Today is 4 weeks since I put on a Woodfordes Admirals Reserve beer kit. 2 weeks in fermenter then transferred to King Keg for another 2 weeks. I'm going to do 2+2+2 method. I read that this is only a guide, but figured its a good starting point. What temperature is advised for the next 2 weeks...

Hi. I'm looking at ordering a King Keg, never used one before. I'm getting flustered with all the different taps and caps etc and I don't know what's compatible with what. I'm set on getting a bottom tap King keg with a 4 inch cap, but will this come compatible with the co2 bulbs and holder I...

Hi. I've bit the bullet after a long time off brewing and got myself a fridge with an inkbird temp controller and a brew belt. I'm brewing a coopers lager (original series, not the European) and I've got the temp set at 19°C using the yeast that came with the kit but I rehydrated it first in...

Hello all. New member with some previous experience. I gave it up a while ago because I kept having problems with the beer not tasting right. Mainly kits with a few BIAB brews. I've decided to give it another go as I still have the kit, and the time. Cheers!
