Ah the English muffin is different to the north west muffin, we have oven bottom muffins for a start but in my small corner of the world almost any soft bread roll was a muffin

Any excuse to name some of my current favourites: Black sheep ale Skinners Betty stogs Brooklyn lager Anchor steam beer

From the Rochdale/Oldham area of the northwest: Soft and flatish: muffin Soft : barm Crusty: roll I could go into a chippy and order a chip muffin, yet down the other end of the road I’d have to order a chip barm

I haven’t done it yet but have seen people filling on YouTube leaving a fairly small area filled with the head/foam, they seem to fill with foam pouring out which I assume takes as much oxygen as possible out

I was starting to think I was the only one drinking them sort of volumes!

Glad to hear you’ve got it working well, and the bags do a good job for storage too

Good to know! I have a spare around too. thank you

Thanks again for the reply, sorry I messed up the reply on my last post. I think I’ll try a few things over my next few brews and make some notes, probably update on here with my very amateurish findings

Yes he has! I’ve thought about it a lot and I think I could do a similar system by just adding co2 to the barrel, it’s only when drinking a lot in a short time it would cause a problem which is why I wondered about transferring from barrel to bags. Seems like there’s a lot of ingenious ways...

Sounds like the bags work very well I’ll give it a try

Interesting! Similar to the growler type setup think I need to do a lot more googling

I’ve seen you can get 3, 5 and 10 litres which is why I’m keen. Do you prime the bag? Out of interest do you ever store them for more than a few weeks before opening?

Yes I believe I can do something similar with the barrel so think that might be the best way

If I could get these with a Vitop tap it would be perfect
