I got a standard ODL regulator from Brewkegtap (Johnny) on eBay. He supplied it with an adaptor so that I could use Sodastream as well as full size pub CO2 bottles. Great service and good price too.

I got my last corny from HBC, £44 delivered and it came within the week. Top service.

12L India Helles Lager 5L Cloudy Apple Cider 12881+ 17 = 12898 Litres

12L of the Camden Town India Helles Lager clone from the Brew book by Euan Ferguson. Sort of... First attempt at a lager as I haven't wanted it taking up months in the brew fridge. So I'm going to attempt the Brulosophy quick lagering method. It's an expensive recipe though, so I hope it works...

I use www.bes.co.uk for all my fittings.

As has been said above, I think you are at risk of exploding glass bottles . My cider usually finishes at a gravity of 1.000. 1.028 is very high meaning there is a great deal of sugar left in solution. The yeast is still consuming these remaining sugars and creating CO2 in volumes far greater...

Meeting is at 19:00 sat but we are there till 11 (often later!) We set brew challenges just for fun, but you don't have to attempt them, just bring a bottle of something to share and have a chinwag about brewing. Check out The York Craft Ale Exchange Homebrew Club on Facebook.

Welcome to the Forum! North Yorkshire is a big place, but if you are anywhere near York we have a really friendly Homebrew Club that meet every couple of months. Meeting this coming Saturday at BrewYork. :)

The theory goes that you need a little less sugar because you have less total headspace than when using 40 or so bottles. However, I'm usually a little short of a full 19L keg because I tend to brew around 14 - 15L. I just use the same amount of sugar as when bottling. If you over carbonate a...

No more kits for us in York :( https://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/16981485.large-fire-at-store-on-clifton-moor/

Hi, welcome to the forum! All the advice you could ever need here. Enjoy your brewing journey :)

That's great value. Cheapest I can find in York area is £55 fully refundable deposit on the bottle and £14 +VAT for a 3kg fill. Still I'm happy enough with £17 a fill for 10 to 12 cornies. Will last me a year at least .

Hi and welcome to the forum! There is a Gamma ray recipe in the Brewdog Craft Beer for the People book which is where I got it from. It's next up on my brew schedule. My top tip to making better beer would be to get fermentation temperature control as soon as you can. Temperature fluctuations...

That's an interesting question! So far I have emptied two Sodastream bottles and not managed to fully dispense one keg... That's £40 of CO2!! However, this is down to my failings and getting used to the sytem. The first tank I overtightened the adaptor and split the rubber sealing ring. The...

I got set up with a reconditioned corny keg, standard regulator (so I can upgrade to pub size CO2 bottle later) with an adaptor for Sodastream bottles, beer line, picnic tap, gas line and disconnects for £129 from Brewkegtap. If you went for an un reconditioned keg from Home Brew Company you...

I've seen someone do it (possibly on here) with a gas disconnect that has cotton wool stuffed in the end to form a breather, them the pump is connected up to the beer out post...

Sounds perfectly fine to me. It should turn out to be a great beer (everything I've attempted from that book has been). Relax, go with the flow and enjoy your brewing :) As has been said above, leave it two weeks from pitching then take a hydrometer reading to see where you are. My airlock...

Works ok for me. I just downloaded... Maybe try again?

Agree with LeeH above. Works for me and has very little wastage.

Released on their behalf in error... Well if that's the case, they might regret outsourcing that particular task.
