Panic over, a few days later and carbonation is bang on!

I very rarely move my beer to a secondary fermenter. I’ve often left mine on 3 weeks with no issues. Personally I’d leave it alone and enjoy your holiday, but either way would be fine.

Thanks for the replies. I forgot to mention the beer type. It’s hazy IPA around 7%. I guess I need to be a bit more patient. I was just curious why the keg seemed to prime fast than the bottles when the primer was mixed in the bucket. I’ve tried another bottle and it’s definitely more carbonated...

I haven’t bottled for a while. I split my latest 10 gallon batch between kegs and bottles. The last 6 gallons I added 100 grams of priming sugar, kegged 3 gallons and bottled the last 3 gallons. The keg has primed just fine, but the bottles are kind of flat. Not sure why. Been in bottles for...

Here’s mine.

I usually add dry hops at that point so it’s often well over 2 weeks before I keg or bottle.

Mine usually take about 10 days at around 20 degrees ending up roughly 7% ABV. My brother has a commercial brewery and doesn’t understand why. I don’t either. It just does.

Nice. It’s a Nukatap, bought from Beerkegtap. Not used it yet. Still need to get hold of a CO2 bottle to complete my setup.

This is a thing of great beauty!

Putting a 5 gallon fermenting bucket on the kitchen worktop and using a rolling pin to tilt it forward when siphoning into keg. And doing all of the above at 11pm.

https://brewkegtap.co.uk/products/intertap-flow-control-keg-mounted Thanks for all the replies. Crikey, Didn’t think it would be so hard to choose! Thinking about going for the above. £45. Is this a wise choice at an OK price?

Is this what I need?

Thanks for the replies. Can you explain why I need a flow control disconnect and where I can get one from? Also, I like the look of the ultra twist but can seem to find it anywhere in the UK.

Hi I need a faucet for a corny keg I've just bought. There seem to be a few to choose from. Is there much difference in quality between brands. Any recommendations. I'm looking to attach it straight onto the disconnect. Thanks in advance.
