    my Keg has a leak!!

    If its seepage more than a leak, just draw a glass off to relieve the pressure and you'll be fine. These plastic kegs are a bit hit an miss I'm afraid. I always bottle about 6 or 7 litres as insusrance and keg the rest. I find that using two 'O' rings in the cap works better as well. I think the...

    Bottle Rinsing

    Has anyone used one of these things? http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002H3UWR4/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 There's only five reviews on Amazon and I wonder how long it would last. It doesn't look particularly sturdy. :cheers:

    st peters ruby red.

    I've done loads of St Peters RRA, IT's my favourite kit. Never used finings, only ever used normal white granulated sugar for priming. Always a great pint!

    degassing

    I've just remembered that I bottled 6 bottles of wine last weekend and I forgot to degass (I had stopped the yeast though several weeks before). Will this cause problems or will it just be slightly fizzy? Thanks.
