My next kit is Festival Razorback IPA, and I'm wondering how best to package it, when the time comes. I have a spare King Keg pressure barrel and I also have plenty of swing-top bottles available. Forgetting about the (in)convenience of one method over another, do people have opinions on how...

Another newbie question. I've had a brew (St Peter's Red Ale) fermenting for about 17 days now. I opened the lid for the first time just now and FG seems to be where I want it. But now that I've cracked the lid (and replaced the airlock with a solid bung), how soon should I package it? My plan...

I've bought a few 5L bottles of Tesco water to use in my recent brews (based on forum recommendations). But what to do with the empty containers? I can find a use for one or two in the kitchen but I still have about 8 of the things. It seems a shame just to recycle them, so I was wondering if...

My home brew education continues. As always, I've scanned the forum several times to try to find a straightforward answer to my question, and while I've picked up a ton of useful information on the way, I can't find exactly what I'm looking for, so I'll ask. I've just fermented my first two...

I’m totally new to this. My first-ever two kit brews have been fermenting about 9 days now and I'll wait another few days before I King Keg one of them (Woodforde's Wherry) and bottle the other (Admiral's Reserve). I've been reading a ton of helpful posts across the forum (thank you) about these...

Firstly, thanks for all the great information and advice on the forum. I've learnt tons here already. At long last, after assembling equipment over the past few weeks, I took the plunge 2 days ago and set about cleaning and sanitising everything for the first time, before tackling my first two...

I've ordered a few items of equipment from Ballihoo recently, including a King Keg. Unfortunately the tap was broken in transit, and it arrived without the ordered extra bits (CO2 cap, bulbs, gauge etc.). I was a bit annoyed obviously but was really impressed by the way they handled the...

Hi All, Excellent forums - thanks. I'm a total newbie though I have watched tons of YouTube videos and read a lot on these forums, so I hope I'm getting a rough idea of what's in store. My plan is to start my brewing journey with some well regarded beer kits before possibly moving to...
