I agrea with orfy,king kegs cannot be used at the same high pressure as corny kegs. With my king kegs i just add 5 tbls of white sugar at keg filling time and leave a few weeks to clear and build pressure,top up with co2 as and when needed.

Hi Aelfwyn, good luck with the mead brewing.never brewed it my self though. last week i had a "fullers organic honey dew" says it has honey in the recipe but puts it on the label as beer, i'm confused. is it mead when it's only made from honey? and beer if it's malt and honey?:confused:
