Incidentally ... If I used PB as a fermenting vessel could I remove the gas input rubber seal and let the CO2 escape via valve and up a pipe fixed in a bottle trap ... filled with water of course

Yes thanks to both again Have 3 top tap kks and have changed float system on one of older ones Local HB shop might be best place as hard to pay 3.99 or more carriage Cheers all

Thanks for that BB - did you buy off the shelf and / or adapt in any way Great to know I can do it and as you havn't mentioned using a longer syphon tube and / or a more flexible to be I am guessing not

My Wilco PB will become an FV tomorrow due to 3 tap leaks. Will fit airlock and bingo I hope it can earn its keep that way because as soon as pressure builds it leaks from seal - as there isnt a locking nut As cheeky aside mate has loaned me bottom tap KK [used once] but can I fit a float or...

Many thanks for the reply... always enjoy reading replies and see how others tweek things I think you are right re the taste as I am mainly a Bitter fan as in Barnsley Wherry etc and the Cwtch made me cringe but the good news is after just a week I dropped a small amount out of KK and once it...

Yes thanks for that - it was pretty clear but I see it has an IBU of 38 and now Im looking for Barnsley or Nelsons for comparison purposes Had never heard of IBU till 15 minutes ago :beer1:so will keep digging acheers. thanks again Wp

Was looking for a Red / Ruby kit and got Cwtch and St Peters Just removed Cwtch to garage and its so Bitter [hoppy]. My Wherry, Nelsons & Admirals are right up my street taste wise and had I read some of comments on here [that I found today] I would have avoided it. However I just saw "red"...

Thanks for that... I will tilt it when a third of barrel left and chock with something Will have to do that because I realised since asking about sawing the shield from in the barrel off WON'T let me fit a float system anyway Tap still not leaking.. don't look a gift horse etc...

Sorry posting again I read about some people on here shortening Wilco taps to stop them leaking at gasket also people who had shortened KK tap but searching I can't find any So I tried screwing Kk tap in just to see if the Threads were even the same and despite looking 1\3 longer the KK tap...

I did nothing BUT Wherry at first. It was good and popular. Then I wanted a stronger beer abv and taste wise Then I went on to Nelsons and Admirals and did 6 Admirals in a row - brilliant Then I got 2 Wherrys as gifts and thought I will beef them up and simply added 454g of LME [Holland &...

update just screwed KK Tap into Wilco to see what happened and it screwed straight in and when filled didnt leak NOW I am puzzled - help needed lol

Saw post by someone who had shortened a KK Tap to use in Wilco Barrel and one where someone had shortened a Wilco tap both cured leaks BUT I cant either now using "search" Has anyone done either of these please and did it work ? Threads seem same cheers wp

Yes - I try never to open my FV esp to do a hydrometer reading, relying instead on the 2-2-2 method I came across on here - do a search It has never failed me although some might say I may have been able to get kegging sooner Another thing which works for me is I use one of these [below] and...

Hi Redwulf Followed your menu as above and seems to have turned out well Forgot to do o.g. but on barrelling brew was totally clear and though I am a Barnsley Bitter type drinker it tastes ok 2nd error after not doing o.g. was probably letting brew go slushy although thermometer [good one]...

Hi - I know there are many knowledgeble people on here , and me included, a few who come to depend on that knowlege lol Just barrelled the above but did not do an OG and wonder if anyone has one recorded for 500g Light Spray Malt + 300 g brewing sugar or an estimate please I record everything...

Hi Redwulf and thankf for such a comprehensive and understandable reply I will try to follow the main points as you have outlined - much easier than Coopers own info Brewing since 72 ish and never done Lager [its for a neighbour] and finding it strange to see fermentation at 15c approx Will...

Hi - forgive the question but reading the search results hasnt sorted me out Im doing my first Lager ever and read instructions / other info and still not clear ... so ; I got my Can and fermentables in FV & got the liquid to 22c [easy] before adding yeast 36 hours on its fermenting well - so...

I cringe reading about losing a dog - or worse - putting them down My boy Jet a Lab X seen below on his 15th Bday is 18 today [eighteen] - but I know deep down he probably shouldnt be here. He is compos mentis and still has his spirit but his body is well OTT

Someone - a non Brewer - has asked if they may have the working one However if you want it let me know and I will let you know if they give backword

I still have Fridge Freezer going free in Items for sale - may need regas
