How are you planning to store it?Just thought of another question…once it’s brewed how long can I expect the beer to keep for? Then I know how to pace myself lol.
I put mine in a builders trug for when the beer wants to go walkabout from the airlockExactly what I was thinking! My wife would divorce me if I had a fermenting batch in the bedroom. I have had a few batches where the yeast decided to escape too.
If bottled then anywhere from a couple of months to years depending on what style of beer you brew. I kept a wherry style beer for 6 months and the best ones were the last onesJust thought of another question…once it’s brewed how long can I expect the beer to keep for?

That’s good to know! :)If bottled then anywhere from a couple of months to years depending on what style of beer you brew. I kept a wherry style beer for 6 months and the best ones were the last ones
There's a very comprehensive thread on here about using pressure barrels. I'd suggest cracking the tap open a fraction 24 hours after filling to check that it's well pressurised. If it is, then great. If not then you still have time to tighten the lid or whatever else needs fixing while the priming sugar is still fermenting and creating CO2.I’m keeping it in a pressure barrel and probably without adding CO2. So that’s still a decent amount of time.
Thanks I’ve gone with the standard one.The bigger brass valve is an S30 valve, which has a pressure relief valve and a way of adding CO2. The other one has just a pressure relief.
So if you're definitely not going to be adding CO2 then I'd personally just use the simple pressure relief one as it has fewer potential places to leak. If you think you might get a CO2 cylinder (Sodastream + S30 adapter or bulbs plus adapter) then use the other.
I'm sure you'll soon see the benefits of adding gas (longer life and better carbonation) and add that to your brew kit...
Oh wow think that’ll be enough?Vaseline on both side of the rubber will sort it.
