What pressure are you trying to dispense at? Start at 3psi and keep turning it down until you get a balance of pouring speed and head retention :thumb:

Thinner I may be :thumb: But thin I aren't ;) Although I had a medical check yesterday and since the last time I was measured I have lost 14cm from around my equator :D

You're not joking Nick that 1m square space was a little bit restrictive :lol:

It's sad I know but it had to be done :ugeek: :grin:

I have been in touch with THIS campsite and in principal they agree to allow us to camp socialise and have a bottle swap :party: I am looking towards the weekend beginning Friday 23rd September. To firm things up I will need to give them an idea of numbers so who's coming?

I wouldn't bother tbh you will be disappointed :( Give at least a week in the warm and a week in a cool place before trying :thumb: Remember there is one very important ingredient that can't be bought Patience ;)

Leave them at least 2 weeks, they should clear in this time :thumb: If they don't give each bottle a slight twist side to side as the yeast sometimes clings to the side of the bottles. Once they look clear give them another 2 weeks :cheers:
