    Grainfather G-40 info

The g40 on the other hand is way too expensive 10 litres more than the g30 and 400 odd more expensive. One...

    CO2 purging barrels/cornys. How do you do it?

    I asked a question recently about collecting fermentation gasses. On my next brew in the fermentersaurus I’m going to connect the gas in on the fermenter to a empty sterilised corny keg then keep that for purging purposes cheaper than co2
