Hello all.
I got my first HomeBrew kit for Christmas (Youngs Larger kit) and so far so good. IT seems to taste rather nice
I do believe from reading a few threads on here that I should have left it longer before I started to drink it. I started by bottling (re-used Budweiser 330ml bottles) the larger after it had finished fermenting, but only managed to do just over half of the FV. Frankly I'm not looking forward to the whole cleaning and sterilisation process every time I want to bottle more beer so I'm wanting to buy a keg.
I presume the process is to let the fermentation process finish -> transfer to keg -> then drink as and when it's ready. Is this correct?
From what other people have said the King Kegs are a bit of a waste of time and I should just go for the cheaper ones with the C30 CO2 valve in the cap. The ones I have seen don't seem to have pressure valves so how would I know when to add more CO2 to the barrel?
I'm also thinking about the Cornelius Keg, and I've read to speak to Norm but before I bother him, can anyone give me a rough price for how much one of these may cost me.
Cheers folks, Crofty
