Welcome fizzy. It's a great hobby you're starting out on and there's lots of knowledgeable members here who will be more than happy to help you along the way. What have you chosen as your first brew?

Nice one Richiebeer. Called in the local Wilko's this afternoon and picked up a wherry and two admirals reserve!:thumb:

Good tip. I'll give give that a try. Thanks:thumb:

Having never used a pressure barrel before I was a little concerned I was gonna damage it in some way. Thanks for your help fil:thumb:

Hi fil thanks for the response. It's a king keg with s30 screw on bottle. So basically I can't put to much pressure in as it will just release it if I do with no damage to the barrel. Is that right? Cheers Dicko

Hi all. Never used a keg before so need some help on using co2. How long should I inject for? Cheers Dicko

Thanks Japan brew. I don't think there's any leaks as there's plenty of pressure, (1 inch of beer and 4 inches of head). So at the moment I haven't needed to add any pressure but I can try adding a little and see if it makes any difference.

+1 on that.:thumb: It's to easy to have a quick sniffter when it's kegged. Like every time you walk passed it!:drink:

Hi honk. Like I said its the first time I've tried the keg so was unsure of the priming quantity, (Maybe i need more for my liking). The ale itself is real tasty and I'll definitely do it again but, next time I'll bottle it.:cheers:

Hi griff. Possibly. It was the first time I'd used the keg and I put 80g in, does that sound insufficient?

Quality.:-D Have you tried both bottle and keg? Reason I'm asking is I made a smugglers ale and kegged it, the taste is bang on but, I was disappointed in the carbination.

Hi all I'm about to make my first wherry and was wondering what the thought was on keg or bottle.:drink: Advice please.:cheers:

Hi darrellm. I've just started this kit myself and was wondering how it turned out. Did you use the yeast with the kit or something else?

Welcome to the forum. As gerryjo said it's an addictive hobby. Tonight I will be sampling the fruits of my labour for the very first time, muntons midas golden touch. Already I have a muntons smugglers ale in the king keg and tonight I will be bottling a nelsons revenge. Not to mention the...

Thanks Darrell. I've just had a quick look at the link you gave, sounds just what I'm looking for. :thumb: Going looking for a large stock pot now!

Thanks for your help ill give it a try.

Thanks spa pro I've never heard of this kit before I'll look into it. While you say you haven't tried the kit you mentioned have you tried their other kits? Cheers

Hi all I was wondering if anyone has come across a black sheep, (Paul theakstone)taste alike kit. Or one that can be tweeked to taste similar? Cheers

Thanks dad of Jon. Yeah I'm gonna stick with what terrym has suggested as it's the first time I'll have made it. It can always be tweeked for personal taste next time. Cheers:cheers:

Thanks I already had the syrup so I'll just get another squeegy bottle and top up, I doubt it'll get wasted! One more question. When priming what quantities should I be using? Thanks
