I'm really hoping that someone on here can help me as I've emailed a couple of homebrew suppliers and haven't really got the answers that I need to connect everything. My setup is standard, so gas to keep to beer chill to beer tower but I'm struggling for what I need to connect all the parts...

Thanks for the response. What’s is the python line please? I just know it as a maxi chiller/cooler

I've managed to get hold of a maxi cooler but I'm not sure how to set it up. I can see 4 lines in that should be connected to the kegs and the 4 lines out that need connecting to the beer taps but its the other ones I'm unsure of. Do I really need water? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Brilliant, many thanks for your help 👍

I’m converting from bottles to corny kegs and have decided to go down the route of kegs through a maxi chiller and then into pumps. I’ve no idea what to about the co2 though. I’ve been online but haven’t got a clue about what size cylinder to get, how tall they are (as I’ve got about 36 inches...

Hi, Can anyone explain why beers in a bottle or a barrel have to be left for a period time to condition (not carbonate) whilst it seems to me that beers that are put into Kegs and/or forced carbed don’t need conditioning. Is that correct? When I did a local brewery tour recently I was told...

After another few weeks it's got even better. This is a lovely beer. I'm going to put some of these away for Xmas.

After only 2 weeks conditioning in the bottle this is a lovely beer. Absolutely astounded how nice it is at this early stage and I would happily pay for a pint of this at my local

Ended up adding all the hops and following the instructions. The fermentation didn't quite make the final FG of 1.014 and i got down to 1.016 making an abv of 5.78% rather than the expected 6.5% although I'm not complaining. Upon bottling it had a pleasant, deep taste so I'm expecting that it...

Put this on yesterday. Brewed short to 21l and got an OG of 1.060. 24 hours later and the airlock is bubbling away nicely. Thinking of only adding half the hops after the first 5 days are up as I'm not took keen on overly hopped beer.

Try e950 cider yeast with sweetener if you like a sweet cider. I use it for fruit turbo cider

Try using a yeast with sweetener. I’ve done it for this cider and it came out really good. I used E950

I use E950 cider yeast with sweetener for the strawberry and lime turbo cider and it came out a treat

Just bottled 41 pints of Evolram’s recipe. The only difference was that I used a yeast with sweetener and I’ve primed with more of the strawberry syrup. It tastes really good at this stage so can’t wait to try it again after it’s conditioned a while in the bottle......if it lasts that long

Hi Paul, Thanks ever so much for working that out for me. That’s really appreciated mate. Regards Trevor

I’m going to be bottling some sweet turbo cider soon which has been made using the Polish strawberry syrup. I’ve read that using the syrup to prime gives a greater strawberry flavour. Could anyone tell me how much to use per 500ml bottle please?

Thanks. I’ll do some research/experiment and keep you posted

Hi, I’ve just been given a huge bag of walnuts (not green). Are these any good for making wine? If so, does somebody have a recipie please? Thanks in advance
