Hazy IPA please

Definitely the method that works perfectly for me. I read somewhere that the most important things with homebrewing were cleanliness and patience. I always find waiting a month to start a new brew after kegging is well worth the wait and with reasonable planning I never run dry ;)

As others have said there is a fairly large initial financial outlay for Kirby kegs but the cost is well worth it. I struggled with leaking plastic kegs and on a few occasions ended up tipping the whole batch on the garden. Since going over to Korny’s the quality of my beer is fantastic right...

Just started a keg of Bulldog Triple Tykes. I can already tell this isn’t going to last lockdown 😁

Excellent service during lockdown . Using kegs definitely improved my results. Only downside is I seem to now be suffering from top up syndrome!

Just started brewing a Ritchies Simply Bitter kit. Used 1 Kg of Mangrove Jacks Spray malt and have some pelleted Cascade hops to add a bit later. Bit of an experiment this one but bubbling away nicely at 22.5 degrees. I have been considering using Demerara sugar for priming when it goes in the...

Bruno the elderly labrador busy blakberrying yesterday 😁

The Fermentasaurus Gen 2 sarter kit looks like it could take my Homebrew to the next level. As much as anything I would enjoy watching it bubble away 😁

Festival Belgian IPA Yummy

The main difference I found was the ease of sealing after filling and the quality of the beer right to the last drop. I have since brought another keg which is filled with Belgian IPA, very tasty. Next project is adapting a secondhand fridge to store them at a cooler temperature but not too...

It was the first time I had done it and actually only did it because I was waiting for the keg to arrive 😁. Just wondering whether it was a good way of reducing the chance of sediment in the keg?

I filled my first Corny Keg with Youngs IPA after giving it a second fermentation for a couple of weeks. Went in clear and drinkable but has really benefited from leaving at 10 psi for a fortnight. Do others use secondary fermentation or just keg it straight after the initial one? I

Following a suggestion from a discussion on the forum I got a Corny kit from BrewKegTap a couple of weeks ago. Great value and clear instructions. I watched a few YouTube videos, some better than others, and read numerous threads on the forum on the setting up process. Yesterday I loaded it with...

It was rather a case of pot luck. A bit like trying to open a Watneys party seven! Mind you it made my homebrew taste almost half decent!

They were a bit hit and miss. Mind you so was my sanitising 🤣

Good evening I have recently joined the forum and been really impressed by the amount of support. I first had a go at homebrewing in the 80’s using Boots kits with generally okay results. After a gap of over 30 years I was given a Festival kit by a friend and was amazed by the difference. Fast...

I had exactly the same problem and solved it by wrapping a few turns of plumbers PTFE tape around the threads. Now holds pressure perfectly 👍
