Thannks Mark It's more the method than the chemicals, I don't always have an empty cornie keg when I want clean the tap and pipes. Thats why a pressure sprayer with a cornie post on it came to mind, could still use beer line cleaner in it. Maybe I shoudl drink more so I alway have a Cornie...

Now my tap is installed through a wall and not easy to dismantle I'm thinking of easy ways to keep my beer line clean without spending a fortune I could just use a cornie, stick some cleaner it, pressurise it and put the tap on it, clean the tap then do the same with clean water but this an...

Sounds interesting, I was planning a stout next - what's the recipe and how do you use the pods?

problem solved - there was no O-ring on the post! Must try and wear the specs more :oops:

no idea who these people are however I think this how the shed will look soon ;)

On one cornie beer seeps out when I put the QD on it, doesn't seep on other kegs so I think its the O-ring on the post so I'll swap out the o-ring today. if it's not a personal question, do you lube your ring with this stuff :D

apologies :oops: is there a standard shiny alert warning I can use?

when i was a youth and brewing in the bedroom, i had a Geordie kit brewing in the FV, it stunk like satan's bottom, obviously had an infection in it. I somehow thought it would be a good idea to kill it by sprinkling in a couple of teaspoons of sodium met. Stupid idea! the thing foamed up like...

I think Japanese Kobi beef cattle are massaged and fed on beer - the beef is very expensive and supposedly very tender however I bet the cow's farts are rancid :sick: The neighbour sell his cows at Gisburn market for final fattening, I wonder if he would notice if I stole the occasional back...

Cheers JP! I spend an extra hour on a brewday giving everything an extra wash with oxygen based cleaner - a bit of a pain but worth it for piece of mind. I'll stop this after the next brew, probably being paranoid but wanted to get a some beer set aside first.

Had a few friends around last night and supped a Cornie dry and started tucking into another There were comments like "best beer I've had for a long time" and "have you thought of doing it commercially" and "when's your next party" Fair brings a tear to my eye - sniff :grin: Looks like I...

I usually just neck it however here's how it should be done

Once I've transferred the wort to the FV I leave it to settle a bit then drop any trub out of the bottom before pitching the yeast

look at this thread - its has some info on converting promash recipes to beersmith - not perfect but a start. :thumb:

Making my mouth water looking at those ribs - nice with an APA me thinks :cheers: Just got my smoker - I believe your supposed to give it a firing without food first to get rid of any deposits left from manufacturing that may taint the food so I'm going out to start it up soon.

My second hand gas grill is showing its age, the wind got hold of its cover and blew the lot around the yard a few times. Which has gven me an excuse to buy the smaller Weber smokey mountain, its coming tomorrow :party: . Don't tell SWMBO that I can probably fix the grill ;) I will need this...
