Hey Yall, Just about to keg my Black Pearl Stout, A mate of mine mentioned using Nitrogen Bulbs to gas the keg instead of the standard CO2, giving it smaller bubbles & smother finish. I don't really understand if this is correct or weather he's talking rubbish, Any one able to point me...

Hey Guys, Another random odd (and probably stupid) question. I was reading a thread about spring tipples & what people are thinking of setting off. Someone mentioned Honey Ale and it got me thinking. Would it be possible/recommended to convert a standard extract beer kit into a honey ale. I...

Hi Guys, I am just about to start my Summer IPA and was thinking about storing it in glass demijohns for second fermentation & conditioning. The main thing I am dubious about was the pressures involved. Do you think it would be OK to condition ale in this way and if so, have you got any...

Just a quick question, After i have had my beer in the keg for the 2nd fermentation for its 4-5 weeks, is it possible to then bottle it. I am not wanting to bottle the whole batch, only about 10-15 grolsh bottles worth. If it is possible/ok to do so would i need to re-prime these bottles?

Hi Guys. Right, i've got my first query. I have just bought & collected my first pressure barrel from E-Bay. After driving the 100+ miles back home & checking E bay, I realized the guy gave me the wrong barrel from the 2 he had. I don't want to complain to the guy, mainly because he gave me...
