So just got a notification from our favourite online retailer announcing that ther is a twin pack of CO2 soda stream equivalent cannisters available if anyone is interested. It's listed under CO2 YOU so if you log on to Amazon and enter as above in the search it should show up.

Just had an update from BOC and CO2 is to go up £0.44 per kilo.All I can say is I'm not surprised but the rate of everything around us going up in price is surely going to put the stoppers on a few things for a lot of us. Here is the mail I got today. Dear Customer I am writing to advise you...

Just received my mobile kegging kit from Jonny @BrewKegTap and must commend them as everything was preassembled and there is literally nothing to do apart from disassembly so as to clean and sanitise put back together and hook up the gas. Shall be looking forward to the warmer nights to get this...

I'm having a dilemma about whether to go Keezer or Keggerator and the reason is I'm buying a new fridge or freezer to convert.I already have a two tap Keggerator but it's an old fridge and the missus wants a new one for the brew room I've recently converted from the garage.

Well today I went at my taps and keggerator with Ernest pulling them apart as they have been out of use for a few months. Dismantled both taps to clean in a mixture of fairy and oxi and the amount of gunk wet and dried that came off was disgusting and didn't even take a picture but take my word...

Two years kegging and tonight I decided I would try using the beer in port and wow how easy it is. Equipment : Syphon hose, beer in post connection with barb and a corny keg. Simply setup transfer as normal but rather than place the tube directly into the fermenter connect start the syphon...

Have been wondering if anyone has tried this yeast as I was gifted an out of date which was Nov 19 a few months back so I've decided to use it on a small batch and try it out. As I wasn't too bothered I started it of in 750ml of wort at 1.040 and it fermented so have transferred to 4l of wort...

Must give a big shout out to @Get_Er_Brewed for a well packaged order and prompt delivery service. Ordered Saturday night and out for delivery Monday and received on Tuesday and with a checklist.

Thought I would post this method again for newbies or anyone as I know it can be messy at times bottling. My trick is to keep it contained so it doesn't spill all over the floor. Feel free to add your own tips/tricks.
