English Mild #1 2,5 kg Marris Otter 700 g Caramunich III 170 g CARAFA I 25 g Fuggle at 45 minutes 25 g Fuggle at 15 minutes Nottingham Dry Yeast (Lallemand) Single Infusion at 70o C. I mashed this beer in my 30 L aluminum kettle while working on the rest of my equipment and waiting for some supplies to arrive from the States. I used a cheap (under 15 PLN) curtain to line the pot and filter the grain from the wort. I dunk sparged in a smaller stainless kettle to reach my desired volume as 30 L was too small for no-sparge. I boiled it an hour and hit fairly close to my desired 5-gallon batch size. OG was 1.034 and FG was about 1.012 for just under 3% ABV. I fermented this in ambient temperatures around 20o C. Tasting it you can detect a slight watery nature to the beer but as it warms there is nice toasty malt flavor. This beer is a pleasant and easy drinking beer exactly as I was hoping.

The prices will eventually go up. You used to be able to get them for 30 PLN in the U.S. and now you are lucky to find them for 200 PLN. As more people brew, kegs will get expensive. You could probably make a killing buying them for 100 and selling in the UK. http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xcornelius+keg&_nkw=cornelius+keg&_sacat=0

Watch out for those big-mouth glass jars. They sell near identical ones in the States and there are a lot of reports of the thinness of the glass. Many break simply by setting down or picking up.

Yours are larger and they look good, I'd have gone your route if I had seen them in Leroy as well probably.

Alternatively there is a pretty decent selection of chalkboard stickers on Aliexpress. I just got a couple for marking my grain bins. http://www.aliexpress.com/premium/chalkboard-sticker.html?ltype=wholesale&SearchText=chalkboard+sticker&d=y&origin=y&initiative_id=SB_20140926232642&isViewCP=y&catId=0

I'm interested in selling my 2 elements at cost if anyone wants to buy them.

I just brought a vial back to Warsaw.

Looks like it might be a counterpressure filler off of a sanke coupler. If this is the case, it would be quite useful. If you can't find any info here, you might try Homebrewtalk. Regardless, the gauge and regulator and the sanke coupler are worth more than the 30 PLN I see on the gauge. You can add this regulator on to an existing one to expand it.

Mine have arrived. Thanks for organizing it 101K. If anyone wants to document their assembly in the keg and electrical I'm sure it would help others out.

Good news. Thanks for the work 101k.

No problems putting it in your account 101k. If you can faktura that isn't a bad idea, but I can live without.

1. 101k - R160/DIN - 2 sztuki 2. Mario - R160/DIN - 2 sztuki 3. cemik1 - R180/EURO - 2 sztuki po 1750W (jeżeli zmniejszy to koszty, promień może być też R160, dognie się). 4. express - R160/DIN - 2 sztuki (po 1750 ) 5. BretBeermann - R160/DIN - 2 sztuki

I'd be interested in picking up some heating elements as well. I'd need a set for one keg (so it appears 2 pieces). My wife speaks Polish and would be able to handle the communication with you all if necessary.
