After showing the wife all my new gear. And letting her try the cider and lager i have done she asked where i was going to store all of this as having 40x1l bottles kicking about is a bit much. I said I have a plan for that. DA DA DAAAAA showed her the Corni Keg...... After her looking at it...

I have the same smell on all the ones i have done but i wouldnt say it was really bad. I just put it down to being a home brew. If you open a tin of cider it does smell the same right at the start but it does go away quite quickly. But the recent ones i have done all taste ok so nose peg for...
