Living in Spain I can see the advantages of having an ID card. The main ones being you don't have to have your passport to travel, or if whilst on holiday you lose your passport you can still get home. Coz I'm a Brit I just have my passport so neither of these advantages applies to me which I...

How much are we talking for one of these? I'd probably get a small one as space is an issue in our flat.

No worries, thanks anyway :)

Great, so if let's say I think I may have taken too long to fill my keg and I think too much air got in would attaching the Partystar and then giving it a blast of co2 be a good idea? Thanks :)

Just wondering, once you attach the party star to your keg is that keg now "open" and at risk of oxidation or does the tap still keep it sealed shut?

For me (a very new brewer) the 2 things that have helped me the most so far have been leaving it to ferment for at least 2 weeks and joining this forum (very cheesy I know!!). Learning from more experienced brewers and not being afraid to ask "daft" questions has helped me loads!! Been really...

100% trying this in the near future!!

Could you leave the yeast to dry in the sun? Obviously covered from bugs etc.

hahah Sadly the manual was a series of pictures

Yeah mine has that too but it's hollow, there was a piece of plastic inside that made the hole even smaller but I dug it out because I thought it shouldn't be there. WhatsApp Image 2020-02-07 At 18.53.21 by BradleyW posted Feb 7, 2020 at 6:57 PMWhatsApp Image 2020-02-07 At 18.53.30 by BradleyW...

That was my hunch too but wanted to double check with folk on here. Thanks

btw I have another question about these, you know the black tube that you breach the keg with? Does anyone else's have something inside it to make the hole smaller?

Evening all, as my brother is a hipster he has started making his own Kombucha instead of brewing beer. We were chatting about the potential for alcohol to be present in the homemade stuff. Does anyone know of a way to test homemade kombucha for alcohol content?

I've been asking about brewing possibilities for warmer temperatures (my pantry is already up to 23c) and Saison was one of the names that kept cropping up. So last weekend I bought one to try as I can't remember what the last one I had tasted like (was a bit merry at that point). I thought it...

Ahhh I hadn't heard that. I'll do some more research on it

I got one of these for xmas and even though I've only used it once, I'm happy with it. From the looks of it the CO2 cartridges are the same as the ones you have to inflate bike tyres so I am just going to buy from a bike shop.

I do like hoppy beers but you're right it's getting a bit samey

I've always bottled straight from the FV but thought maybe a second bucket would mean less "bits" in the bottles. But after reading this from much more seasoned brewers, reckon I'll stick to the straight from the FV method!

true. asad1

I also have one of those things you put over the neck of a wine bottle and then use it to suck the air out. Not sure if that would be worthwhile whilst bottling??
