    Temperature of pressure barrels

    I have a batch in my pb in the shed after a week in the warm that appears to have lost carbonation. The shed thermometer is reading just under 10°c and when I open the pressure release valve band I get a hiss so there is co2 in the barrel. I used a co2 capsule to check it had sealed...

    American craft beer

    I'm on holiday visiting various relatives in the states and of course sampling a variety of American beers. I'll admit I like my hoppy beers (or dark stouts) and am a bit indifferent to "brown" and amber ales. Most American craft beers I have found have been pushing 6% or more, but have been...
