Well, I bit the bullet and purchased a TAD system, twice as dear as in the States.
I have my 24 litres ready to fill. It is a Coopers Real Ale. I have brewed this one before and it is a great beer. Next will be a Munich Lager also a Coopers.
So I will use 750 ml bottles, 2 litre trial keg and the TAD system to which I will add bottles.
I always use kits and now if I force carbonate I can have a brew ready to drink in 3 weeks. There has to be some ageing. Although I will stick to my initial method. My fermenter has a capacity of 50 litres so there is a lot of head room. It is black and was designed as a wine fermenter. I am thinking of dropping the secondary and leave the ferment in the primery for 3 weeks undisturbed. I will then dispense some and check clarity if it is still a bit cloudy I may use the secondary then. As I have 2 secondaries I might use one to restart Cider brewing. I would ask the question whether the acidity will attack the TAD pet bottles.
One other question:- Whats the approved method of cleaning a pet bottle
