The way I do it is, connect my beer line to a 3/16" push-fit - 3/8" stem. Put the 3/8" stem into a 3/8" to 1/4" MFL which screws on to the quick disconnect. For my beer it works, though seems more complicated than it should be! For my sparkling wine (45 psi) it leaks everywhere! I've...

My brother-in-law has come to the conclusion that he gets terrible headaches the next day after drinking my homebrew! He's been getting them for a while, but only recently pieced together that he seems to get them after drinking my homebrew. For example on Saturday night he only had a small...

On my beer bottles I'm quite happy to cut out and stick home made ink-jet labels, but I like my wine bottles to look as professional as possible, so I tend to buy pre-made wine labels if there are none in the kit. However the selection available in the UK are pretty poor so I've been buying...

Not having the space or DIY skills (or leccy in the shed) to build a keezer/kegerator I'm looking at options to cool kegs for the party season next month. The 2 options I'm looking at are either a mini Jockey Box...

I've found a local supplier of 4KG Co2 canisters £10 for the Gas and £20 deposit for the cylinder - which sounds great! :party: However... having been reading about Co2 safety, I'm wondering how safe it would be? :confused: I was using a sodastream bottle with an adaptor, but after trying...

I spotted a 9.5L Corney on Ebay for £45 (now sadly sold!) which got me thinking again that with party season coming up (and 3 birthdays within a few weeks of Christmas) it might be quite cool to have Sparkling Wine on tap at family gatherings ;) It's something I've been googling for a while...

I've been wanting to make a WOW for a while. But I've just been to Aldi, Tesco Extra, Asda (admittedly a medium sized one) and Farmfoods and none of them have any White Grape Juice. I also looked in Costco last week - no joy. I've ordered it with the weekly shop from Asda a couple of...

After a couple of bottle bombs I've decided to go completely over to PET bottles! Which means I'm selling 90 x 500 ml Brown Glass Beer Bottles used 1 -2 times. Some of them need a bit of a clean tbh. £35 collection only.

Having been pleasantly surprised by how well the Coopers Canadian Blonde turned out, I'm about to make one of their European Lager kits. To be honest, I've never taken to Stella, but I do enjoy a chilled bottle of Becks now and again, so that's what I'm aiming for. I've seen lots of tweaks...

I don't usually bother with wine labels - instead I just use different colour foils for identification. However, I'm thinking with Christmas coming up it might be nice to give bottles as presents and want to source some interesting labels. But all the homebrew shops seem to sell the same...

I had my first go at making a sparkline wine with a Solomondy Grundy medium dry kit which wasn't too bad! Basically I skipped the stabiliser and add-back, filtered clear then made up a solution of champagne yeast and brewing sugar and added a couple of spoons to each bottle. The plastic...

I made a batch of Elderflower Champagne last year which was very nice - light, very fizzy and very drinkable. This year I thought I'd try a different recipe :o I had planned to force carb it so that there'd be no problem with sediment but at 40psi (max recommended for the carbonater cap)...
