It might be worth posting a photo and stating what make it is. Is it a kegland mini regulator by any chance? Also could be worth emailing the supplier for their advice 👍

Do you have any small breweries locally? If so, give them a call, or even better pop in - I am sure they'd be happy to sort you out.

I use a 150mbar regulator, which is about 2.2psi. I don't use a sparkler and the head seems to persist. (I also have a swan neck beer engine). My setup is based on Peebee's treatise.

The last couple of times I have been there have been many empty shelves and it's been hard to find what I need. Also the homebrew section is now a third of the size it used to be with a much reduced offering (only really kits, yeast and buckets).

Phew, that's lucky. I've got my bottle labels and shipping label printed. Just need to get mine bottled up, before I finish the keg!

Drinking my entry to the UK National. Seriously need to bottle some before it's all gone!

I bought those shown in the OP and had the issues, so have a feeling they're not stainless steel. And yes, they are a pig to clean and dry properly asad1 @Little Rock Brewing - it is refreshing to hear someone say they enjoy bottling :laugh8:

They're ok, though I consider them not re-usable and thus uneconomical. They can only be used for ales/low-carbonated beers. They require very careful/delicate cleaning due to the thin coating on the inside that protects the metal. Once open, you only have a couple of days to drink it before it...

Do give a good clean prior to first use - there will be residues etc from the manufacturing process that you'll probably want gone. I can't remember what I used on mine - maybe ChemClean.

Yes, that's right

That's good to hear. I've done a couple of youngs kits in the past and was fairly happy with them. There are also some excellent "premium" kits around that have 2 cans of malt extract.

After following this thread last year I today used purple line cleaner on 5 taps on keezer/kegerator and my beer engine, as well as my 2 party taps and jumper line. I must admit, I expected them to be dirtier than they were, although each has only had about 1 or 2 keg loads of beer through them...

What's the need for the post on lid? I imagine it's maybe so you don't have to remove the original dip tube? I know this doesn't help, but I bought a few of the dip tubes to replace the dip tube, and I thought they weren't that great to be honest and have since replaced the dip tubes. I didn't...

It might not be too helpful a response, but I would look to get the issue of condensation in your loft sorted. Sounds like there may not be adequate ventilation?

You lucky, lucky, lucky person. Whoever gave you those, keep them in your life! I can't add to what has been said - I also would recommend Brewkegtap. As Rod said, you won't look back!

That's good to know. I shall stick with the original category.

I just realised I made a mistake in my original post - the FG is lower. So the ABV is 0.1% higher than the guidlines, so maybe I shall indeed be ok. Annoyingly I think there is a mistake in the recipe I used in that the yeast is more attenuative than the author believed, as both my brew and...

My entry has ended up with a lower OGFG than expected so will have to change the category I enter as the ABV is now too high for the original category :(

Nice one. I find it's hard to keep records when you're enjoying the end result athumb..

Agreed, go with unwelded. They're simply refering to how it has been reconditioned. A good quality keg will only need a good clean and new o-rings, maybe new posts too. Answer is in the post before yours athumb..
