I kegged some kit made cider in my cornie bout 6 weeks ago and had a few teething problems using widget world gas. So i upgraded to a pub gas and regulator lengthened the beer line and uped the pressure to 40 psi.

Then i must admit ive been tht busy i kinda forgot about it, but i just had a cheeky pint and i defy anyone to say it is not as good as any shop/pub bought counterparts its brilliant.
Going Cornie is definately the best move in my home brew experience only problem is now i want more..... :twisted: :twisted:

a cornelius keg origionally used for fizzy soft drinks but adapted for home brew. It is connected to a pub gas and can hold pressures of up to 100psi for force carbonating brews. :thumb:

OK I'm going to embarrass myself I guess but what's "cornie"?

At last, something I know!

A Cornelius keg is a stainless steel keg, typically used by pubs to store soft drinks. It can be used for high-pressure carbonisation.

They're about £120 new, but you can pick up refurbished ones for about £60.

EDIT: Look here, there's even a great thread about them! Icky wicky let's get clicky!

Noooooooooooooooo, victory stolen! :|

3-2-1 clear! Zap!

Ok, now I've revived the old thread...

jonboymentalhealth, how long was the drink in the keg under pressure? Unfortunately I only have until Saturday when the drink is to be served.

Does anyone else know a good amount of time to get a good amount of fizz into a drink? Not so much fizz as to make it hard to drink though, or get everyone (girls) bloated! :P
 
I have been brewing under a year so far, other than tweeking everything from yeast, malts, sugar etc.
Patience is the one vital tool to the home brewer( yep read that some where) and its true.
just keep brewing allow 2 month lead time and your on the right road. :thumb: :cheers:

right i need more kegs. ;)
