That would be brilliant. I have an old cask to use. I was thinking it best for conditioning prior to bottling

ononononoonononnoonono :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: if you cask an ale it has to be drunk by the cask not transfered over to bottle :shock:

I'd like to see this as well, also have an old cask - at some point I want to use it ( and serve from it before I get told off too... )

 

[Cyclops]

Yeh do it, i have no clue how so would be good :)

I've spent countless hours and money in pubs ,but never been in a pub cellar and cellar work is a complete mystery to me.

If you're friendly with a local landlord, ask him to show you the cellar when he's got a spare moment (that will give him time to clean it a bit!). When I was running my pub, used to show anyone who was interested in the workings of the cellar around mine, made a few of them appreciate why there was an art to keeping a constant supply of real ale ready.
