Returning to the hobby of home brewing after an 11-year hiatus is an experience that almost feels like reuniting with an old friend. If the friend was a angry wasp. For me, dusting off my brewing kettles and looking to dive back in poses some questions i might of missed within the hobby. How...

Mine hasnt had any issues and my shed hit - 1 if not more a few nights ago.

Unsure really I mean mines only got silver backed bubble wrap insulation around it as in the shed. but it keeps it a steady temperature. My fridge still works and it's been there for 4 months now.

Ones in my fridge. However my shed is insulated slightly.

You do need the keg, a co2 regulator with a pressure relief valve on, a sankey fitting, a special sankey keg with the anti tamper spear removed so you have remove it at home. There are a few more gadgets you need like a cleaning station.

I have uses sankey kegs that pubs use, I have used casks and corny kegs. I prefer sankey kegs if you have a big budget. Corny kegs for ease of use and holds the right amounts. I had to do bigger brews in my sankey kegs and casks. Beer engine + cask + cask widge was easy to setup also...

I have a airsoft pistol, shotgun and I just go in a hoody and a gas mask. I play in a place called halo Mill.

Got any pictures?

Unsure of the pressure as it's a fermenting ting bucket but the lid bulges and excess co2 escapes out of the unsealed side. Never had one blow up or the whole bucket bulge. The taps I get from online if I need a few or my local HBS. I try to get the taps that look like this...

None of my buckets have air locks I just leave lid on tight on 1 side and a gap on the other. However I drill holes in all of them for taps. I use a 25mm wood hole bit from wilkos and taps with Teflon into them.

My area is £56 for new customer, getting returning is just £25 for gas no delivery though just collection.

Clearing doesn't bother me if it tastes good I'll drink it. Ginger beer has authenticity about it when cloudy.

Cinnamon is a yeast killer. Too much and your kill the yeast everytime. Unfortunately if you can't get it started its down to too much cinnamon. :(

£15 for a cylinder? Where this place I'm in Yorkshire and I have to pay £65 for tank + co2

Used cinnamon? Used the exact amount?
