Hi,
I am at university and thought it would be a good idea to start homebrewing, i put my first batch in the fermentation barrel today and am waiting for it to cool before adding yeast.
My problem is that once its done i have a pressure barrel to put it into, from what i have found from googeling you add about 80g of sugar to my 5 gallons of beer and leave it in there to pressurize, With the barrel i was given a CO2 valve and a CO2 cylinder and was wondering how the use of these affect what i would do with the pressure barrel and how i use these in the first place.
the equipment i have is:
pressure barrel:

valve: - without the red thing

and a cylinder.
Thanks everyone for your help.
