Been swapping PMs with Nidger re Morrisons PET Bottles and I am sure I read on here and cant find it using search that the bottles to use for Beer / Lager / Cider etc should have vertical gaps in the Threads Can someone confirm that pls - as I dont want to have misremembered - and they should...

I had exactly this after I packed in brewing a few years back. A twisten contorted mess. But enough about me I tried to return my PB to its original shape by a few means and failed. So I left it where it stood and forgot about it and a few months later I noticed it had returned completely back...

Cheers will give that a go - attracted by the Florida Keys - a place I really like Ive watched "The night of" cant remember the source - maybe Netflix and I was hooked after the first episode. Have recommended it to several mates and they all seemed to like it - but to make sure I recently...

Trying bottling again recently after 40 plus years of using pressure barrels

Yes - it did taste good and verified by a third party LOL but still a bit disappointed as its for my friend next door He wont care but I have learned a lesson - next time fill em up a bit higher !

Damn. I have brewed 17 litres of Admirals Reserve for a mates 70th Birthday bash. There were 18 litres to start but I sampled one - they are around 3 months in the bottle I havent bottles anything for 40 years and the one I tried had a very very slight fizz when opened but tasted great and...

Sounds good - if I do another Wherry I will try that - but what would be a typical og without it and with it please if you know. Cheers Wp

This doen not really answer your question but I have done 15 or so Wherry brews and am also doing Nelsons Bitter at around 5% and Admirals Reserve at 5.5 ish. The latter is superb everyone keeps telling me so I may phase out Wherry and Nelsons and have 3 KKs full of Admirals Reserve

Super tip by Clint as this seems to have cured the problem - by simply putting the lever of the tap at 3 o clock or due east or at exactly 90 degrees. Cheers Clint I dont know why the Tap leaks if past that position - whether there is a pinhole designed into it - or an inherrent design fault...

Cheers Wynne - but the crack that is bothering me is on the outside of the Tap and because its totally new I didnt expect it to leak When it did I suspected the usual internal leak and maybe (I thought) I should have greased the new tap up before us Then I found this hairline crack which must...

Thanks again terrym I will probably do exactly that if I can get the right tap. Presumably once on its side and chocked I could open tap steadily to vent the gas and then having prepared the new tap screw that straight in. The Cider is really good and will have 39 and a half pints still in...

Hi Clint - No I only bought this in June (right at the end) - so it was new I know you can strip them down to add vaseline but I would have only done that after 4 or 5 brews rather than on a new 'un Will try your "dead on" 90 degrees suggestion - as well as the vaseline I have daubed on...

Thanks terrym May have to pop in to local HB S . I am pretty sure tap is a simple screw in type into the body but as I bought it in June (20) I cant say for absolutely sure it was (an age thing again) and of course I cant look as its full of Wobblygob My doubt further springs from the fact...

Bought new one of these and have a Wobblygob Mixed Fruit in it (clearing) Noticed over weekend the tap has a leak - and I fiddled with the position to try to cure it. It was after it kept leaking I noticed there was a pinhole or minor crack on the front of the tap unit itself So anyone...

Now I really cant disagree with that ! I would have one tomorrow but I fear that the first time I made it to Skipton (Yorkshire for our OP) that would be the end of the journey. Just love the Pub scene there esp. The Beer Engine - what a set up that is Anyway came back because I forgot to add...

How about residency on "The World" Cruise ship You probably have already looked but if not check it out.

Trying some excellent Wherry (really pleased with that) from a PB. The PB / beer in question figured on here in a few posts because I had bought a new Lid / Valve / Tap for this PB and found the 2nd Ferm "gas" had gradually leaked out So the advice was recharge with sugar and replace the old...

Hi garmostripel Yes we had a thread on that mismatch of instructions a few months back. Seems there was old stock out there. If you search you will probably find it and I think people decided it was a preference whether to hop early or after 4 days Anyway I cracked my Wherry last night after...

2 weeks on Norfolk Broads made me a Woodforde's fan and I drank my first moored up in Acle and it was a Nelsons Revenge. Following day we went to Great Yarmouth where I searched for more NV but was offered "only" Wherry and I loved it. Went to Fur and Feather when moored at Salhouse Broad and...
