    Pump for water changes ?

    I've seen reviews that says the ones that need manual priming are pretty much a waste of time ..... they seem to pump well enough, but getting them primed and into a condition where they will actually do the pumping is a bit of a pain ! The one I've ordered is self priming. I suppose I'll...

    Pump for water changes ?

    As mentioned, it'll only be pumping about 100 ltrs in and 100 ltrs out, so battery life on the drill shouldn't be too much of a problem. I've already tried a Python and it works pretty well. OK for draining with gravity, but not as useful when filling. Although I've never had any problems...

    Yeast Co2 - with a difference

    Some time ago I did try a gelatine based yeast CO2 method and it seemed to work ok. The mix produced co2 bubbles at a lower rate than the usual method, but it did last for a few weeks. The main problem was the mess that was left in the bottles at the end. Thankfully I was using disposable...
