    Keg Pressure Problem

    I did a New World Saison over the Summer when the temps were hot, I kegged half and bottled half. The bottled half turned out lovely but the keg didn't carb up. I've fitted a tyre valve so I can test pressure and it was a big fat zero, and what beer dribbled out was flat. I narrowed the...

    Kit like sour beer

    I'm getting a real taste for sour beers at the moment, is there a kit that replicates this taste or do I have to do an all grain sour mash to get those results?

    Wilko keg leak!

    Just had a bit of a disaster with a wilko keg. I noticed it was weeping from the tap o ring so I tightened it, and noticed that the beer squirted out of the join between barrel and tap when you pushed it left and it felt a bit loose. I lied it on its back and unscrewed the tap and the thread has...

    Fizzy like commercial beers

    I'm halfway through drinking a keg of wherry which was my first brew. While it's a decent pint with plenty of head, the beer itself is pretty flat. I've got a second keg with a festival kit conditioning and that looks like it's turning out the same. Plenty of pub pints are like that so I'm...

    Wilko's leaky tap

    I've got a Wherry conditioning in a Wilko keg, I think its under a fair bit of pressure but the tap leaks round the rubber seal which attaches to the body of the keg. I tighten it and it's OK for a few days then it starts dripping, I tighten, it drips again after a few days, and so on. This...

    Too much head

    I've been brewing a wherry for a while and its currently on it's third week cold conditioning. It's not a bad pint but the problem I've got is there is too much head when it's poured. I have to pour it out of the keg incredibly slowly and horizontally with the glass, and even then it's 80% head...

    Do I need a C02 valve?

    Currently got a Wherry conditioning in a Wilkos keg. It doesn't come with a c02 valve cap, just a standard screw top, but you can buy them for that keg. Question is, do I need one?

    1st brew - is it stuck?

    I'm attempting my first brew, a woodfordes wherry. Its in the FV and for the first couple of days was hissing through the lid nicely. Now it doesn't seem to be doing anything. The lid is still bulging but I can't hear anything coming through the lid. Is it stuck? I haven't taken a hydrometer...
