Hi, welcome to the forum from Ballymena

Hi, does anyone know of a co2 gas supplier based around Ballymena in Northern Ireland other than GeB?

Just thought I would put in my 10 pence worth. I have two PBs that I use intermittently. I have always used about 8 winds of PTFE plumbers tape on the top thread making sure that I cover the whole of the thread. I also put a single layer on the top ridge. Just my experience.

Hi guys. Sorry that it has been a while since I have been on here but I have been busy making changes to my brewery.

Many thanks for the welcome and I am sorry that bit has been a while since I have been on. I live in Ballymena and was wondering if anybody else in Ballymena makes there own Homebrew, if so maybe we could meet up and swap ideas. I am retired so time is not a problem. Please let me know.

Brewing a Cornish Miners Ale this week but luckily I have the Grainfather Conical Fermenter with the cooling pump. Might be spending some time ferrying ice from the freezer though, oh well all part of the hobby.
