Does anyone know of a dispense tap that can be fitted to a pressure keg spigot? Or alternatively has anyone rigged their own? I was looking at those "picnic dispensers" that are basically a thumb triggered tap on a hose intended for corny kegs. Could you detach the tube and fit to the spigot...

Hi all I have a beer thats in plastic PET bottles that is in serious danger of being under carbed. I'm thinking of opening each bottle and putting in 1 or maybe half a carb drop in. Does anyone see an issue with this before I do something irreversible? Thanks

Hi all Me (AGAIN!) I'm wanting to create a dark lager ala kozel or some of the other great Czech beers. Some recipes with you to use 50% black malt but this seems like a lot to me...I was thinking of subbing for chocolate malt as you tend to get that chocolatey/caramel after flavour with this...
