I post this just for interest sake, it may be of use to others. I recently did an AG bitter with an OG of 1043. I pitched Llamand London, two weeks later I was stuck at 1024. I agitated, shouted at it, even swore! No change. I stirred in 12g of glucoamyalse bought from Amazon. A few days later...

3 x top tap King Kegs all fitted with sparkler taps. All have square profile cap seals, schroeder valves so you can monitor the pressure with a standard tyre pressure gauge, plus the standard pin valve. Box of 16g CO2 cartidges with holders, but much better, a Sodastream CO2 bottle (empty) with...

I've just bought 2 of these updated STC-1000 controllers and today set about fitting one to a fridge. The wiring looks dead simple, but I'm getting no output power. Even when the controller indicator light tells me the cooling or the heating is on, there is no power at those terminals...

After a couple oy years of using King kegs I've decided to go the cornie route, but what's stumping me is finding an under the counter fridge that will accommodate 2 x 19l kegs side by side. My 2 fridges in which my King kegs live (and most I measured in Curry's) don't have 23cm of depth between...

I have standard FVs and King Kegs and normally do around a 23l brew. I'm thinking of doing a simple SMaSH and splitting it into two before pitching so I can try different yeasts. Am I like to run into any problems given all the extra headroom in the FVs and kegs? Thanks.

4 days ago I brewed an AG bitter recipe which had an OG of 1058 and a volume of 21 litres. Pitched in rehydrated Llaland London and kept it in my temperature controlled cupboard at 21 degrees. It had a really vigorous ferment which overflowed through the airlock and lasted a little over a day...

I'm still very new to this, so please excuse a pretty basic question. I'm just about to keg 2 x 40 pint brews into my King kegs. In the past I've just added 90gr of priming sugar, but should I also be purging the head space by firing in a 8gr co2 cartridge? Thanks.

Hi all. I'm Mick, I live in Belfast, just taken up hombrew. Started of with a few kits and then took the plunge into all grain, presently working my way through the fruits of my labour!
