it takes a little while to get your set up right when you are new to kegging but once you get it right you’ll never look back. Make sure you are using 3/16 beer line reduced at your keg and the tap to 3/8. This gives a bigger pressure drop, which suppresses the foam. Another thing is you don’t...

Hard to find patio gas cylinders at the moment by us. I just paid £52 for a 13kg green cylinder refill at a local newsagent. That’s a swap for an empty not a new cylinder too!!

Hi @Paul7189 & @thunderfingers - I used to live in Little Sutton too. Now live in Buckley, but still play golf at Hooton, so down there regular. If you want to share collection on the group buy, I'm happy to do my bit.

Hi OB did you get my order

Motueka Kolsch 23L batch 4Kg lager malt 1Kg vienna 100g wheat malt 15g magnum @ 60m 25g Motueka @ 5m yeast safale k97

Safale K97 is a yeast I’ve used during the summer months for the last few years now. It’s a very distinct style Kolsch. A sort of German lager with an ale yeast. It’s a heavy top cropper, so I usually skim the yeast off the top after about day 3 and save it for the next batch. One thing I have...

Just had my first go at fermenting veg. Butternut squash, carrot, onions, celery, garlic.. bit of a tutti frutti. The man from del monte he say yes!

I’ve used Cal ale yeast a few times over the last few months. Haven’t noticed how lively it is, but I don’t really bother checking sg anymore. One thing I have noticed is it is difficult to clear.

Phew what a scorcher! Just mowed the lawn.. it’s thirsty work, so cracked open a new keg of my latest PA el dorado and galaxy combo. It’s interesting.. does the job, but not sure I’ll brew it again!

Can anyone recommend a website to get decent refurbished cornies at a reasonable price. I’m looking for the tall kegs 630x210mm. Most of the sites I’m looking at only stock the shorter fatter kegs 560x230mm.

When I have 2m of 3/16 line on the keg in the utility room, no problems, but my new set up has 15m of 3/8 beer line from my keg to my tap and I am really struggling to get this set up right. The keg is at ambient temp in the garage and I was dispensing at about 15-20psi (have tried several...

My good friend who lives next door has turned his garage into a cool bar, where we shoot pool and play poker. I want to run beer line from my kegs in my garage through his normal garage into the bar garage, so maybe 10-15m. I normally have 2m of 3/16 line on my kegs. Anyone know what the...

Spent the last week in Pembrokeshire where I was lucky enough to try a fantastic IPA and PA by Blue Stone brewery based in Newport. Two very nice fruity beers that I would love to have a go at brewing. Has anyone got any idea which hops are used in these beers?

Just cracked the latest keg after a long day painting railings in the garden. This one’s called scorchio PA - el dorado, citra, chinook and a generous slice of amarillo. Can’t see this keg lasting long!

Magic Rock’s Psychkinesis - NEIPA with cascade, citra, mosaic, simcoe and hbc348

Just moved house this week and my new local has TT Landlord on hand pull amongst others and very reasonably priced. Went for a quiet night out there with the mrs at the weekend and by midnight we were having a right laugh with half the locals in the pub and people kept buying us jaeger bombs...

Time started on BBC 1 last night, prison drama with Stephen Graham and Sean Bean. Very intense! watched the second episode on iPlayer tonight. Really gritty drama. Edge of the seat stuff. We’re hooked!
