    Morgans Beer Kits

    Brought quite a few Morgans kits whilst on offer with Brew2bottle £8.95 with the intention of doing Toucans with them . Just started the Blonde kit adding 100g wheat DME to 25L to fill 5 x 5L minikegs. On opening the cans the smell of hops was far more noticable than any other kit I've used...

    Minikegs

    Last few batches I've made from kits especially the lighter coloured ales have had a taste like Andrews liver salts , after emptying one I rinse it and put a milton sterilising tablet in and fill it with water and put the bung in until it's ready to be filled with the next batch , I'm wondering...

    Easy Keg 5L

    I've found that this type of bung https://www.brewsmarter.co.uk/rubber-plug-for-mini-keg-5-litre-1527-p.asp is almost impossible to remove without destroying it unless you push the plastic middle part out first , I was thinking if the middle part was put in upside down then it would probably...

    Easy Keg 5L

    Thanks ,I have some of these but I've just ordered some more minikegs and wondered if the HB stoppers would work as they're considerably cheaper?

    Easy Keg 5L

    Thanks , "As the beer level and pressure dropped I'd give a longer blast of CO2 to assist with dispensing, or leave it on while pouring if needed." Is this done by the rotating knob on the dispenser? I've tried turning it but nothing seems to happen, also when a new canister is added does the...

    Easy Keg 5L

    Thanks,I noticed when I took everything apart , the CO2 is released on top of the beer and not into the beer as with my old tap a draft system , I also noticed that I hadn't tightened the beer dispensing nozzle which probably was why it was losing pressure.

    Easy Keg 5L

    I've purchased a partystar dispenser ,rubber bungs and 5 grey 5L kegs , when I'm trying to add the CO2 it doesn't seem to be adding much pressure to the keg ,I must be doing something wrong as other posts report too much foaming , I'm not getting any head in the glass whatsoever? The...

    Tap-a-draft

    Thanks Lawrence , this is where I bought the system from but they don't even sell the correct co2 cartridges ! The advert shows the old twin cartridge dispenser which uses the 8g cannisters and states 10 free cartridges , they only sent 5 and despite numerous emails I've never received a...
