I have just started using mini kegs for my homebrew as found the mini keg starter kit in the loft I was gifted and forgot about..... Anyway does anyone use the draft systems for mini kegs? Ive looked at a couple on t’interweb but a little put off how cold they keep the beer. I’ve got the party...

Hi all, currently boiling my first AG. Couple of hiccups but really enjoyed it so far. I am in the garage with the door open. Dosing in my chair next to the boiler (yes I know what could possibly go wrong..) and looked up at the boards. I have attached the picture. They are obviously getting a...

I’ve got 2 cans of black rock pale ale, best before 12-2017. I know the yeast will be completely pointless. Would you brew or not? Showing slight rust on the outside.

I amassed a good collection of bottles with every intention of using them regularly. However, I haven’t since used them and they have been outside since the summer of 2018. They inbetween an unheated garage wall and a shed with a garden fence at the back. Will the elements have made them unsafe...

Hi all, I have 2 King Keg top taps I purchased on here a while ago. Only thing is in the house move my canister has gone missing. What are my other options for gassing them or is it not worth the hassle and I just get another canister? Thanks in advance

Hi all, As the title suggests I finally have my space up and running so will be putting a few brews on ASAP. However some of the kit has been in storage for a while and doesn’t look in the best of condition. What is the best way to return it back to “like new”? Links to products to use would be...

I’ve finished now so more a what was I doing wrong thread. I’ve got an old Bosch drill I inherited from my old man when he died. It has hammer or drill action, 1 and 2 (which I assume are clutch settings) and A to D on the trigger with an E also on the trigger but separate from the other...

I chose to have this years bottle on my birthday, it was amazing. Flavours I don’t usually associate with beer, plum on the nose and amazing deep malt before deep fruit and bitter finish. That’s it for another year of the Vintage. Will be having some of the others from Fullers later in the year.

Hi Everyone, I placed a can of Electric Bear - Inspector Remorse in the fridge last night to chill for this evening. On opening, the can exploded in my hand, hit the ceiling and made a hideous mess. I went to the cupboard to find another had exploded in there and the third required a safe...

Hi everyone, Seeing as my brewshed is going to be up and running soon, one of the construction guys that has been digging out my garden has a variety of apple trees in his orchard and has promised me a knock on the door in September (in exchange for some cider). I have no idea what to do or...

Just letting off steam..... I am sick of reading about the various Fads people are putting themselves through in January and feel compelled to preach to everyone about. If they feel like torturing themselves for a whole month then it should be done in silence. So today I am going to...

Hi everyone, As I have now purchased a couple of Inkbird temperature controllers (thanks Ali) I am wanting to use them to try and avoid overly cold temperatures in the shed where my brews will be stored to condition etc. The plan was to use some sort of greenhouse heater(s) to prevent it...

I know this has been discussed before and I have read the other threads, however there doesn’t seem to be a divinities answer. I have a fridge freezer waiting for my brew den in the garage (once the house is built). Is it just going to be able to be used as a fridge-freezer or is...

Tesco are stocking BrewDog’s Mr President (formally hardcore IPA) in their 3 for £5.summit offer, just in case anyone likes it as much as I do.

This was one of the last beverages I drank with my old man before he passed away last September. I bought a few of them and put them with my ‘vintage’ beer collection. I had one tonight and I don’t know if it’s the nostalgia or the fact I bought it and left it for a...

Wine Buddy White Zinfandel on Amazon Warehouse, no idea if any good price wise as I only do beer. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B01AWD7DFY/ref=mp_s_a_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1508922264&sr=1-16&m=A2OAJ7377F756P&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65

Hello everyone, Due to a messed up house move my brewing equipment has been in storage since March so am just looking on in envy at everyone's brew write ups. So I went to where my beer is being stored (at my brothers) and persuaded him to move everything so I could get to some I had brewed...

Don't know if I'm late to the party or my local Aldi is early but when I went round today they had just stocked the "offers" shelves with 15 different bottled beers plus a swing top gluten free pale ale. Along with a couple of 'premium' ciders.

Hi, Whilst awake due to jet lag, I thought it was a good idea to buy 2 cans of Black Rock Pale Ale that are coming towards BBE. What would be the best way to approach this? I bought them so I can get my stock up before experimenting with AG. Is this the type of kit where I can chuck both in...
