My new syphon hose came with those clips but my buckets dont like accepting it 😭

That's damn lucky!!! How long does a 10kg cylinder last you?

apart from brewing, I've been doing the following: 1) Working from home 2) Making yeast starters 3) Designing AG recipes 4) Watching brewing videos on YouTube 5) Creating YouTube videos 6) Drinking beer 7) Drinking more beer 8) Online shopping (for brewing supplies) 9) Drinking more beer 10)...

actually, the best piece of kit that has been invaluable to me is the flask and magnetic stirrer. i can't make effective starters without them since i switched to using live yeasts about 9 months ago.

i have bottled the brew i did 3 weeks ago. i got 2 x 19l kegs and 19 bottles out of it. in these tough times of social restriction and high consumption of beer it seemed silly to waste it. i have another 50 litre IPA batch in the FC and got another 50l Lime Hefeweizen brew day planned in 3...

That's pretty good actually! I had to pay a £70 odd deposit on the tank which I have a receipt for so I just take the old one back and get a new one for just the cost of the gas. I've had mine since October and I'm still pretty full, i.e. it says more than 100% 💪

I used these guys. They supply through all sorts of suppliers: https://www.adamsgas.co.uk/product-category/co2-gas-bottles-for-hydroponics-and-plant-growth/ Found a little auto supplier local to me. They got it ordered and in stock the same day.

If that's the case, what's the fix? All 6 kegs str empty at the moment... kegging 2 this weekend

I will just note that if I run the tap for a few seconds into a big jug until it calms down, it then pours nicely again but if you wait 10 to 15 minutes and pour again, it does it again and you need to get the big jug out

It only ever happens as I say when it gets to the last 3rd of the keg. Whether I go through a keg in a week of if I go through it in 2 months. I have them set around 12 psi I think (just had IPAs on recently which I raised from 10 for an english bitter). Not sure on exact temperature as I dont...

This happens on all 6 kegs though... and they were all brand new AEB kegs as well

Call me old fashioned but I don't have a sparge arm. I use 2 x sheets of tin foil and a fold them together making a wide square piece and slide a tea towel underneath it. I then use a kebab skewer to punch lots of really, really small holes in it and then place it on top of my mash so that I...

So this may have been covered by others previously so apologies if this is the case. I have a problem with every single keg I've put on. (Its only 6 kegs, about to put 7 and 8 on this weekened). The last 1/3 of the keg gets very foamy and I have to run some off into a big jug before the foam...

This is a fermenter I haven't cleaner the krausen ring off yet. The top line is 25 litres, rather than the 23 in a standard wilko fermenter. I just wilko fermenters for holding sanitizer

Usually between 23 and 25 litres but I use live ale yeast with a starter. In the past, espescially with kits I found that some dried yeasts can really erupt. I have a fermenter here I can take a picture for you. Hang on...

I used to use 23l wilko fermenters but I have 25l fermenters now and I think that does the trick 😊

In fairness, I went all hell for leather on my switch to kegs. I bought 6 new AEB kegs, 2 secondary regulators, a 6.3kg bottle of gas, a 2nd hand fridge, loads of x-gen line, JC fittings, stop flow line connectikns and flow control taps. I think all in, it cost me about £1200. I know it was a...

I'm lazy so usually throw it away but I do bottle sometimes. I brew AG in 50l batches and use 2 different fermenters with different yeasts and dry hops so I get 2 full kegs and about 6-8 bottles. During these difficult times I dont want to waste them 😊 The taps you get with the kits need...

So true! I thought 6 would be enough... already considering a couple more 😂

Thanks @Chippy_Tea - I never have a problem with a blow out though. Not anymore. And i use a chamber to ferment in the garage. So I'm quite glad i dont need to do this 🥳
