I was wondering how you have connected up the drain tap if you are able to drain out the cylinder?

On the Orange Gose tonight keeping the dragons company. Very pleased how this came out at the first try. In fact I liked it so much I bought a book acheers.

It might be worth waiting for a second pour directly after the first as the tap will be warm to start with, causing the CO2 to come out of solution. The beer will cool the tap down.

I would go with adding some of the dark de-husked malts such as Cara 3, Midnight Wheat or Black Prinz. They can be added to the mash but can also be used as a cold steep. I use these for my Black IPA where I need the colour but not the roastiness. I find a 30 minute steep works best.

The following beers sent to @Cowman and @moto748 were from me. Dark Embrace Stout, Floodscross Gose, Riwaka Gold and Last Chance Brown Ale. It was lucky I had a few different beers available to send this year and I managed to get the three PET bottles packaged and kept under the Royal mail 2kg...

I got a bottle last week and it had gone up from £26 to £32

Usually about 3 days if I am in a hurry. Again it is dependent on how often you turn on the gas. I often leave it a bit longer to settle. I have never used the rolling technique as I don't want to get beer in the gas-in tube, one bit less to clean out.

I would probably look at 20psi but saying that I don't use the rolling method. I tend to pressurise to 30psi and switch the gas off and then re-pressurise now and then until the head space levels out at about 15psi. Time wise this varies depending on temperature and the amount of head space in...

Yes you can still force carb but you may need less PSI as you have more gas in the headspace

I would take a trip down your local pub/supermarket/beer shop and buy a few pints/cans/bottles of different styles. There are loads to choose from nowadays and you should find some you like without having 40 pints of one you don't like. You can then buy a suitable kit or AG recipe.

It will be fine as the head space will be a CO2 atmosphere. But just bear in mind it will carb up quicker as there is more head space.

Would be interesting to see what the recipe was and the mash temps etc (OG and FG)

Before buying that part check the condition of the piston shaft. Mine was badly scored so would not have sealed even with the new gland. I ended up having to get a complete new cylinder and piston assembly.

My second beer was a 12.2% Quad Big hiss on opening and a bit of a gusher, but I managed to save most of it. A strong flavour as you would expect but the alcohol didn't overpower it. It was also lighter than it looks in the photo. A very nice beer that also disappeared much too quickly. Thank...

I'll kick things of with a Festive Fireside Ale. A lovely dark beer with a hint of Christmas spice. Crystal clear with a cracking head. Really enjoyed this and :hat:to the brewer. (only problem was it disappeared too quickly :onechug:)

I am not familiar with the pint365 but would check the hose from the cylinder to the tap if you can get it off. Looking at their website I would guess the cylinder is a sealed unit as they sell a replacement unit but not a seal kit. It may well be worth getting in touch with them to see what...

Probably just the fresh air as long as you don't wrap it up as 'packaging' is on the banned list as well as flammable goods. asad1
