they are white rubber O rings - they are from the normal wwhite plastic barrels with a 2" neck (not like a king keg)

I have done them as tight as i can by hand - I havent had any problems before though?

I'm having some problems with the O ring in my pressure barrel. it is fitted with a S30 Hambleton Bard Co2 valve but when i tighten on to the barrel it kinks and thus doesnt seal properly so when i gas up i am getting an air leak. i have liberally applied vasaline to the cap thread and rubber O...

Has anybody tried this beer? it is probably my fav' beer of all time and it has just been crowned best beer in the land! How easy would it be to "clone" it? Currently it is only really available in the Nottingham area and unfourtunatly I don't get back there as often as I would like so would be...

Bottled first TC this evening, 1/2 tsp of sugar into the bottom of 500mm glass bottles - in with the fairly well cleared TC. Started at 1050 down to 998, had the remainder that didnt fill the last bottle and tasted really nice, allbeit warm ish and flat. How long should i be leaving them in...

I'm hoping to make the step up to making my own brews from scratch at some point but for the time being i'm sticking with the kits - i've done a bitter and am really pleased with the results given some of the horror stories on here. so maybe next year i'll give the real stuff a whirl. thanks...

Not so much problems now but seeking a bit of advice. The Coopers brewed out lowely in the end, added some finings and it cleared lovely before transfering to a barrel at the weekend. it is in the old brick out house which is around 18 degrees - is this too warm after the first week of...

So do you think the lack of a froth will be detremental to the brew? Surely it is fermenting well enough given the amount of activity through the air lock?

I know - another thread on turbo cider but having read all the others I can't find an answer to my question. Started my first ever TC off yesterday - 3.5l of pure apple juice, 50g of sugar 1 sachet of yeast and a tad of yeast nutrient. OG of 1050, checked it last night and there was a bit of...

i thought it was high, and from what i have read i thought that it should be about done now - hence the stir to kick it into life. how much longer would you expect it take to get it down to the required from now? thanks for advice!!

Right i've had a coopers european lager in the fv for 12 days now, it has been stuck at 1015 so tonight when i took a reading and it was still the same i decided to give it a good stir up to "wake up" the yeasties again with a view to using some finings to clear it before bottling if it goes to...

Ta for advice Corby brewer, Going to check with the hydrometer tomorrow - that'll be 6 days in the FV, how long do you think i should be expecting it to be in there?

Started this off on Sunday morning, used Coopers brew enhancer as recommended - have been keeping an eye on the air lock but there hasn't been any action as yet. It has been at a constant temp of around 20 degrees. I'm a little worried that it’s stuck. Any ideas / info would be greatly...

Hi Leicester Lad, Thanks for the advice, I thought that the Co2 injectors were mostly for use with lagers etc but if you say that they can be used with bitters I will invest in one this week. I did grease the rubber seal with some vaseline. I have set the keg to one side in the shed now and...

Hi All, Thought I would introduce myself as a new member. I purchased a Youngs starter kit a little while ago, and have recently got round to starting my first brew. The kit came with a Youngs "You Brew" bitter kit, i followed the instructions and all went well - it had been in the FV for 6...
