HI, yes, sorry, I dont keep it at 5c all the time, I usually keep it at room temp and then move to fridge.

Well, by the look of this thread the might be!!

Thanks,do you reckon a 5ltr one could be done with 16g Gas cartridges?

I'll give this a shot at the weekend, thanks, although I already have some sugar in there!

Ordering this now. Am I right in saying that this wont help with the issue with the carbonation of the beer, only the flow control of the beer from the tap?

I think he changes it around because the tube goes into the beer only from the tap connection, the connection where the regulator is doesnt have tube going into the beer, just goes into the keg. I have a 30psi regulator.

Anybody have any opinion on this method? I have this exact setup.

Can you let me know what you're trying. Will you have to also leave this for 2 weeks in the fridge to get right?

Thanks for the advise on non-priming sugar method but I just don't think I'd have to room to keep it in the fridge for two weeks. I'd really need to look at another fridge in the shed for that or something before I'd get away with it. Also I'd only be able to do one 5ltr at a time as I only have...

I thought with minikegs you only used half the required priming sugar? I'm not sure what you mean about the second paragraph, I'm very new to this so have now idea about the diff' between levels of psi and if I turn the tap off overnight etc.

I am carbonating with priming sugar, is the amount of 15g per 5ltrs correct? I'm carbonating it at about room temp, so 20 degrees. I had a way higher psi on the regulator, so I think that might be one issue. I'm also only priming for like 5 days, so that also might be another issue. When you...

So I bought a 5ltr Stainless Steel keg & ball lock tap with co2 gas and regulator. Kit can bee seen in this thread Stainless Steel kegs The issue is that I'm not really getting great carbonation. I'm using a 16oz canister (but also have soda-stream). I have a 30psi regulator but am not 100%...

Does anybody have any feedback on the PSI.

@obscure So when you open your keg, you mean unscrew the lid and fit the double ball lock thing?

Yeah, I've spoken to the guy now and am getting what I think is a decent deal. 2x 5L Mini Kegs 2x double ball lock pillared Spears with riser hose. One self closing tap with plastic ball lock One mini regulator for sodastream and mini cartridges with gas line and ball lock. Velcro keg band...

I don't really want to over invest in either space or equipment. I thought that you could only get corny kegs in 19lts and I really dont want to be having to accommodate that space requirement. I can't cool that size bottle. a 5ltr keg will fit in my fridge.

HI, I'm currently using the mini-keg setup which I'm kind of tied with, hard to get right pour etc. I do want to move onto the SS Keg setup and I wonder if you guys have and advice/experience in the below type...

Just a quick update. Beer is bottled and is totally fine. No smell issues. All I did was add extra nutrient, small bit of DME and let the top off the fermenter overnight on two nights.

One thing...how do I know when it's "cleared"?

^^ This I like! Experimenting at its best. This is what I'll do.
