    Favourite dried lager yeast?

    Just out of interest. How do dry yeasts compare to liquid. I thought lager is one area where liquid shines through?

    Another Kegerator build

    Great to use what you had to hand. Will have to have a route around!

    Another Kegerator build

    In terms of your support for the kegs what did you use? Looks like a step set up with one on the flour and two above on the compressor?

    Kegerator. Build or buy?

    In terms of the frame to sit 3 kegs on could someone advise on what specs needed to support 3 cornies MDF ok? What thickness for sides and top? Will probably order it cut to go and glue it together.

    Do you go back to 3//8 to connect to manifold or keep with 3/16?

    Crushed grain shelf life

    Just reporting back on the initial thread. The crushed grain was 4 months old, and the brew is now a couple of months old and tastes great. nothing wrong with the malt profile. It’s nice and crisp with zero off flavours. Its proved to me that crushed grain lasts and therefore there is little...

    Kegerator. Build or buy?

    Does anyone use a reducer to put the gas through the drain whole? Wouldn’t that compromise the presure levels? if you were carboa ting at 15 to 20psi for example? or purging via the spare outlet on the manifold at 40 psi or something?

    Kegerator. Build or buy?

    Cheers, that’s pretty much all I need. given I’ve got a couple of those party taps with reducers, I could use those for beer line and not worry about a flow control tap. Just thought it would be neater as less tubing heated To go the flow control route. Very happy with the tap I now have...

    Kegerator. Build or buy?

    Just to clarify a bit. The Probe was for my ink bird temp controller. 3 flow control Ss taps with shafts, handles etc about £70 each so that’s 210. Add a manifold, regulator, drip tray, connections and tubing it al ads up! But I guess even if ot costs 350 that’s nearly half the price of the...

    Kegerator. Build or buy?

    The taps and shank sets MM recommend would come in at over 200 quid for 3. When you factor in manifold, regulator ( need a new one) and other stuff etc I guess looking at 3 to 400? Plus the fridge that could be used as a second fermenter chamber if I bought a kegerator. Something to think about...

    I’ll check out those kits. 👍

    Kegerator. Build or buy?

    This is probably the route I’ll take. I saw on the MM video posted above he used the reducers and put through the drain whole ( can my temp probe go through there too?)

    Corny/Regulator question

    Ok sounds like I’ll start up with a simple set up so I’m not overwhelmed and have the option of upgrading it later!

    Corny/Regulator question

    Could you not use just a single regulator and connect the beer gun to the manifold, and just switch off the other kegs at the manifolld when using the beer gun? I’m trying to work out how simply I can put together a kegerator!
