    Corny Keg newbie advice please!

    You might find you’ve drained all the CO2 from the cylinder, hence the freezing of the regulator.

    Polytunnel

    What do you grow in the poly tunnel in winter Clint? Years ago I came across a method of heating greenhouses, dig a hole slightly bigger than a bale of hay, drop a bale of hay in, chuck in blood and bone and water well, then cover with a good layer of soil. The bale warms up as it composts but...

    Our health again.

    For over 65's I don't think weights are necessary. Stick with body weight excersises. At 68 I learned to do handstand push-ups, albeit against the wall. Paralettes are a good piece of kit, easy to make and take up no room. Gymnastic rings are cheap and seriously good for maintaining/building muscle.

    The penny has dropped....

    Rhubarb gin, as per Clints recipe has turned out brilliant. Followed up with strawberry gin, 400gms strawberries, 150gms sugar, 750ml gin. And then blackberry gin using same quantities as for strawberries. All three have been amazing.

    Joining two gas manifolds...

    I don’t follow how you’re trying to join the manifolds, or why you need a left hand thread coupler. If you’re using 3/8” gas line from your regulator then put a John Guest “T” piece in lin to supply both manifolds.

    The penny has dropped....

    Made the rhubarb gin almost a month ago. Filtered and bottled it yesterday, very nice although I think I’ll reduce the sugar to 400gms next time. Making strawberry gin this week. 750 mls gin, 100 gms sugar and 400 gms strawberries, English ones of course.

    Is Co2 injection neccessary?

    I’ve also found that screwing slowly can give great results. Oops I may have gone off topic.

    Alexa.

    I set one up for an old lady who really struggles to walk, she can turn a light on in each of her rooms just by asking Alexa, she thinks it's fantastic. I can definitely see the benefits in these sort of cases.

    Security measures on fermentrack remote access

    I managed 10 last year at the age of 69. Did a freefall tandem jump three weeks ago after my 70th birthday.

    Cooler

    Definitely if it's free, if you don't end up using it you can probably get £100 for it.

    Is Co2 injection neccessary?

    Always screw it on as quickly as possible especially when you get to the point of resistance when the pin is going to pierce the capsule.

    Things I've seen when riding my bike

    Dutto, I can't believe that as an ex policemen you actually broke the law for all that time. I thought all policemen were 100% honest.:hat:

    Boris or Mr Johnson?

    Hi Chippy, I'm with you 100% regarding Jezza, I met him a couple of times and was impressed, but I'm afraid his lack of action over the last few months has changed my opinion, also caused me to leave the labour party.

    Are you religious?

    Chippy. My post was meant to be a play on words regarding the budgie

    Fermentation Fridge Build

    I think you're overloading the fridge, also the insulation doesn't like as if it's sufficient. Are you getting it close to airtight when you close it up? Is there plenty of ventilation around the heat exchanger piping at the back of the fridge? What's the ambient temperature in the brewtility room?
