Thanks for all your replies really appreciate your help

Thanks For that. I have a 25l plastic fv although markings only show 23l and i do think i might have filled too much. I have read elsewhere to remove airlock and crack lid a bit but not sure? cant believe the activity it is just constant but hopefully will calm down .

its quite warm due to weather probably 25c where it is. As this is only coming up to 24hrs will it get worse and what do i have to clean?

Just done a woodfordes kit and airlock was bubbling within hours, and this morning i noticed that the airlock had some traces of beer in it and on the outside of the lid there was tiny pools of liquid. I put sanitiser in the lock to start with but wondered if this activity is normal or do i need...

im doing IPA is that a low carb?

ok thanks i will measure 100g out of the packet and do as you suggest

Just read packet it says 142g for 5 gallons but its USA so not sure if same as our measures so do you think that would be too much for my pb ?

Great thanks for that

Thanks. Do i need to put the sugar in boiling water first also could i use 90g of the corn sugar that was in the kit instead?

I am about to transfer 5 gallons of beer into King Keg but instructions for priming are just for bottling although the corn sugar pack is 5oz but again just says for bottling. Would that pack be enough for 5 gallons and is it better to use this than normal sugar? also despite washing out barrel...

Yes i have the wand which worked well once the water started flowing.

I am getting ready for my first attempt at bottling, only done keg before. I have a 1 gallon brew and wondered if its best to transfer from glass demi john its in into another bin first or straight into bottles. Also got a auto syphon with kit and unscrewed the end and a couple of bits fell out...

yeah Thought as much. i dont have bottles but could get them i suppose or try your idea. Thanks for the reply

Just made a 1 gallon brew. Never done one before only 5 gallon. I only have a 5 gallon pressure barrel and wondered if it would be ok to go in it or is it too big?

I'll certainly try that thanks. I've emailed the company i bought from to see if they'll at least send me a new cap and valve to try as its the first time I've used it
