So that worked a treat! Purged the gas, then wound it up gently to 3 psi. After 48 hours, I now have some beer pouring perfectly, not too much head and not too little. The only problem is now it seems to be disappearing quite quickly.... :drink: Thanks all!

Hi all, So with the arrival of my new SS fermenter - I am selling my conical fermenter. It's brand new and never been used - apart from taking out of the box to check all components are accounted for. There is no fault with it, I just got a bit excited when the new stock of SS Brew...

This sounds lovely - care to share the recipe?

Tiny Rebel, Cwtch - I'm a member of a beer subscription service and this is their pick for me this week! They've been pretty immense with their selections so far.

Nice one - will give that a go and let you know how it goes!

Tried this - however its pouring incredibly foamy! About 3/4 of the pint is foam straight out the tap. Granted I tried the method above after leaving it connected to the gas at 30psi for 24 hrs so I wonder if I overdid it a bit. If so - anyone know how to remedy this?

Cheers for the tips - I have had it set at 30psi and 6deg for 24 hours with minimal shaking so far. I've now turned the gas off at the bottle, but kept the 'valve' in it's place so the gauge still reads 30psi. I'm going to leave it at that, tomorrow evening I will zero the valve and then take it...

First of all, apologies - I assume there are many posts floating about in the archives regarding this but I can't seem to find a definitive answer.:oops: System = 19L corny, 6.5kg CO2, Beer fridge with inkbird, temp set to 6deg C, beer is a summer lightning clone brewed AG. Have just...

Thanks for all your help on this guys - seeing as the pump will only be used for sparging, I've decided to manufacture an automatic syphon that'll be placed in when needed. This should mean there isn't as much steam as there would be at boiling temps. Edit: I will add a couple of pics from the...

FYI - this is the garage setup. Note the positioning of the electrics (man vs steam) and the tea urn at the top of the chain!

It's literally a 30L caterers tea urn, cost about £50 new so couldn't justify spending another hundred on another SS bit of kit! I've taken out the current tap and sight glass which reveal a small hole - definitely not big enough for the replacement tap. I've got the home brew shop mash tun...

A logical suggestion, but the current hole isn't big enough!

Hi all, So my first all grain brewday went very well - no issues with kit, no leaks and ended up with a good 20L of 'beer' at the end (aiming for 23 but the bazooka filter got a bit clogged). Also was very surprised at the fact I only lost 0.1deg in a 90min mash! My only issue is the tap...

I'm 90+ miles away so it was a bit of a punt - they just told me that they were in the area on Thursday (I'd tried a different day but that was the only way they could do it!) May be worth another shot?

All ordered - e-mail convo followed by an invoice for £16.74 for a 6.5kg CO2 delivered on Thurs. Unbelievable - considering the popular websites are charging £60+ for canisters 1/3 of the size! Nice one godsdog - pretty sure you've saved me a packet!

Thanks for this - I've sent them an e-mail but will call later if I haven't heard. I can't believe that price, how is it even possible?

Cheers, will have a hunt for that one.

That sounds good to me! Excellent, I shall commence begging. Thanks for the help.

So how much do you run through it? Are you a keg a month man or more? Keen to know whether it's worth the effort to start getting cheeky with the local (who'll wonder where I've been since the homebrewing started! :lol:)

Hi, I'm about to install all that is required into my 'beer fridge/kergerator' build - but have yet to purchase the canister. There's a lot of options out there, from the 250g canisters (available from the local homebrew shop), all the way up to the full size pub style canisters. If I tried...
