I'm a bit new to wine and have tried bottling but 30 bottles is too time consuming! I use cornies for my beer and was wondering if something similar is available for wine? Don't want to tie up a cornie but could do with a tap on it to. I heard boxes can introduce air into the wine after a few...

I have a Miele upright fridge / freezer which I've converted into a kegerator. Problem is I need to mount a three way gas feed from the outside & need to get three pipes in. Can I just drill the sides or are there any pipes inside it? I managed to get four kegs inside without any shelves so...

I've just installed a stout faucet on my kegerator & I'm having problems with the amount of head, it's only about 1/2 inch of foam / cream on the top and very little cascading. I'm using a mixed gas of 70/30 and the stout tap has very small holes in a metal disk. Looking at it, I thought this...

I'm just finishing my first batch of WOW & have transferred it to a keg ready for carbonating. As I don't like using chemicals in my homebrew I was wondering if it's necessary to use Potassium Sorbate in my wine? I have added 5 camden tablets to a 5 gallon batch when I keged it & filtered it.

I'm almost finished my 4 cornie kegerator & the last couple of things are proving a pain to find in the UK. The first thing is a stainless 4 gauge slitter for my CO2 & Nitro system. It would be nice to adjust the pressure on each beer style. I've given up trying to find anyone in the UK selling...

Just bought a fridge & in the middle of converting it to a kegorator. I bought a party tap which I was going to use but after the first go and it pissing all my beer into the bottom of the fridge I decided to buy a proper tap. I've been trying to find a supplier for Perlick Faucet's in the UK &...

Been looking at a Speidel Braumeister, has anyone on here used one or have any knowledge about the system? It looks very compact which would suit my needs as I don't have much space for a three pot system.

I'm buying a gas bottle & regulator for my new Cornies & as I do lots of different types of beer I'd like to know what people are using for gas. Do you use CO2 or mixed? Will CO2 be OK for all the different beer types or do I need both CO2 & Nitro/mix? Maybe they are all a compromise but which...

I've just got some new kits from Coopers & after buying dried malt extract & brewing sugar last batch I was thinking of maybe trying some sugars I got from my local supermarket. Main reason apart from just trying something new is cost. I was thinking of maybe a Coopers Stout with . . 500g...

Just looking into getting a Co2 bottle & was wondering, whats the best size for a gas bottle? Don't want anything too big or heavy but don't want it too small either. Whats the most popular size? I've been on the gas company websites and it seems they don't just sell one type of gas for beer...

I've just got 2 Cornies & was wondering where is the best place to get the C02 bottles from? I live in Darwen, Lancs so could do with a local supplier.

I've been bottling for a few batches now & it's started to drive me mad :roll: Thing is I don't want to use Corney's as I don't want the extra hassle of trying to find something to do with the extra 4Ltr of beer when keging. I've been looking at these...

I did a Coopers wheat beer last week & it's finished fermenting. A few people have mentioned leaving it in the fermentation vessel for another week but I'm worried it may go off as the FV just has a lid & no airlock. So the question is will it be OK?

I'm just starting brewing again after a 25 year gap. I've recently brewed Coopers Australian Lager & am currently waiting to bottle a Coopers IPA. Last week I made some Turbo Cider (2 gallons) which I'm waiting to clear. Planning on doing some Woodfords & St Peters kits next :cheers:

Hi all, I'm returning to brewing after about 25 years off & I've just done my second batch of Coopers kit beer the first one was Australian Lager & my current one is a Coopers I.P.A. The question is I started this batch last week and it's been brewing for 6 days I added the following . . ...
