Hi All,
I'm a 'returning' casual brewer having brewed a fair amount of beer in my youth :).
At this point I don't want to get too complex but I do prefer to barrel so I'm currently at the plastic keg level.
Many years ago I had a simple CO2 regulator (from Boots I think) which fitted on top of the cap of the barrel and allowed a gradual release of pressure from 8oz cartridges. The regulator would keep the beer at a nice pressure.
Now I'm reduced to a pin type injector where the pressure is slammed into the barrel and (when over 75% full leaks from the seals on the pin injector) - not really appealing. :-?
My alternatives seem to be put up with it or invest in an expensive CO2 solution I really don't need.
Or am I missing a 'simple' alternative?
Feedback appreciated :)
