hi forum,
Im new to brewing and forums but not to drinking lol
ive just bought a complete balliihoo brewing kit including a 5gallon pressure barrell and co2 injector kit and i am 4 days into my 1st ever brew for which i chose a wilkos pilsner, my sg was 1040 and today it is 1012 so although no airlock activity im hopeful this is progressing fine.
I also have plastic demijohns etc enroute 4 my 1st turbo cider which i didnt know was possible until read this forum so cheers lol

Are you planning to put the pilsner in the pressure barrel??
A bit of advice from someone who put the wilkos pilsner in pressure barrel, don't :nono:

A lager will not pressurise enough and you will end up with 5 gallons of flat lager.
Your better off bottling it and keeping your barrel for a beer/ale.

Sadly I learnt this the hard way.
