically my bottles which I have collected over 250+ are 74mm diameter and the racks only allow me to store 10 on each level instead of 24, which is a real problem, as I rack brew in 500ml bottles and don't want to...

Definately what im looking for, milk crates are a good idea but these just look like they will simplify the job of draining and storing my bottles much better, after I sanitise them which is a bonus, its an investment really as time is money and these will save me hrs on bottling day

Thanx just orded 6 racks and 2 trays look the business

ive just got basic setup at the moment with just doing extract cans, 3 x 5 gallon FV 1 x 5 Gallon Pressure barrel ( which I use a bottling barrel) 1 x little bottler 1 x hydrometer 1 x digital thermometer capper bottle of videne antibacterial solution and now a steamer to sanitise bottles I...

Thanx acbrewer that is great advice, just what I was looking for, yeah as soon as I pour my beer I rinse the bottle completely under the tap and then into a rhino bucket to store, they are completely clean and no sed or residue in the bottle, on bottling day I plan to use my copper steamer for...

yeah ive tried to get star san but its almost £50 over here in the uk, I may still get a bottle and give it a try

That Sounds good to me Brad, that made perfect sense, ive only been brewing 6 months so still have a lot to learn, I still just use can kits as they are so easy to brew, im just trying as best I can to keep my beer as clean as possible and keep contamination to a minimum, must say ive done over...

I had the same problem with some turbo cider, I kept releasing the pressure of each bottle till it fizzed out to a nice carbonation, I didn't take the caps off completely just kept releasing them as the fizz settled, took about 1/2 hour to do 10 bottles, once it completely settled I took the cap...

125oC hmmm, will have to test how hot the surface of the bottles get after 15mins steaming, they are untouchable so hoping they exceed 125oC, would you suggest I still give a dose of videne antiseptic solution, just before I bottle my brew ?

the steamer is 2300watts and seems to be powerful enough to do more bottles than I have made this for, if only there was a way to test how sterile the inside of the bottles are

ive measured the temperature of the bottle and it was 97oc, I had to wait 10 mins to cool down before I could touch them as they were boiling hot, and they look gleaming, just worried about the inside of the copper not being clean, was thinking about filling the pipes with vinegar and salt to...

also does anyone know if I need to sterilise the inside of the pipes to stop any copper flavours lacing the inside of my bottles thanks chris

these look so much better can you buy them in the uk

hi im new to HBT but have used it for the advice for over a year and decided to become a member today, basically Iv made a bottle steamer and it turned out pretty good, , will it effectively sanitise my bottles ? this was after 2 minutes and the bottles were scalding hot, all the jets seemed...
