Looks a great beer!

First brew for a mont while, nice crisp lager

Afternoon all Hope everyone and their families are doing well during these crazy times. Ok so my next brew day is coming up, I’m going for a Mango IPA, similar to a shindigger. This is mt current recipe but open to suggestions and amendments: 4.5kg of Maris otter 900g Vienna 100g crystal 120...

Thanks for all the help again fellas. Just pulled the first one through, really nice carbonation on it, right white as snow head, little chill hazed but I did stick some gelatine in yesterday so hoping it clears up slight. Though the haze doesn’t bother me at all, it’s more the non-homebrewer...

1 last random question that I’ve never got around to asking anyone, or really researching properly. What do I need to connect some hosing to the tap and the keg connector? These two in the picture connect to one another but if I want a bit of line in between what do I need to go for?

Cheers buddy, it’s all coming back to me now. It’s in the fridge at around 3c so I’ve stuck her on at 30psi and will wait til tonight, drop it down to serving and have a look (taste!), then stick her back on 30psi until tomorrow

I’ve ordered 2 sets tbh as I ordered these ones and then someone suggested I needed nylon, so I’ve got those ones too. BUT these are the ones that have just solved my issue https://www.co2supermarket.co.uk/regulator-seals-washers-p141.html

I have two, that setup you’ve just mentioned and one with about 10” of tubing. So to carbonate up does 12-14psi sound right? I’d like to try it today but doubt I’ll get it carbonated within the hour haha!

HAZZAR! A simple change of washer did the trick, so the lager is now carbonating as I type. What’s the recommendation on getting her carbed up, what PSI is recommended? I would usually look at 12-14psi for a couple of days, then serve at 4psi?

Cheers mate, i guess I’ll have to wait for these new washers to come and see if that makes a difference, if not then it’s a new regulator! In preparation for that, does anyone have recommendations of a decent enough place for a new regulator?

Just checked and it is the light that’s reflecting down, however right at the top of that, is the small imperfection I’m referring to...

I’m going to have to go back to the shed now as I don’t recall a crack, and wondering if that’s a light reflection...

Hi all, thanks again for the help with this one Ive attached some pictures, and I’m wondering whether that small imperfection that you may see, is my problem? What do you think? Not sure whether you can even see it, but picture one around 9 o’clock...or picture 3 at around 7 o’clock

Noted. I’ll take a look with a magnifier in a moment

I did indeed - sorry forgot to confirm that!

Oh really? I’ll try that later!

Just took it off with relative ease, have it a wipe down and popped it back on, same issue. But what is worrying me is that the gas leak is coming from the same place, what’s the odds that I put it back on at the exact same way?! I’ll do a short video soon and post it

One of the first things I did buddy, it comes from the bottom of the where the regulator meets the canister...

I don’t have any PTFE, closest I’ve got is insulation tape. ill wait for these new washers to arrive tomorrow and if it works, I’ll be happy! Need to get a new brew on but reluctant until I’m all sorted with this last brew!

Cheers. I don’t have an electric screwdriver, I’ll try a small knife later and see if I can get it off without causing damage.
