Thanks everybody for your help, top notch as ever. athumb..athumb..

I`ve ordered it from the malt miller. 8 0z for £17 ish.

I've ordered star san, and by the looks I can passivate with a higher concentration of this, so I'll give it a go when it turns up. Cheers.

Thanks, I'll get some of that and star San and try them.

Hi, yes this is the first time I've used the keg, it must be a few years old it's got west Germany on it. Will this taste go away the more it is used. ?

I used the beer engine with the corny and just used the tap on the plastic barrel. I've used the beer engine on a king keg before that was fine I used to gas that up too,that was fine. I transferred a stout from a king keg to the other corny keg and drew that via the beer engine and that was...

I thought that would be the reason somehow, damn I've just put another brew on using the same stuff. Thanks again for your reply, do you think the brew is safe to drink. ?

A beer engine is a beer pump, I steralised using VWP.I transferred the brew by turning on the tap at the bottom of my fermenting vessel, I carbed after purging the keg and put it up to about 25 psi for a week and the brew was a Geordie bitter the yeast came with it....be gentle I'm new to corny...

Hi all, I've recently started to use a corny keg, my first batch is disappointing, there seems to be a metallic taste to the brew. I'm using a beer engine, and 19 litres went Into the corny keg and the remainder went into a small barrel. The small barrel was fine...any ideas where I went wrong.

Thank you for your help, i`ve just ordered 2, but didn`t put that i wanted the taper cutting off,. Thanks again everyone.

The fitting is screwed into the reg, its a tapered thread.

Hi, i`ve just started brewing again and need a little help with fittings for a mini regulator. I`m looking for a barbed fitting for this regulator but, don`t know the type of thread needed and where to get it, the disconnects fit it directly but i want to put a 3/8 pipe on it. Does anyone know...

Been doing a bit of delving into the rest of the kit i was given, it seems the brew kit is from about 1985. I`ll leave it in the tin it might be collectable in the near future. :laugh8::laugh8:. Thanks everybody for your responses. I`ve just cleaned and changed the seals on the keg (rotokeg) and...

I wasn`t planning on doing the kit but, maybe. athumb... Will the barrel be ok after all these years, ( theres a song there somewhere). :cheers3:

I`ve been given a load of brewing gear and this was in the box, I`m thinking its from the 80`s judging by the price. I `ve also been given a top tap barrel by Brewiton ? , probably from the same period, question is, is the barrel ok to use once thoroughly cleaned and new washers fitted ? Many...

Thanks again i`ll take a look.

The reading was about .0994 ish.

Hi Thanks for the reply, when i added the finings and the rest of the kit i stirred it up for a minute or so which broke up the crust. I `ve got the wine in a fermenting bucket which i was going to syphon off into a carboy, if that makes any difference.
