I agree with everything Sam says on this one. The only thing that i would recomend is getting a second FV to use as a secondry.

Firstly welcome to THBF. Secondly, The brew club idea is something ive been thinking about for quite a while now, but unfortunatly, with the lack of home brew shops and active members from Northamptonshire its hard to judge if it going to be worth it or not.

i also have a HB cylinder (empty) but if its of any use to you mate you welcome to that as well.

Did you force carbonate the cornie before you tried to serve it? or did you prime the keg? Also how long as it been in the cornie before you pulled a pint?

Sean. Norm does not stock any HB lids. But if you can wait a couple of weeks untill i get a replacement ill send you mine.

nice work there that man :thumb:

dont worry about the drop just doing a hot water test. One you add the grain it will be much less. :thumb:

Nice one mate, but i think the wife will find out when you get home with a car full of HB stuff :rofl:

We have one in Geddington, just about 4 or 5 miles from us. thimk ill pay them a visit

I tend to keep my brews in the FV for around 10 days, then move them to a secondy for another 5. Then bottle of keg.

Terry if you happy with the FG, then i would suggest racking adding a CT and some PS. Then let it clear.
