    Wilko's pressure barrel leaking at tap seal (2nd ferm..)

    As the topic title says it's been leaking at the tap seal. It seems to be when pressure builds. I released a bit of pressure from the top cap to combat this and it gets better for a while and then starts seeping/leaking a bit again. Could this be due to me not using the supplied barrel cap (I...

    Evil Dog American Double IPA and hops?

    Do you still have the instructions? Mine said to put them in a cup a boiling water for 10 mins and then tip the whole contents of the cup into the FV.

    Had to unscrew cap on pressure barrel to dispense beer!

    I don't get what's happening though? And do you inject C02 as soon as you keg the beer?

    Had to unscrew cap on pressure barrel to dispense beer!

    Just to update, I returned to the keg the next day and guess what - everything was fine!!?? The beer came out with quite a lot of force into my pint glass. A bit cloudy so I've returned it to the garage and left it alone. I'm baffled to say the least!!

    Had to unscrew cap on pressure barrel to dispense beer!

    Thanks guys. Will re -prime tomorrow. One last question - is it strictly necessary to boil up the sugar? The instructions on the kit simply said to add sugar.

    Had to unscrew cap on pressure barrel to dispense beer!

    One small problem. I only have the standard cap fitted so will need to completely remove the cap to put the c02 cap on. Yes I know I've messed up. Is re-priming now my only option?

    Had to unscrew cap on pressure barrel to dispense beer!

    It had about a week in the warm kitchen. Will adding c02 save my beer? Or should I re-prime?

    Had to unscrew cap on pressure barrel to dispense beer!

    I added the 150g of sugar as prescribed by the instructions. It actually frothed out of the barrel when I did so! When I say I removed the cap what I actually did was unscrew it a little and I could hear c02 hissing out. Not sure why there wasn't enough pressure to push even one point out!! Can...

    Thanks for the advice by the way!

    Had to unscrew cap on pressure barrel to dispense beer!

    I was under the impression that you didn't need to add any c02 until about halfway through the keg? I do have a c02 cap but what do you mean my beer will only last a week without c02? Do you mean it will be flat within a week?

    Had to unscrew cap on pressure barrel to dispense beer!

    Hi. I gave in to temptation the other night and went to pour myself some evil dog ipa from my pressure barrel. Only about half a point came out before it trickled to a stop. When I unscrewed the cap it started flowing out. What am I doing wrong? Surely that can't be right!!

    Simple secondary fermentation question

    Thanks for clarifying!

    Simple secondary fermentation question

    When people talk about transferring to a secondary fermentor for a week or two before bottling, wouldn’t the sugars be fermented out by the time of bottling and therefore the beer would stay flat?

    Bulldog, Evil Dog Double IPA

    I have just kegged this with 150g of priming sugar. I added the 2 hop 'teabags' 2 days before kegging as I am a big fan of fresh hopped beers. I'm hoping to open it on Christmas eve even though it will be cloudier than a day in Bridlington. The only concern I have is that the OG was about 1.050...

    Adding some dried fruit to Brewferm Christmas Ale?

    Ah yes. Thanks!

    Adding some dried fruit to Brewferm Christmas Ale?

    Thanks for the advice. What would happen if I tossed in the dried fruit at the same time as lobbing the yeast in?

    Bottle capping question..

    But if I went to the pub for bottles that would mean that someone else got to drink the contents? ;)
