Definitely check for leaks like mentioned above everytime you refill your CO2. It's just good practice. If your regulator is inside your fridge at 35-40 degrees then the quantity gauge is almost useless. That gauge works on pressure and will give you a false reading at temps that low. I just...

Just read an article about you guys. I wish you luck. Are you up and running yet? I live in Dorset and would love to come check it out. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

This came out fantastic. Citrusy..a little piney. Love it. The only thing I plan on changing is to make it my first all grain batch. Anyone have any suggestions for a grain bill? The Amber LME I used was Northern Brewer's Superstructure IPA blend. Actually all 6.5lbs of the LME was the NB...

I am not sure what the beer temp is. My thermometer crapped out on me (another separate issue) so I have no way of telling until I get a new thermometer. In hind site I should have ordered a new one in the same order as my temp controller. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

This is only my second brew and my first keg. So we will see how it goes. Tell me about your Nelson/Citra. I have been working on a Nelson IPA for a little bit and would love some ideas on how to use it. I want to make an Imperial IPA using all NZ hops with focus on the Nelson. Sent from my...

It bugs when people post on here with no intention of buying, but in this case I can't help myself. Wow...awesome piece of art. Really nice work. Wish I had the space for it.
