    Where to buy good corny keg lids?

    How much is he charging for postage? BTW there is no english version but he does speak English.

    A hazy problem?

    Just ask yourself why dark beers and dark lagers ( yes there are quite a few ) are not fined. The anwer is that it makes no difference to the taste. It's just that the alcopops generation expect their drinks to be crystal clear, fizzy as hell and have no taste. Just as the Adman says take away...

    I find it much easier to batch prime. I dissolve 80gr sugar in hot water and when I can no longer see any grains of sugar I stir it thoroughly into the beer and then barrel or bottle it. Yes it it is too late to add the spray malt this time.

    Look at the weight of malt extract in your kit and add 5-10% by weight of this spray malt when you mix in the water and hopefully you will see an improvement in head retention. I would advise that you boil it in a little water before adding it to reduce the risk of bacterial infection. If this...

    I have just noticed that you are extract brewing so therefore a slight addition of this should improve head retention. http://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/index.ph ... ductId=477

    What recipe are you using? A small addition of wheat malt or wheat flour will help with head retention.

    Quote: 80g and 120g are you kidding ? 80g for an ale but upto 120g for a fizzy ale while a lager will want about 150g plus easily , my wheats beers have 150g sometime more (all 23l brew.) Unquote I brew very good lager's and wheat beers with less than 100grs of priming sugar

    saw one of these today Brew-Magic V350MS

    Why not spend a third of the money on a 50L Braumeister which makes approximately the same amount and takes up a quarter of the space.

    Don't be impatient. Leave bottles for six weeks to condition. Barrels condition much quicker in two to three weeks and I agree with slowbrewer batch prime with 80grs sugar if its beer and as much as 120grs if it's lager. 7-10 days at 20° the rest of the time at about 12-15° if you can manage...

    Priming sugar question.

    If you are only half filling a keg hopefully it has got a gas injector because you will have to loosely fit the cap and give it a squirt of gas to expell the air inside otherwise it will oxidise. BTW 40grs of sugar is about right. edit: should read 'to fit loosely' we must not split infinitives...

    Quote: "Why they use malt sirup is beyond me" Unquote Hi Captain Perhaps there is amber malt in it! Anyway I am going to meet a hop farmer who supplies S&N at the beginning of July and I will ask him to try and find out the truth. Top marks by the way for spotting the origin of the recipe. I...

    Help with beer bottling

    Best bet is to batch prime and then you can bottle or barrel or both.

    I don't think so! That smoky taste comes from somewhere. Try this one it's a dead ringer. It' for a 50L brewlength so halve everything for 25L SPITFIRE Date: Gyle Number: Fermentable Colour lb: oz Grams Ratio Pale Malt 7 EBC 16 lbs. 8.5 oz 7500 grams 75% Amber Malt 60 EBC 1 lbs. 1.6 oz 500...

    In fact it's easier than that. With crystal malt and black malt you can boil them with the hops as they do not need to be mashed. Read Graham Wheelers book or Dave Lines Brewing Beers Like Those you Buy everything is clearly explained in them. Edit: Don't buy a kit buy the engredients...
