I did for a short time before buying corny kegs, I used a wilko pressure barrel with a shraeder valve drilled into the lid. This allowed me to link it up to my co2 bottle. The valve type I used was similar to these...

Hi, im in the process of buying all of the bits and pieces to build a control box for my brewing. So far I have an ITC100VH with the SSR and heatsink, a k coupler which I will probably swap for the PT100 sensor. I have also bought a solar pump which is 24v 5M 800LPH. Next thing on the list...

Hi guys with xmas quickly approaching, I thought I'd share what I done last year to force carb PB's. I used one of the items below drilled into the lid of a PB it worked out really well and pressurised without any problems. I used a tyre valve downline from my regulator however those that use...

Having just put a morello cherry cider on to ferment which is smelling really good nearing the end of fermentation, it's got me wondering if using a woodefords wherry with 500G of cherries is a good idea. I like the sweetness of a wherry and I think it would suit it. What's the general opinion...

I put this on to brew today along with the hip hop IPA which I suspect is going to be the punk IPA clone. Hope it matures quickly for christmas!

I've got this and hip hop IPA ready to brew for Xmas! Looks tasty, let me know how it turns out for you, I'm thinking of adding 'bottle A' when it's clear and goes into the the corny to get more of that hop aroma out.

That looks awesome, cheers!

Ok thanks guys think I think I will leave it as is and go the route that ManseMasher spoke about.

Forgot to mention, yes it's a big pub bottle :(

Oh well that's that out of the window then. It's just very hard for me to see exactly what psi the corny is currently under for serving. Current regulator does it but there's always a bit of fiddling until it's right. My regulator is this one...

Am I right in thinking that my regulator pressure gauge (out) can be swapped for one that has a smaller increments ie a 0-30 psi one that would be better for my needs. What will happen if I do accidentally exceed the max stated 30psi, is it just a case of it will just constantly read 30psi even...

Im new to brewing wines however I have collected the following fruit: *2.7kgof blackberries *200g of elderberries *600g of sloes Has anyone got a a recipe that I can use these ingredients to make a few bottles of decent wine? I do fancy adding a few passion fruits to it for the citric acid and...

I'm thinking of visiting snowdon soon, what was the zip line like? That new artificial surf complex looks excellent! Next big bucket list tick will hopefully be Monaco on a Grand Prix day! Would love that!

What's on your tick lists? I've always wants to see the aurora borealis and missed a really good chance to last night, definitely going to catch it next time!

good tip ManseMasher, will do!

Ok cheers guys I thought pulling the fermenter out of the fridge to room temperature would suffice for a diacetyl rest? I probably will fit a heater of some sort soon or later but so long as it will work as intended for now I'm happy. Does the brew bug start with a brew fridge? if so I think...

Hi all, my fridge whilst turned off consistently reaches 15c and as I only ever make ales or sometimes lagers, is it necessary for me to add a heater? Do I just leave the heating part of the wiring blank or will that stop the stc1000 doing its job?

Hi, I don't know if this is the correct place to post this but I have a large co2 bottle from a pub and I also have a soda stream. I'm making a kegerstor but I don't have enough room to put the pub gads bottle in there. What would I need to be able to refill my soda stream bottle via my large...

Hi all, have been brewing about two years and have now taken the plunge and bought a cornelius keg after about 3 all grain brews. My question is what do I need to look for when looking for a regulator? I have a fair bit of experience with compressed air but not co2. Is it just that it is the...
