I have an Inkbird and heater belt keep the wort at 20c.

I don't think I have ever brewed this one before. I also don't think there is such a thing as a good or bad kit brewer only patient and impatient ones. As the is the first time I have pretty much followed the instructions only thing I changed was the sugar, I used dextrose instead of table sugar.

Lets hope mine turns out the same. I do like a nice ale as they can be served at room temp

Just started off a Tom Caxton Real Ale kit. Pressure fermenting in the Fermzilla at 5PSI. temp 18.5c I used all the original ingredients 1kg Vinclass brewing sugar 20L Sainsbury Scottish mineral water SG 1.040 expected FG 1.009 ish Tom Caxton is a name from way back when I first tried home...

I'm just drinking it anyway, by the time I have had 2 glasses I really don't care what the next few look or taste like. It's not the best I have ever brewed, it's not the worst either, it's just on this side of the drinkable scale, so drink it I will.

This wasn't a Coopers kit it was a Youngs one I have 2 x Coopers Real ale on the go right now, my "go to" beer that is, I have one being done in an FV the other In the fermzilla I shall let you know they they turn out

I'm over halfway down the keg lol, it's still cloudy, it's the yeast I think

No, it didn't and hasn't cleared, I think it was the yeast it's a new one I have never used before.

Well somehow this has all gone pete tong, brought the keg in from the garden where it's been "lagering" for a couple of weeks at around 8c and it;s as cloudly as hell, tastes very yeasty as well :/ Not one I shall be offering to visitors then, I shall however drink it, it's quaffable but only just.

I have Corny 19l kegs, I usually just fill them with beer, give them 10psi then shut gas off, check in 24 hours, turn gas back to bring up top 10 psi if needed then turn gas off, rinse and repeat.

20L Coopers Real Ale Total = 285 litres

Tonight I have a mate coming round, the keg has been in the garden since 22/12 and I will be bringing it in tonight for us to try a beer or 5. It's been sitting out there at around 8c and 10psi for just over 2 weeks so lets hope we now have a drinkable beer

Just necking back 1 ltr of Canadian Blonde ABV 4.02% Bottled 30/11/19 and primed with 7g DME. What a great refreshing drink, put this in the fridge yesterday so it's nicely chilled to 5c. I am a bit hot and sweaty because I have just started off another Coopers Real Ale which is my "go to"...

Try it and see, all I can tell you is that every Kegland reg I have used has been faulty :/ My regs are by Lierna an italian company, they really aren't cheap but are widely considered the best and they have never let me down like cheaper ones have.

Didn't look at the postage..wow.

I have seen them for £130 posted but still too expensive. I neither really need or want one but if they are on sale at a good price I might be tempted. Good price being close to £100

I really can't be arsed to build one

If anyone spots these on sale, please let me know.
