Hi guys, Does anyone know where I can get a bottle of CO2 from in the Newcastle/Gateshead area? Thanks in advance

I don't suppose anyone has one of these lying around, preferably in grey as it's missing from my John Smiths Extra Cold pump

Hi guys, Where's the cheapest/best place to get some corny disconnects with John Guest 3/8 fittings? I need 3 of each :cheers:

Hi guys Just got my latest addition finished and I'm well chuffed with it although I can't claim to have made it myself :whistle: The pumps are just for decoration atm, not sure which road I'm gonna go down in relation to kegging, but the lights are wired up and working. But most importantly...

Hi guys I've just bought a transformer to light my bar pumps with. The pumps have a purple wire and an orange one, whilst the transformer has black and red terminals. Anyone know which way round they connect please? :hmm: Thanks

Morning guys, I did my first AG brew on Wednesday, OG was bang on at 1.044, started getting bubbles through the airlock on Thursday and then it stopped yesterday. I know that fv's aren't airtight so I took another reading, 1.010, which is what I'm aiming for according to the recipe. I had a...

Well that's the ingredients ordered for my first AG brew. I'm doing a Hopping Hare clone next Wednesday. Really looking forward to to but nervous at the same time :shock: Desperately don't wanna **** it up :electric: :whistle:

Hi guys I'm busy doing a Youngs Definitive Country Strawberry Wine kit. All has gone well but it's not clearing. I added the finings 11 days ago and it's been somewhere cold along with another wine (not a youngs kit) that's cleared ok. There is a layer of sediment but the rest of the wine is...

Hi guys, I'm doing a kit from Bulldog brews called Evil Dog, all is well so far, it's nearing the end stage and my question is regarding the hops included in the kit. It's simply what to do lol (in laymans terms), I've never used them before and want to get it right. I've 2 packets, 1 marked...

Hi guys I'm gonna be bottling my Magnum Strawberry cider later today and was wondering how much sugar to mix in before bottling :cheers:

Well it seems like it's taken an eternity to get here but I've just cracked open a bottle of my first lager in over 20 yrs :party: I know it's early in the day but it's my day off :grin: It's a Coopers Canadian Blonde, started on 2nd October so still very young but today was the day for...

Hi guys, SWMBO has asked me to do 5 x 6 bottle kits at once in a 23L FV, I was just wondering if this is possible? :wha: I'm presuming you can, just everything will be 5 fold

Hi guys, I'm going to batch prime and bottle my Munton's Midas Touch ale on Sunday. The instructions say to use 3oz of light spray malt which I've bought, this amount doesn't seem a lot to me for 23 litres :wha: Has anyone experimented with more and what did it turn out like? I don't want...

Hi guys, A newbie question for you, so far I've reused the caps that come with screw top wine bottles but I'd like to try corking some. The question is do I need to do anything with the corks before putting them into the bottles via the twin lever corker? Presumably the bottles will need to...

Hi guys I've tried a few cheaper wine kits and all has gone well so me and SWMBO decided to get a premium kit so we decided on a Beaverdale Grenache Rose. I followed the instructions to the letter, it was 1084 and 20*C but the temp fell to 18*, I bought a brew belt yesterday so it's now...

Well me and SWMBO have just finished bottling the first lager I've done in about 25 yrs, it's Coopers Canadian Blonde, finished off with an ABV of 5.3% so quite pleased with that! Didn't taste too bad but was lovely and clear, can't wait to get it finished and try some :party:

Can anyone recommend any wine/beer labels? I don't want sticky residue left on bottles as I'm using PET as well as glass bottles, but obviously I need to identify the contents :cheers:

Hi guys Bought a Solomon Grundy 7 day peach wine kit to try as it's my first attempt at wine, although it's taken longer than 7 days, didn't rush it. Just racked it off the sediment and gonna bottle it soon. Doesn't taste too bad either but I'm amazed at the strength! From the readings I've...

Hi guys, I've just set a Munton's Premium Gold Midas touch away, got the cans, hot and cold water in the FV, it doesn't say on the box at what temp to pitch the yeast at. :wha: It's currently sitting at 24/26*C Any help would be appreciated Thanks
