    Cold conditioning blunder!!

    Hi All Before going on holiday a week or so again, I kegged a couple of batches I’d had fermenting. My usual setup is ferment for 12 days after brew day, into a corny, put under pressure and cold conditioned in a fridge for 2-3 weeks. I’ve just got home and realised one of the fridges hadn’t...

    Soft drinks in a keg

    I’ve got a four-tap setup each with a corny keg, and as I’ve only got two beers on the go currently thought I’d put some lemonade through one. initially seemed great - 9x 2 litre bottles of Lidl lemonade at 19p ago - £1.71 for a keg of lemonade. Put it on a low serving pressure and all seemed...

    Recovering massively over carbonated beer

    I did a couple of brews some weeks back, both racked to cornies and sat on CO2 for a couple of weeks to improve etc. This has always been my method like many others. I majorly screwed up with one, somehow setting my carbonated waaay to high (like 60-80psi) which I discovered when I came to...

    Top Shelf flavourings

    Hi, I wondered if anybody has had any success using these flavourings to supplement their beers? They are designed for creating liqueurs but I’ve used the chocolate cream flavour really successfully - just traded it for the vanilla in my normal vanilla porter to create a really lovely chocolate...

    Does anywhere sell the poppet tripods?

    I’ve got four cornies which I’ve been using for a few years with overall success. As all were bought used they’ve required reconditioning over time and part of this has involved replacing the poppets. With increasing universal poppets now in operation I’m finding increasing problems. I think the...

    Using filter bags at fermentation

    Hi all, my set up is plastic electrim boiler, plastic fermenters, siphon, corny kegs. I am going to be investing in a BIAB fine filter bag for boiling - One of my great frustrations is not getting every last drop out of the boiler and I’m hoping by lifting all the sludge out first I can do...

    Too late to dry hop?

    I made a lovely black IPA last year which perfectly blended the dark coffee-like malt taste with lots of summery hoppiness. I’ve repeated the same brew a few weeks ago and the hop aroma is barely detectable. I think my mistake was overfilling stainless steel hop containers during dry hopping, in...

    Time to reactivate chilled yeast

    I won’t bore you with the details but a blunder with my fermentation chamber meant after a couple of days fermenting my IPA at 18 degrees, it had a couple more with the temp dropped to about 7-8 degrees. I’m guessing fermenting will have kicked in again once the heat picked back up - but should...

    S-Type kegs

    Hi, think this is my first post but have scoured the forum plenty in the last 18-months since becoming a home brewer. Hope someone can help as think I may have caused myself a problem. I acquired a couple of Sanke style kegs from a fellow home brewer - one 25-litre and one 50-litre. I’ve been...
