    Are these corny kegs OK?

    Hi guys I have the chance to buy some 2nd hand corny kegs for a really decent price. I can also buy the add ons as seen in the pictures. I'm a complete novice when it comes to kegs so I was just wondering if there's anything specific I should look for? Appreciate the help! Cheers

    Adding oak chips to a Black IPA

    Adding oak chips to a Black IPA

    Hi all It's the first time I'll be doing this. The recipe recommends adding oak chips to the 2nd FV for two days.
