just a quick question, I am thinking of buying a corny keg set up and was wondering if you still have to put priming sugar into the corny with kit beer? TIA

what co you mean by hissing from the metal body? is the valve split or is it a seal? you can get a valve for about £8.

I`ve had the slug thing happen, just binned the pint I`d poured. I also dropped my wedding ring into a brew then plunged my un-sanitary hand in to retrieve it, that turned out ok as well. on the negative side, one of my early brews, I left it in my shed to ferment but it was far too warm, that...

morning chippy, Nottingham for me, that's 3 of us from Notts!

Just about to turn 50 :-( the Mrs got me a wherry starter kit about five years ago, I`m still on kits but with slight tweaks. best advice? don't run with scissors and always wear clean pant in case you get run over.

and do it sooner rather than later, if air is being sucked into your barrel (oooer!)

as long as they are in boxes and not touching concrete or soil they wont freeze mate. :thumb:

out of the one can kits I have done, the best mild in my opinion is the "simply" kit, and the tom caxton best is a good bitter kit. as with most one can kits, it improves if you brew a little short.

do you need to refrigerate a corny keg or would you be able to just use it in a cooler place like a garage for example. TIA Kev.

quaff is my new favourite word.

aaah, Shippo`s, used to be known as the "fateing ale". you couldn't drink any other type of beer after a few on Alfreton Road.

I`m thinking of buying some hops, and have noted that they have a "alpha acid %" on them. what does this mean?

I hope you didn`t get the dreaded GLUG OF DEATH!!!!!!:(

"Bottled the beer and primed it then rechecked (don't know why) it and it said 1.020!" ok matey, this is the bit that made me think you primed then checked.

I must be really lucky with PB`s, I have 4 and the only problem I`ve ever had is a tap that wouldn`t fully close that I had to replace. crikey, mr Murphy/sod will probably pay me a visit now!

surely the priming sugar would cause this rise anyway.

yes but you can`t get the little bulbs of N2, that's why I said N2O.

if you want the creamy head that you get on g******, then you need N2O (laughing gas) as it has smaller bubbles.

if the washing up is finished, what is your gurt still doing in the kitchen? what`s done is done, you`ll just have to wait and see now buddy.

I`m doing a ginger beer kit next and thinking about adding a lime twist to it. my question is can you just add a "rose`s lime cordial" type thing to it (and if so how much) or something else? Cheers peeps.
