Hi All Havent posted in a while as I have been drinking all the brews lol. I am now brewing for christmas! I have a home made keezer with three lovely ex pub taps. As a little experiment I decided to keg 5 gallon of a pinot grigio kit to try and get a prosecco type drink. Well it worked a...

Hi All All you experienced corni keggers might be able to help me here:thumb:. I have been corny kegging now for a few months. I wondered why my usually lovely frothy bottled beer now has stopped since putting in the keg. I wondered if it was the force carbing or beerline diameter but...

Hi All Done a brew tonight - John Bull IPA kit with a kilo of brew enhancer and 400gram of extra brew sugar. I intend to dry hop at the end with either cascade or Amarillo. Some queries here. I got an OG of 1038 which I think is low for the amount of sugar I wacked into it. My hygrometer...

Hi All I am wanting to experiment with some dry hopping in my next brew. I only brew with kits at present but I would like to get a bland ale kit and experiment with some hops for aroma/flavour. What I am after is to try to get a nice ale with really, really floral notes. Something as...

Hi All After badgering you all for ages re keezers, I have finally finished mine. I am quite happy with it and I have done the colours the same as our kitchen, so it will be a home bar in our dining area. The base unit was a really old chest freezer I got for free. Wood was about 40 quid...

Hi All with Keezers or kegerators! I have just finished wiring the inkbird tonight so I will have the keezer finally running tomorrow - yeeaa! For those of you who have done it before, any tips for me re: carbonation, CO2 pressures and beerline lengths and diameters to stop fobbing...

Hi All A bit more advice from you gents!:grin: My three tap Keezer project is taking shape now. I have bought an Inkbird ITC1000 controller which I plan to wire up and cut out a part of the keezer collar so it fits snugly and looks very professional. My question is this. Do I need to...

Hi All A bit of advice if you please:thumb::thumb: I am brewing a porter kit at present. This time I used a full kilo of dark spray malt instead of brew enhancer/sugar. It has now been two weeks in the FV and still bubbling away. Is this normal? Most of my previous brews have finished...

Hi All I am making my Keezer and its time to source the beer tower. I need a triple tap tower or triple tap T bar tower. However the new ones on ebay are all quite generic and I would like to get one with a little more style to it. There are some lovely used beer towers from ebay -...

Hi All I wonder if you experienced gents could give me some advice?? I am in the process of building a keezer after purchasing 3 lovely kegs from Matt a few weeks ago. Basically I am now thinking about CO2. I went down to my local shop to get it and they could sell me 6Kg one but it...

Hi All A bit of advice from you fine chaps :) I have just brewed my first WOW wine and stabilised it tonight. It has cleared lovely and I let it completely ferment out and tonight back sweetened it with Youngs wine sweetner. I believe this sweetner is unfermentable so it should not be...

Hi All Don't laugh here but can anyone explain the difference between Extracts, BIAB and partial mash?? It is confusing me:doh: I only use various kits with LME in them and a bit of dried malt/enahancer and maybe a dry hop or two. Thanks Zippy

Hi All I have just brewed a batch of Cwytch welsh red ale. It has come out lovely but for one weird thing that has never happened to me now. When drinking it, the colour, aroma and flavour are superb - almost like a cross between an amber ale and an American IPA. But after a drink and...

Hi All My last brew got an infection. It was very drinkable for two months then gradually went yuk. I lent my equipment to a mate to try homebrew, and that brew has become infected too! I was wondering if the starsan I use was strong enough and wonder if wild yeast are more hardy than...

Hi All I am thinking of making the jump to AG but I am lazy sod and thought I might use this piece of equipment here https://www.brew2bottle.co.uk/bulldog-brewer-craft-brewing-system-complete-grain-brewing-system-for-home-beermaking.html Anyone any thoughts on if this is a good buy or no...

Hi Knew to brewing. I have done not too badly so far but my last batch which was an IPA which I also added some dry hops to, has got steadily worse. At first it tasted and looked ok but maybe a little too much fizz. over the last few weeks the fizz has got way worse. OK when opening the...

Hi All Newbie here. I usually use the single can kits with either DME or brew enhancer. However recently been experimenting with 2 can kits and DME/Bru bags. These are slightly more expensive which got me thinking - what would be the cheapest way to brew - is it with the kits, doing a DIY...

Hi All Thanks for letting me join this excellent forum! I have been brewing since last Christmas (it was a Christmas pressie!). Wouldn't say I am the greatest but I have had some lovely brews and some not so lovely! Getting better all the time but wanting to really make a few great different...
