Hi, I live in bromsgrove so not far and I’m also a member of the Worcestershire home brew club. As mentioned we’re a friendly bunch with a wide range of experience using a variety of different equipment. The members are spread across Worcestershire and further afield. Check out either our...

Brilliant. Thank you very much for your help 👌

is this the one?

Oh by the way, thanks for the recommendation. I’m going to look into it!

The sparkler is off ☹️

You’re definitely right. The pressure regulator cannot adjust to such low pressures with any accuracy. What I do is naturally carb the beer then try to backfill with co2 to keep the beer a bit longer than if I let it vent. I always disconnect the gas line when I’m not serving. It’s not a perfect...

Thanks for your reply. I too can see foaming in the line between the valve and the engine. You're certainly right on getting the right carbonation level. It's not a massive problem to be fair, it just means I have to wait a bit for the head to settle before I top up.

keg back filled with co2. It also helps to counter balance the hand pull operation. I’m having a slight issue with half foaming. For reference the pressure I set is around 1-2 psi so it’s not over carbed. I think it might be the demand valve as I can definitely hear air being drawn in during...

Oh, and my two-penneth is that these guys bend over backwards to help out us homebrewers. I think they are good guys, most certainly. I will continue to use them, but I'll wait for this nonsense to settle out.

For what it's worth, I placed my order on 28th December. THBC sent confirmation that it was shipped on the 5th January. According to the DPD tracking, it say in 'clearing the customs process' for over 2 weeks (still say's it actually), but then yesterday I get a text out of the blue saying it...

I’m in thanks!

It's a good idea, but so far I've only had the kegs full with beer (it's sad times when I've an empty keg!). I've toyed with the idea but I'm paranoid about infection or oxidation. Anyway, I've ordered a new dip the from BrewUK as I'm in need of grain and some hops for future brews, plus I've...

I think that is the issue as looking at the top of the dip tube you can see a small 'v' cutout. Probably drawing in either CO2 or air. Mmmmm

CO2 via a regulator. What's most puzzling is that the other two kegs work fine off the gas and beer lines

Good afternoon everyone, I hope someone could please give me a bit of help? A few months ago I bought a second hand refurbished corny keg and I've had a few problems with it just dispensing foam. What happens is that you pull the tap, there's a brief pause before the tap 'coughs' up some foam...

Thanks all. Well.... I think it's now sorted. I disconnected the bottle and regulator from all the pipework to route to the fridge and I noticed that one of the elbows had the disconnect sleeve a bit broken. Not sure this was the problem, but good to fix. I also replaced the seal to the...

Good evening all, I'm hoping someone can give me a clue as to a problem I've encountered tonight. After my CO2 canister ran out over the weekend, I've been trying to refit the same canister now full of CO2. However, when I turn on the gas, the regulator just blast CO2 out of the pressure...

Here's my version that turned out to be a decent pint: 4.5kg golden promise 0.25kg torrified wheat 0.3kg munich malt (mainly to bump up the colour and I'd run out of crystal malt) 14g Chinook @60mins 20g Chinook 20 min whirlpool @80degC 40g Amarillo 20 min whirlpool @80degC 40g Mosaic 20 min...

Evening everyone, I'm hoping someone can give me a bit of help? I've been fermenting a pale ale and decided to do a rare thing for me and dry hop. To weigh down the hop bag I decided to be 'clever' and use some 16mm stainless steel ball bearings. However, when I've come to rack the beer into...

Sorry, it was aimed at you! Thanks very much. I’ll give that a go. The head brewer said he used 3 strains but it was essentially a split between US05 and Nottingham
