can you talk me through the process pls?

thanks very much. when you burst carbonated it, did you do this at cold temperature in the fridge?

thanks for the advice. I have now dialled it back up to 8psi. I was hoping it would be ready in a week, hoping it would be quicker than if bottle carbonating. Is the general consensus it takes 2 weeks to fully carbonate even if temp as low as 3c?

that's a very good question. my only thought was perhaps I stressed the yeast as I pitched it into the wort at a temperature of 26c. However, 1st 3 days saw a gravity drop to 1.020, so pretty quick, it then went down to 1.012 and seemed to have stuck there. Beer came out a little sweet and...

I have seen many positive responses on this kit as you have above. Sadly my experience was the opposite, possibly due to user error!

Hi All, As this is the 1st time using a keg, some advice would be appreciated. After realising I had a leak as there was no jubilee clip on the gas line out, I have now fitted one, fingers crossed, it seems to be okay. After consulting the keg carbonation chart I set the regulator to 8psi .Both...

I've also noticed your has a shut off valve which mine doesnt have?!

love the pictures, very cool

thanks steveinUS. yes it looks the same

Hi All, As I am planning on kegging this weekend, I have noticed that the gas line connector to the regulator does not have a washer, it only screws on where metal meets metal. Is this normal? The keg/regulator and lines were ordered recently and have not been used. thanks

Hi All, Could someone please explain to me why some MJ kits ask you to add 700g pure malt enhancer and other suggest 1.2kg, is it simply lighter ABV kits need less, versus others with a higher ABV that need the full 1.2kg? I have just received an APA recipe no.11 that states either 600g dextrose...

same here, does this mean we cant see the kids if we live separately?!

well done, let us know how it turns out. keep well

Yes please albeit have just made an order with you!

Hi All, I would welcome some advice on kegging and carbonating before I embark. I know there are many posts on this subject but there seem to be varying thoughts on how best to do it. I have bought a 23l keg with regulator and all fittings and have a CO2 canister so ready to go - all I need is...

can't you just add more dry hops so the taste and aroma last longer?!

kept it at constant 20c

Hi All Have had this fermenting for 9 days and the instructions tell you to add the dry hops on day 7 for 3 days if the gravity is below 1.025. The gravity reads 1.011 so I probably should have thrown the hops in but there is a lot of krausen still on top. Should I wait for everything to drop to...

Yes boiled water to dissolve the sugar, added to bottling bucket before transferring beer on top, then stirred once done. This all said, last night I opened a bottle that was better carbonated so after 4+ weeks, perhaps they will be okay, unless, as you say, some are better carbonated than...

doesnt look like my response came through above. thanks for your response; carbonating at 22c used priming sugar supplied with kit and batch primed from a bottling bucket. Same process as previous Youngs APA and AIPA kits which turned out great. Mixture of crown caps and plastic pet screw on...
