I have a pressure barrel (wilko) which leaked co2 when i tried it in a previous brew and rendered most of my beer flat
I have PET bottles but some are beginning to show signs of age now and have to be thrown away.
I could get glass beer bottles, from my own consumption and from family and friends, then but myself a crown capper.
I suppose if I use my pressure barrel again I will need to purchase the lid with the co2 valve to stop it being flat again.
My question is, which would be the best method? I like that bottles will carbonate well but hate all the cleaning involved. I worry if I buy a co2 valve for the pressure barrel that I will have more issues and lose my beer again.
Any opinions?
