Wow, I never knew! Thanks so much for your response [emoji4] I'll keep it cool and hope that it clears up sooner rather than later.

Really? All the kits I buy instruct me to add sugar when I keg [emoji848] interesting! Thanks for your response.

Also, is the only reason to have good pressure to pour the pint? Does pressure play no other part?

Thanks for your help, guys. The beer tastes pretty good as it is.... Do you think I'm good to just keep drinking it?

Had my beer in a pressure keg with some sugar dissolved in boiling water for about a month now. Yesterday I poured a pint today and unfortunately it seems as though there has been an air leak somewhere because there is no pressure in the keg and the pint is cloudy. I adjusted the seal at the...

Hey guys. After primary fermentation, I transferred into a keg and added half a tea spoon of sugar per pint. I wanted a quick sample but there was not enough pressure to dispense from the tap so I added some carbon dioxide. This ended up being too much pressure, as I came back a few days later...

Great, thanks so much for your help!

Hi guys. I brewed my beer in a primary fermentation tub for 10 days before transferring to a pressure keg for 2 weeks, as per the instructions. I prefer my beers bottled, and so using a bottling wand, I bottled about 20 beers from the pressure keg to keep in the fridge. Cracked one open last...

Don't need to tell me twice ;) I've bought a bottling wand which should arrive tomorrow. Thanks for your help guys!

Thanks for your response! Yes, I have been doing some further research and have found that bottling from the keg requires some sort of BeerGun or DIY tool. I am slightly concerned, as I bottled from the keg for my first brew and I just poured from the keg into a measuring jug then transferred...

Thanks for your help, guys! This is the beer I'm currently brewing: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00E99POZ4/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 It's called Festival Premium Ales Razorback IPA Beer Kit. Here are the instructions...

Hi all. I started brewing my own beer about 4 weeks ago and immediately became addicted to this fascinating and rewarding hobby! My knowledge and understanding of all the processes is still somewhat limited, so could someone please help me out with this? My understanding is that a gravity...
