    What is the wall thickness on a corny keg?

    Just curious as I've seen some of the other kegs available out there and they state 1mm, the quality of true corny kegs is unsurpassed but I'm just wondering is the wall the same thickness or more?

    Can you leave rhubarb to steep for too long?

    Jut in water treated with a campden tablet, it smells nice and looks fine. No off notes on the smell. Next stage would be to add a little participate of chalk and then prep for yeast.

    Can you leave rhubarb to steep for too long?

    Is there a point where u shouldn't have rhubarb steeping any longer? Most recipes say around 4 days that I've seen, not seen anything that doesn't say not to leAve it longer, I've had some steeping for 9 days now, it's softened right up which I think is good, doesn't look off colour or anything.

    First brew - all grain or kit?

    I went through the same thought process when I was looking to start brewing, I thought I'd go all in and jump in at the deep end into all grain, as I got closer to it and read more about it I though kits were the way to start to understand the simplicity of making your first brew, time taking...

    Potential AG#3 this weekend, thoughts?

    I'm open to other ideas if there's other better options using these hops, I've also got some progress open too. But going for a lighter ale as my last brew was a really nice porter so fancying going lighter before going for another dark brew.
