    Rescuing a beer with ZERO head retention?

    Is there anything I can add to the keg to improve head retention of an already brewed beer? It's a NEIPA, a style I'm just starting to experiment with. Aroma and flavour are great but the head retention is literally non existent, like cider. Carbonation is fine, pours with a head of large...

    Serving corny keg in commercial system

    Hi all, I'm taking a corny keg up to a mate's house where he has a commercial system fitted with sankey couplers. I am trying to find out the easiest way to serve my corny keg on his system without having to cut his lines or cause too much hassle. I keep coming across the following - Female...

    Calculating gravity change for fruit additions?

    Wondering if any smart people out there could point me towards some info on this.... I've added 1kg of frozen mango chunks to my primary about 7 days in. I can see that this has kicked fermentaion off again. So my question is how do I go about calculating how many gravity points I have added...

    Fermzilla All Rounder Question

    I recently got the 30L version of the all rounder and am about to give my first brew a go which will be a NEIPA. I have struggled with this style before as I believe with the amount of dry hopping I have always introduced some oxygen that the beer could have done without. My issue - The All...

    Equipment For Sale Peco Digital Mashing Bin + False Bottom & Colander

    Hi all, Have been trying to shift a Peco Digital Mashing Bin, plus false bottom and colander, for BIAB brewing. I don't think the Facebook alogirthm is treating me well as it's picking up next to no views on Marketplace. If anyone is interested, please let me know. Ideally it would be for pick...

    Sodastream refill adapter for in line use

    I have a dual Co2 regulator where I have a dedicated gas line for sealing kegs etc. I was wondering if there is a solution for refilling sodastream cannisters where I can simply use my second gas line, without having to disconnect the regulator completely? All I have found are the sodastream...

    I've blocked my Dip Tube with Kitchen Roll!

    As the title suggests, I have very cleverly managed to block one of my corny keg dip tubes with a bit of kitchen roll! Had a stubborn bit of gunk that I thought pushing a bit of wet kitchen roll through would solved, it did not and is now very stuck. Looking for ideas on how to get out. Things...

    First Keezer Build

    Hi all, Just completed my first keezer build and unlike with my kegerator build, I took pictures along the way, so thought I'd share if anyone is interested. Any improvements you can think of let me know!! I started with a Logik Chest Freezer from Currys. Unfortunately I was limited to a...

    Building a Keezer - Looking for decorative ideas!

    As title suggests, I'm building a keezer after a very short stint of 6 months for my kegerator (it just isn't big enough!) I have bought the freezer new rather than using a beat up old fridge like I did for the kegerator, so am really keen to do this build properly and make it look really good...

    Floaters!

    Fairly new to AG brewing. Last two brews have been two very similar versions of a Sierra Nevada pale clone. Both fermented with us-05. I use a hop spider, immersion chiller and have a bazooka filter for transferring to FV, I also sieve on transfer to FV. Both brews are showing these floaters...

    Joining two gas manifolds...

    I am looking to join two gas manifolds together (a 3-way and 2-way) rather than have to shell out for a new 5-way. After a google search, I believe the part I need is this - https://www.micromatic.com/fittings/connector-nipple-1-1-2-inch-x-1-4-inch-npt-left-hand-threads-1319069 Anyone know what...

    Changing Keg Temps

    Hi all, This may or may not be a stupid question but advice needed on the following... I was wondering if there are any ill effects to swapping kegs in and out of my kegerator. I am on a bit of a no-drinking during the week diet and therefore getting through a lot less beer. This is a great...

    Tropical Pale Ale Ideas?

    Hi all, Been brewing all grain for a few months now. Have exclusively stuck to mash kits so far until I got used to the process. One of the mash kits I did was the HBC Citra American Pale Ale and it is hands down the best I've done so far. So, as my first step into ordering my own ingredients I...

    BIAB Volumes/Trub

    Hi all, Recently made the switch to BIAB using the digital Peco boiler. I have done a couple of full volume boils so far using ready made mash kits. One of the things that is bugging me is the amount of wort I end up with in the FV. I followed the specific BIAB instructions for one of the...

    Kegging and Pressure Questions!

    Hi all, So I very very recently started kegging (so go easy on me!), and have come up with various questions I have about storage, pressures etc. Any help very much appreciated! 1. When I place a newly filled keg in my fridge I have been purging and pressurising with 30 PSI to seal, then...

    First kegerator!

    I've been posting various questions about co2 regulators which you guys have been kind enough to answer. Now I'm ready to start turning this fridge into a kegerator. It is a Hotpoint RLAV21, can't find any info online about where coolant lines lie but, I put it on its side to have a look at the...

    UK stock of CO2 regulators

    Hi all, Does anyone know of anywhere online in UK that sells either a dual pressure CO2 regulator or a 3 or 4 way secondary regulator like the ones that seem to pop up readily available on all the US sites? I keep searching, suddenly find a site listing one, but always out of stock! Can't be...

    Brewing for a Party

    Hi all, Have been brewing since last year and so far have bottled every single brew I have done. I am a little tired of this but it is worth it in the end! However, I have a large party to host at the end of January/beginning of February and thought it would be an ideal time to brew a batch or...
