keg

Afternoon all After a year of brewing I have just branched out to increase my capacity- now up to 8 Gallons. So thinking I will bottle part of my new first batch and keg the rest. Now kegging is new to me and it seems there are two choices: plastic keg vs Corny Keg and Sugar primed vs CO2...

Hello, I have a brew to be aged in a couple of 10L mini kegs which i purchased recently from China. I then purchased the Spears separately for the kegs also from China. As i am here in Cyprus where supplies are useless and everything needed as a newbie is usually ordered on eBay UK. The UK...

Hello all, this is my first post acheers. I am on only my second brew now.. the first was a wort in a can job which tasted.. OK.. but obviously not good enough to give me the brew bug as it that was about 4 years ago!!! A few weeks ago I stumbled on my old brew bin and plastic keg in my shed...

Hi Everyone, Long time lurker, first time poster! So I have just had my second disastrous attempt at using a beer gun bottle filler (the cheap one that is clearly a knock off of the early blichman beer gun) I bought it from the The home brew shop UK but i cant find the link to it on their...

Looking for advice, I'm setting up a kegerator in a wardrobe in my bedroom and want to use it for fermentation, but limit or remove the smell issue. I was thinking of using one 19L corny to ferment in, with the CO2 produced by fermentation going into a second 19L corny. I'd then be able to vent...

Does anyone foresee a problem with using the thin 3/16 hose for a keg gas line? I'd like to use it in my kegerator conversion because it's much more flexible than 3/8 which will help me a lot with routing in a confined space. In theory the hose bore ought to only affect the flow rate but is...

Hi, think this is my first post but have scoured the forum plenty in the last 18-months since becoming a home brewer. Hope someone can help as think I may have caused myself a problem. I acquired a couple of Sanke style kegs from a fellow home brewer - one 25-litre and one 50-litre. I’ve been...

So I've been kegging in cornies for a few months now and I'm very pleased with the results. My mate has recently built a bar in his house and buys in 88 pint sankey kegs to run on his system. Looking into the possibility of doing double batches, filling a sankey style keg (30-50L) and force...

I’ve seen this online https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F173616205776 I really fancy one of these, like the idea of a couple 2l and maybe a 5l. All fits in the fridge and cut down on the bottling. Happy days! However, I need to buy the kegs...

Hi all, At the moment I'm using a few more CO2 bulbs than expected and it's a bit of a pain to keep pressure on the keg. One or two of my neighbours have suggested putting a car tyre valve on the keg and pumping it up with a car tyre pump. What do folk think about that? Is it feasible?

Hello everyone, Would like to know if anyone has the 3.15kg CO2 cylinder from BOC? https://www.boconline.co.uk/shop/en/uk/gas/beer-gas-drinks-dispense-gas/suregas-cylinder-569 I plan on (hopefully) finding an undercounter fridge than can hold two 19L cornies and the CO2 cylinder. Does anyone...

Hello guys, As the title suggests, I'm looking for recommendations on what tower to fit on my kegerator build? I notice that there are a lot for £100+, but I would appreciate getting my hands on one that's little less pricey. On another (but applicable) note - how does everyone rate Keg...

Hi, Was just wondering if anyone knew a good place to get gas management boards or similar? I plan to run multiple kegs at different pressures from the same bottle. Any advice appreciated :) Cheers

Having sourced a 6kg bottle of CO2 it now seems certain I'll be kegging my first batch of bitter this weekend into a cornie keg. It seems that I have the following options for carbonation: Yeast carbonation at room temperature using priming sugar for a few weeks. Fast force carbonation at a...

Hi all As a newbie to both homebrewing (3 full grain brews to date) and kegging (first attempt) I wondered if anyone would be able to help me with what I think is an issue. I’ve filled the keg with no issues and whilst waiting for a gas line to be delivered I put some co2 into it using a co2...

So, later on this year i plan on investing in some corny kegs rather than bottling my beer and i need some advice. First of all do i need a certain type of co2 for this? To allow both forced carbonation and dispensing? Secondly i was wondering if anyone based in North East England was aware of...

I am hoping to move to a Crusader keg set up. It sounds like I need the following things (please let me know if there's anything I've missed). Can anybody advise on the best makes to go for (on a budget) and the best places to buy (either new or reconditioned): Crusader keg Keg coupler...
