Horses for courses, but I find it much easier to sit the barrel on a flat surface, if it's rounded on the bottom and the little feet are off the ground it's carbing up. I'd check it sooner than a week though, around 3 days in the warm and it should be showing. As Gareth said CO2 cylinders are...

Wot Dave said!!

Pretty much yeah!! :rofl: It helps clear your brew dropping the yeast out.

Chill there young cloughie :grin: if it's all gassed up you'll be fine, some people over tighten the cap thinking it will make a better seal only to find a gas leak. Yes your valve will have a prv. Enjoy.

Exactly how I do it pat, I dry hop when ferments finished, cold crash and then syphon into barrel or bottles. The Festival filter bag for the syphon is a real bonus.

My tuppence worth would be maybe chill it longer.

True. But it doesn't say much for their customer service/attitude and as an ex :-D worker in the industry for 16 years I can tell you it's the tip of the 'berg.

Hi Cloughie A warm welcome to a fellow Imp (I'm in exile up here lol) Your pretty much bang on with you ideas. I keep my in the house to condition, 2 weeks ish. The cool temp is serving temperature so under 10 ideally. I keep mine in the fridge, but this time of year a garage/shed should be...

Warm it up give it a stir and it should come down a bit more.

Yarbourgh.....

+1 Topping up with the cool water from a height also works

I was going to sign up to twitter until I read your last sentence :-( Looks like another hour on hold trying to get my money back #theRAnGE :rolleyes:
