hi guys, i have been thinking for a while to keg a few beers instead of bottling. i dont have the space for a whole system but am curious about mini kegs. the home brew shop on line has them for about £8 for a 1 gallon keg. i woud buy the tap seperatly, bungs too but only if they can be washed...

i store mine in airtight kilner jars in a cool room. they have been there for just over two months and they still look and smell fresh. i was nervous as i dont have a freezer and this was the next best thing and it seems to be working out fine

Keeping it at a steady 12-14 in a dark cupboard, gonna leave it there for three weeks then two weeks at room tempreture to carbonate then about four weeks in a walk in fridge at work to condition. Like I say fingers crossed

this is a one gallon biab brew, hoping for a lager with a bit of background flavour if that makes sense: 500 grams lager malt 200 grams carapils malt 300 grams munich malt 5 grams saaz at 60 mins 2 grams saaz at 15 mins 2 grams saaz at 5 mins 20 grams saaz at turn off used mangrove...

yeah after the two weeks carbonating i took them to work and put them in the big walk in fridge, ill take them back and give it another couple of weeks and see if there is any difference. would opening the bottles and re capping them do anything ?

cheers, any tips on how best to avoid this ?

hi guys, opened one of my first biab beers last night ( a light lager made with lager malt, flaked maize and herbsbruker hops) conditioned it for two weeks at room temp then into the fridge at 3-5 oc for four weeks, tastes great and carbonation is good, only problem is when i went to pour it...

next time i place an order for hops and grain ill get some

yeah i was gonna dry hop with some saaz

great shout for the plastic bottle, i dont wanna keep losing beers while waiting on them, nice one

that would make sense cheers clibit, im looking forward to this kit, its had some good reviews and it will tide me over till biab brews are ready

no this is the first time brewing that kit, i have done the coopers heritage lager, youngs pilners and youngs harvest lager kits, one with brown suger and two with brew enhancer 2.

morning mate, this is from how to brew by john palmer, hope it helps: A foam will start to rise and form a smooth surface. This is good. If the foam suddenly billows over the side, this is a boil-over (Bad). If it looks like it is going to boil over, either lower the heat or spray the surface...

ok, reassuring that someone else has had this. any idea why it happens like this mate ?

morning guys, i have a coopers canidian blonde kit in the fv brewed with brew enhancer one. its been in the fv for 6 days now and the krausen is different from the other brews i have done (kits and biab) its realy thick and brown and hasnt fallen back yet into the wort. normally it would have...

well you were right joe, cracked one open and pretty flat, not completely but flat enough for me to bring out the fridge for another week. cheers for the advice mate

if i must i suppose one of the bottles could sacrifice themselves for the good of the group, opening will commence tonight, this is my first biab so ill let you know how it all goes

ah bugger no i have no way of checking. i take it then two weeks at room tempreture wont introduce any dubious flavours even though it was true lager yeast i used ? i can easy bring it out of the fridge for another week. cheers for the heads up lads

thats what i thought, surely you dont have to keep it constantly at fridge temp, if you do im goosed and will have to start drinking ales

hi guys, just a quick question here, i have bottled my first biab lager and kept it at room tempreture to carbonate for one week and have now shifted it in to the big walk in fridge at work to condition at work for 4 to 6 weeks 3oc to condition. my question is after this 4 week period can the...
