Wonderful news. Turns out I wasn't putting on the disconnect properly. I thought I had put it on enough because it felt like a slight bump. Turns out I needed to push it a hell of a lot more hard and it "clicked" all the way down. Man am I happy. I failed at first, I had a tiny bit of beer...

I never used the release while it was connected to the keg. I've used it when I've disconnected. I put more CO2 in the keg about an hour ago because I emptied the keg to try again. I had beer come out either the ball lock or the disconnect. Didn't have time to check it. I'm going to give it a...

A corny keg, ball lock. A dual reg.

First time kegging and having some troubles. I hooked everything up and turned the gas on and set it to 12psi. It sounded like the keg was filling with gas and then as I was going to turn it off beer shot up the line and out the regulator. Luckly it doesn't seem to have cause any issues. I left...

I'm not currently ready to to set it up to use and I have a few bits to get done first. Currently I have an extract ale kit fermenting and look to move into grain brewing at some point. I bought a reconditioned keg and have some of the relevant parts. Plan on picking up a CO2 tank next week. Now...

Yeah, if you wouldn't mind.

I want to give a quick little backdrop to explain the real cork. I've been making wine for about a year now and I've been entertaining the idea of keeping a few bottles from every batch for a long period of time, we're talking twenty years and the minimal. Why? Purely for fun and because I can...

I bought a packet of EC-1118 and was happy to use that however after speaking to some people they've made me do a double take. Some have claimed it made their wine taste like rocket fuel. I planned on leaving the wine for at least a year. Possibly opening a bottle just before Christmas purely...

Yes please. I bought Make Mead Like a Viking, waiting for it to be delivered but I've heard good things about it.

I've been thinking about buying a book on the teachings of the alcohols I have mentioned. The beer can wait if it doesn't come in a book with the rest. I'm looking for a book that has Cider, Mead & Wine inside for general teachings and some other useful bits and bobs that are useful to know. The...

Mate, my building skills are pretty ****, lol. To be honest if I had any I'd have decided to build my own one at this point. That way I'm guaranteed a quality product even if it is pretty low key awful to look at. Plus it would be far cheaper than any of the more expensive ones I've seen.

That press he's using is quite impressive. You found the same website that I did, :). I was looking at the crossbeam ones. Those ones look like they get straight to the bottom.

Yes I used one to sort of mash it. I know I need more blocks, I was only given two which isn't enough, which doesn't matter anyway because in my main thread comment "Pole one has a thread all the way down it and pole two on the other hand has no thread. This means you can only turn it down half...

The apples go into a bag so I don't know how you'd even scatter them. They go through the mill first and then into the press. I'll include a picture though I'm not sure how that'll solve my current situation.

I've recently just bought a fruit press however I've run into issues with it. Yes I have been using it properly and I'll quickly explain the problems as I know someone will ask anyway. From looking around online the one I have looks similar to others I have seen online in terms of the connection...
