Title: cheap hydrometers and PB valves
Post by: Tom on April 16, 2014, 04:40:35 PM
Dunelm Mills, next to B&Q are flogging homebrew hydrometers for 89p and white pressure barrel (2") lids with, I think, pin valves for a fiver. They're in the top left of the shop, at the back corner, on the bottom shelf. I bought a handful of hydrometers for the RRP of one! Woop.

Aye, I think so. It includes a black one of them things, anyway. Says the RRP is £20.

Handy if like me your brass valve actually bloody leaks.
