Yes please. Can someone nominate them self to judge please? And as the result was so close, the judge can decide if they want to accept entries from both options. ;)

10-9 to berries now. :lol: The plan was to leave the poll open to the end of the week which has now passed so I guess that's our winner.

Probably half an inch, I'll try a bit more headroom. Carving with 20g sugar usually, never really looked at the volume of co2 that'd give tho.

Keep an eye on your mash temp as well, too hot and your fg will creep up.

Sounds like a pretty obvious solution! :lol:

Can someone help me with an obviously stupid question? The last 2 kegs I've put in the dispenser I've had problems with the beer going everywhere when trying to insert the pole thingy into the keg. The first time I opened the valve on the keg first to try and relieve some pressure but it...

Mikkeller use flaked oats in a lot of their pale ales.

It's 50/50 at the minute. What do we do in the even of a tie? :lol: How long should the poll stay open for? Until the end of the week?

Question: What should be the theme of the November competition? Options: Flavours of Christmas Berries

That'd be my vote too. @Chippy_Tea - can you add a poll to this thread or is that not possible?

Definitely. Are the 2 options suggested berry beer or Christmas pudding themed beer?

If you use dried yeast you don't need to bother at all, @strange-steve has posted the info on here a few times now.

Post a bottle to the nominated judge. As long as you pack it well it's safe enough.

Something that might not be immediately obvious is that if the keg is warm it'll take a long time (maybe 4 hours to get to 10c) to chill so if you want to switch one straight in you'll need to put it in the fridge first.

I've only ever used 20g sugar in the mini kegs and it's not as fizzy as the bottles for American style beers m, not tried more than that due to fear of the keg going bang.

Should a co2 capsule only last for 1 keg? Seems to have been used up very quickly!

One thing worth mentioning is the English translation of the instructions is terrible, it's pretty easy to work out what to do tho.

Yeah although the carbonation comes from priming sugar, the gas is just used to get the beer out of the keg it seems.

Mine arrived during the week and it's brilliant, takes a while to get the temp down but dispenses much better than the bottom tap and, as I had no way of getting the temps down before, it means I can actually drink my kegs.

Tell her it'll look lovely in the kitchen beside the sparge water heater and ss conical fermenter, simple.
