    How to remove bottle labels the easy way.

    Most German breweries use water soluble adhesive for their bottles because there is a deposit charged on bottles and they are re-used rather that recycled.

    Festival kit not bubbling

    I made a Festival Landlord kit a few months ago. My recommendation, having tasted it, would be to throw yours away now, and save a lot of work. I managed to drink about 40% of mine before deciding I really could'nt take any more.

    Beer kits

    I bought three kits at the beginning of the year when ill health prevented me from doing my usual AG brewing: two Festival kits and a Wherry. All three have found their way down the drain without being fully consumed - the one that lasted longest was a Festival Landlord's Bitter, but even that...

    Blichmann Therminator

    They are probably US garden hose fitting, which is very different from the BSP / NPT sizes used for just about anything else. It is possible to buy adapters to convert from US garden hose to BSP - I had some on a chiller a while back but cannot remember where I bought them, but it was definitely...

    Help with Pale clarity

    Not true! I kegged a pale beer yesterday which had been dry hopped with 30g of Ahtanum for six days. No cold crashing but fined with 1 teaspoon of gelatin. Today it is crystal clear in the keg (I use a dip tube).

    I had one of their IPA kits - it was terrible and went down the drain.

    Pressure fermenting

    That explains how I finished up with a Snub Nose Gen.3 with a defective thermowell.

    Pressure fermenting

    As long as it is in an Apollo it will be fine. As our vulpine antipodean will be quick to tell you it is using Kegland fermenters which produces rubbish beer.

    Pressure fermenting

    Just as well pressure fermenters are not unique to Kegland or things could get really heated.

    Apollo PRV's

    Based on the older snub nose, my recommendation for using the dry hop port is don't!

    Chemclean Residue?

    I never use sodium percarbonate for more than about 20 minutes - after that, in hard water it starts to break down into sodium carbonate (washing soda) and chalk (which is insoluble in water). It is the precipitated chalk which gives the deposit. I have found that the easiest and cheapest way to...

    First time Corny keg user

    I fitted liquid posts to my existing keg lids - it just requires drilling a 13mm hole, which will be easy for some forum members, but perhaps not for others (I used a pillar drill and titanium coated drill bit).

    Dry hop port on Apollo snub nose

    If it is the same as the hop port on the Snub Nose Gen.3, it is a complete waste of time - just a marketing gimmick. The only way is to release the pressure, remove the lid, drop the hops in as quickly as possible, replace the lid and re-pressurise. It is important not to allow the krausen to...
