Just posted on it :)

I wasn't after "Fizzy", just good condition. The same you would find in a good cask of real ale. Mine at the moment it dead flat. You really notice it if it is flat. I've taken my polypin out of the fridge so with the aim of it warming up and getting a little more carbed. Once it is fairly...

Are there any tips from people who do this on how to get beer cool and in good condition?

Ok. How do i make sure I still have some carbonation in my Polypin? Do I just have to let it balloon out until it's really tight?

I'm trying to condition my beers in a 10l plastic water carrier. On my first attempt i didn't manage to get any carbonation, my second try was more successful and the beer stayed in nice condition. This time however, the beer seems to go flat the minute i put it in the fridge. I have made sure...

Good stuff. Saaz for £2 here i come! I'm thinking anglo-german IPA.

Just been looking around for the a cheap online supplier. Malt Miller is good for specialty stuff and I've used it in the past but i've found hops for under 2 quid on the copper kettle. Has anybody had hops from here? Are they good quality? And how come they are so cheap?

+1 ???

OK. Is it any good? Also how does it compare to marris otter in terms of flavour?

Anybody used this or know what it is for? http://www.copperkettlehomebrewing.co.u ... -pale-malt

Also anybody know what a good sub would be in terms of flavour?

Probably not. But it does seem to have some benefits like high enzyme properties. Also as i said i saw some recipes on barcley perkins blog where recipes from the 1920s calls for 6 - row. Just curious really.
