    Best ipa kit

    Youngs aipa is a great brew. Have done it twice this year. Going for number 3. The kegs last forever as I can only manage 4 pints before I'm on my back. Lol doesn't taste overly strong which is a major problem lol. Good luck you'll love it.

    CO2 Gas.....kegs

    Cheers guys. But still don't know whether to trade my 70/30 in for a co2. Lol

    CO2 Gas.....kegs

    Why do the majority of homebrewers use co2 bottles and not 60/40 or 70/30 or even 50/50? I've never used co2 just a 60/40 which I do really like. But obviously curious as all of the places mentioned sell all variations of beer gases. Is it better, does it carb quicker better last longer? Cheers

    Kegerator advice please

    If it still doesn't fit I'd drill the beer line with what ever size bit allows you to insert the beer line enough to get the threaded end in. Don't worry be happy. Yes I'm on the homebrew lol

    Kegerator advice please

    Does the beer line still not push in? If it does just clamp it or go the cheap way like me n twist some copper wire lol. These things are sent to try us but in the end it will all be worth it. First kegerator I built, the keg was hitting off the door so thought I'll put a piece of wood in the...

    What are you drinking tonight.

    Drinking youngs American ipa and festivals pilgrims hope both turned out really good. Prefer the ipa but it's been sitting bout 2 weeks longer so hopefully the pilgrims choice will turn out just as good. Both poured from kegerator using 70/30 gas.

    Kegerator advice please

    Mines have all just been barbs on the end which I just push the tower beer lines in then twist a piece of copper wire round to tighten. I'm sure the john guest fitting will either twist off or pull off to reveal a barb or thread to put your beer line in. I've done my gas lines with the john...

    Kegerator advice please

    Adam don't do it lol. Keep the fridge for storing all those extra bottles of beer you can't get in the kegs m8. Hesofcheese good luck you seem to have a good idea of what your doing.

    Kegerator advice please

    Av done a few conversions but unfortunately not one with a light on top. Every fridge has been the exact same though. Take the 2 screws at the back holding the top on ,then slide it off. I've found the insulation is always on the top cut it out to what ever size you need the actual fridge is...
