The more I drink the closer I get to making a saving!

My brew setup has cost about £3k + 10 kegs at £50ea + keezer build at about £300 + fermenters and fridges about £400 + all the other bits and pieces about £400. Im almost breaking even now (thats what I tell my wife)...

Remember to keep them in the dark if using clear plastic bottles.

A lot of people use non food grade CO2 but I wouldnt take the risk. The Co2 put into the bottles is the same gas but there are far less controls over the filling of the cylinders so you could have many different contaminants in it. I had a quick look on Hobby weld website, there is a supplier...

Thanks for all the entries!!! this is going to be a big one Good few more arrived last couple of days. This is definitely going to be spread out a bit... as in my original post judging is supposed to be next weekend, Im going to do a few throughout the week and will probably not manage all by...

I imagine both ways work well and any difference would not be noticeable on a homebrew scale. Anyone testing the two methods would need to use wort from the same batch and ferment under the same conditions, then a difference may be detectable. When I use liquid yeasts I use a stir plate as this...

Ye, these would work fine. You will need a regulator and tap for each one. If you are brewing regularly then worth getting a large CO2 cylinder and a sodastream refill adapter as refills are expensive for sodastream. The sodastream regulator I have can convert to take the mini bulbs which...

Is this a kit? Did you follow the instructions exactly? If so then it is likely that the OG measurement you took was wrong, probably not mixed fully before you took a sample. If the amount of sugar and water added was correct then the OG should have been within a couple of points of the expected...

Ye, doesnt show on their website but the ones I get definitely are food grade, just make sure to request food grade when buying them, hopefully your local one will stock it or at least will get it in for you. I actually have 2 now as I have one plumbed into to keezer and one upside down in the...

I got my first cylinder from them then they bumped their prices stupidly high and I found a supplier about 5 miles from where I live so never used them again. One thing I never noticed with Gas Uk is although the delivery is free you need to pay to have the empty picked up, think it was either...

This is my point, you need 3/16" instead of 3/8". I did a quick calculation - using keg at 12 psi you need either: 2.6m 3/16" or 33.5m 3/8" I found that the calculations gave longer than required but used them as a starting point then kept trimming a bit off until I got a fast pour without too...

If even half the people who asked for my address send a beer Ill probably be closer to a week! Think I might do one super strong beer each night Mon to Thur then try to get a good few in at the weekend. I want to give decent feedback so would prefer to spread it out rather than try to write...

Probably too late now if you got rid of them but 3/16" lines would almost definitely have solved your problem. You need about 20m of 3/8" to reduce foaming properly.

For those buying carbonation drops for the consistency, try something like this If you know the correct weight of sugar you should use then just weigh how much sugar fills a level spoon and use the closest one and a funnel. Probably just as easy as sugar sachets too, and cheapest method of...

Happy to try anything.... unless it is really rank then I will drink it :cool:
