Hey all.
First of all, a HUGE thumbs up to the service from both the home brew shop and home brew online. I ordered A Coopers DIY kit from Home Brew Online and more beer and many accessories from the Home Brew Shop and they have just arrived today. I didn't pay for premium delivery, in fact I didnt pay for delivery at all, so I am very impressed. Its a great first impression of both shops.
So, overjoyed like a kid at Christmas I tucked into the boxes to find the goodies inside. I really cant wait to get a brew on the go but alas I am away to a cottage this weekend with friends so it shall have to wait. With that in mind I though to keep the mess to a minimum (to begin with anyway, also didnt realise quite how much space it would all take up) I would pop the contents up the attic until I get back so there are not three hefty boxes lying around. This is where I may have made my first mistake... I dropped a can of Coopers Irish Stout and heavily dented the can. The integrity of the can is still in tack but being a novice at all of this, wondered if I could of damaged the contents in any way by doing this?
I bought enough storage for 3 batches to begin with (4x5l mini kegs and PET bottles), when filled this will be fine but sitting empty they SCREAM to be filled. Seems the 5l keg route isnt so popular on here. I purchased them without too much research so hopefully they will give decent results.
Thanks in advance for any input.
