In the home brew environment you do, unless you are going to sup 40 pints in 3 or 4 days

I'm a picture framer for the pub industry so if you need chalk boards, poster cases and local interest pictures I'm your man. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I use a polypin with a handpump, beer keeps good for at least 2 weeks

Is that after you have matured it under CO2?

Would you not just condition/mature it in the polypin?

I only prime the pins about a week before I`m going to drink, leave somewhere warm about 2 days then back to the garage to settle.I personally don`t want a gassey keg style beer, real ale is a big love of my life and using this method I get the beers I want to drink.

Fine business DK, each to his own.
I use 1.5 psi which does not make the beer gassy, but does keep the oxygen off it.

I tried pressure barrels a while back and found it too gassy for me.

I'm going to be in touch to tap your knowledge in due course if thats OK...

I agree with DK. I have used both pressure barrels and polypins, but am probably going over entirely to polypins as I prefer the way the beer is served from them, and no messing about trying to find a local gas supplier.

I'm having some of that, I have been given a number of 5 gallon plastic pins, so next brew will be in one of those :thumb:
