    Pressure Barrels - More than you wanted to know!

    this looks like a great idea and possibly cheaper than the single cartridges? Thanks for the tips Hazelwood, It does seem to calm down quite quickly but the jug idea much better. Its actually turning into a nice pint unconditioned very drinkable :)
