    1st time keg user….FOAM!

    From what I have read on here everyone makes it sound easy but in reality it’s another skill to learn. At least I’m better informed now and can soon have a nicely poured beer rather than a keg of foam. The kegs now set @10psi giving it a nice burp when I can. I’ll leave it another week and see...

    1st time keg user….FOAM!

    I have to admit this has reinforced the fact this brewing lark isn’t easy as people make it sound. But if I had researched just a little more I could have been drinking a nice cold carbonated beer right now. It looks like I'm going to have to bring forward my own kegerator, I promise no thread...

    Easy enough to do. Cheers.

    @MickDundee excuse my ignorance but what do you mean burping?

    1st time keg user….FOAM!

    Brewfather guidelines were 1.1bar @10c for a week. I followed that but had foamy flat beer. Then cranked it to 30psi and reduced temp to 8c. The tap is connected directly to the keg via a ball lock connector but even with the FC almost closed it’s still foam. It’s currently sitting @8c and 18...

    1st time keg user….FOAM!

    I finally got around to kegging a beer, great. I washed it, sterilised it and did a closed transfer with no problems. I followed Brewfather’s force keg guidelines and after a week I had flat beer and foam. I boosted the co2 to 30 psi, more foam. I’ve agitated the beer (youtube vids) even worse...

    Equipment Wanted 1.5kg or 3.15kg co2 canister.

    Thanks @RichardM I’ve managed to get my name down for a 3.15kg bottle at my local Adams gas stockist. Not too local but near enough to friends and the in-laws. I’ve also tried eBay for an empty but I haven’t found anyone local to fill an empty, everyone I speak to just swap empties for full.

    Equipment Wanted 1.5kg or 3.15kg co2 canister.

    I’ve been trying to get some co2 for my first kegerator. But I’m having trouble getting some small co2 canisters, everywhere I’ve tried in the Edinburgh area stars selling at 6kgs. I don’t suppose anyone has as small canister they’re not using anymore they’re willing to sell? Many thanks

    Nice one @Rwilts I knew it wouldn’t take long for someone to come up trumps.

    The Dummies' Guide to Brewzilla

    There are people who have blanked off the overflow pipe hole with a bolt and done away with the pipe and top screen altogether. I like to do it myself but can’t remember what size to get.

    Sparge bucket.

    Cheers @Begbie you’ve just changed my mind for me. It also helps with saving space as well.

    Sparge bucket.

    I’ve been thinking of using a food grade bucket with lots of holes drilled in the bottom for sparging. I’ve got a Brewzilla and currently use a jug to pour my sparge water over my mash. I finish the sparge a little quickly and think a bucket on top of the malt pipe with lots of little holes over...

    Very neat Anna, much better than the picture I had in my head.

    Corny/Regulator question

    Thanks Anna, nice advice. I might just look into them.

    Anyone tried the Crossmyloof AG kits?

    Thanks, I’ve ordered the kit and added 100g of harlequin to with it.

    Corny/Regulator question

    Thanks everyone. By the looks of it both are viable but I think I’ll go down the manifold route. They look quite cheap and are a bit more adjustable.

    Corny/Regulator question

    I’m about to get my second Corny and I was wondering if you can add a ‘y’ and feed Co2 to two kegs instead of getting a new regulator. I know I would have to serve at the same psi but for the brews inside that wouldn’t be a problem. This would only be a short term fix.
