91 pages on using 5L mini-kegs? @Chippy_Tea any chance of a pinned summary / guide on how to use mini-kegs? I'm off to start reading from page 1.

I saw those and that's what made me nervous. But re-reading them, I think the main concern is that you can't fit them to a supermarket 5l keg, because there is no hole in the keg's top bung. I 'think' that might not be a problem if you are using for home-brew and have replaced the top bung with...

My lad is looking at buying one of these so that he and his mates can dispense cold beer...

Thanks. Maybe I'll have a look at making one. My DIY skills bit rubbish and bit worried I'll kink it or something.

I'm fed up of trying to cool my brews in a sink of cold water and ice. Thought I'd get myself a wort chiller. Does anyone have one of these Benco ones from Amazon? The seller seems pretty good, happy to adjust dimensions to suit. Any recommendations or advice much appreciated...

Many thanks. I'm going to have a go at the Greg Hughes Dortmunder Export (5.1%) tomorrow.

Thanks for this @MickDundee, I'm doing my lager tomorrow and think I will follow your routine. How do you alter your 1C time based on ABV, colour, and keg/bottle? longer for higher abv?

Thanks. I've done a few ciders from cartons, and they were OK. I like your idea of adding hops. Might try that some time. One thing I found was even with fairly cheap cartons of apple juice, the cost of my home made carton cider was getting close to that of a bought cider. And the homemade...

That's interesting thanks, I'll watch out for that. I did three batches of cider from apples. The first 2 batches I bottled straight from the primary FV. One I carbonated, and one I have bottled without priming sugar for still cider. (The third batch I have transferred to a second FV for a long...

Thanks for all the replies to this question. This year I made my 1st batch of cider from apples. I bottled the 1st demijohn last week, and was blown away by the flavour at bottling. If this ages into something even nicer this cider is going to be awesome. (I'm going to leave it bottled until...

I still think that a short break, or just a change, helps to reset the wow factor. I come back to a drink I've not had for a while and I notice flavours more and remember why I loved it. Just thought I'd post this cos I am drinking a glass of cheap red wine (first red wine since last Christmas)...

Do you think the end result tastes the same?

I've been thinking about upgrading Brewfather to premium. I really like the app, but was just too tight to part with real money for premium anything. But I guess you gotta support things you like, and the 25% Black Friday offer sealed the deal.

Same :rolleyes:

You haven't developed hop tolerance from drinking too many lovely hoppy brews have you? I think hops are like heroin and you have to keep increasing the dosage to keep getting that wow factor. But yeah, go AG. It is awesome and you will make awesome beers.

Does anyone have an *****'s guide to brewing lagers with bottom fermenting yeast? Or can anyone point me to a thread on this? I've got my brew fridge working and am thinking of trying a lager. But just trying to get my head around how to do it. What fermentation temperature and time; do you...

At least they didn’t deliver rice or cat food instead of your PS5. Did you go digital, or get one with a disk drive?

Has anyone managed to get hold of a PS5 this weekend?

Love that song. My favourite Bowie song.

Impressive. How do you collect the CO2 and what do you do with it?
