Cantina Mortecino 5 Gallon / 7KG Kits. I have 3 of these kits and can do them for �£80 delivered for the 3. They retail at around �£35 each. Any takers, PM me to arrange. Cheers FatCol

Hi, fermenters now sold to a local chap. Just the pressure barrels available now. Cheers FatCol

I have 2 pressure barrels and 2 fermenting vessels for sale in excellent condition. The pressure barrel caps have brand new washer seals. The fermenting vessels come with bungs and bubbler airlocks and have thermometer strips attached. There also 2 brand new bungs as extras. Photos...

I have 12 boxes of used (once or twice) Coopers PET Bottles, with used caps as well as 8 x bags of new caps (25 per bag so 200 total). A couple of the boxes are a little tatty and one box has 2 bottles missing, so 11 x 24 and 1 x 22 bottles. All rinsed after use and ready to be cleaned and...

Generally, the only organisations given a "free pass" to operate a paid for raffle/draw are registered charities. Any commercial organisation, which is what THBF is, requires a licence and a legally appointed auditor to validate results and ensure against fraud. As the membership are members of...

Lots of classical, Afro Celt Sound System, Beth Orton, Chillout music, 80s - I'll listen to pretty much anything, so long as it isn't (C)Rap music - it hurts my brain and ears. If I'm in the need to put a smile on my face, then I turn to Half Man Half Biscuit - those that know of them will...

I use a bottle rinser and they are superb, HOWEVER.... If you use Coopers PET bottles, the neck is too wide and slides over the pump action of the rinser. I remedied this by removing the centre of an old CD and slipping that over the pump to act as a washer.

Standard pressure barrel taps also rotate within the body - Young's do one that cost's about £5 and can withstand the pressure of a keg. If your bottling bucket has a little bottler attached, then it's a proprietary tap - if it hasn't, then the Young's tap should suffice for that purpose as...

Can't say I've produced anything vile, but my most disappointing kit was the Evil Dog Double IPA which was very poor. Considering these kits are circa £25 I would have expected better. My crab, peanut, marmite and honey porter on the other hand, is a thing of beauty...:whistle: FatCol

When you say "put it in a cask" what are you referring to? If you mean a pressure barrel, then I'd advise against it, as it won't hold sufficient pressure to give a properly carbonated lager. If it's a corny, then that's fine. I barrel certain ales but always bottle lagers for the reason...

I bought it on eBay from Brewuk - £16.95 inc delivery.

Hi Rickster, My sparkler tap arrived and I can confirm that it fits my Wilko budget barrel perfectly. Many thanks to MrDasherD for offering this info up in the first place.:thumb: FatCol

I have several vessels that are a few years old and I use them for beers, wines, TC etc. I don't keep vessels for a specific type of brewing, because if they are cleaned using something like VWP, then there isn't any taste or smell transfer. I think the thing to really watch out for is...

If the wine is visibly fermenting, then I wouldn't worry, as the creation of CO2 within the demijohn will prevent any nasties getting into it, as it creates a positive pressure. The plastic ones can be temperamental so I'd just give everything a good tighten up and twist and push down slightly...

My real name is Orson Cart Over in East Yorkshire, the guy at the council responsible for road gritting was called mr Skidmore!!

Hi Rickster, Mine are Wilko barrels and as far as I know, all the budget barrels are the same, so it should fit. Mine will be here Friday/Saturday so I'll test fit it and report back for you. FatCol

Thanks for the info MrD, Based upon the fact that it fits, I have purchased one sparkler tap to trial and see how I get on - hopefully I too will be impressed. Appreciate all the feedback, many thanks, FatCol

I hadn't considered the notion of a reducing thread. Does that mean I'm stuck with rubbish taps, or can anyone offer an alternative solution?
