    How do I stay cool in the Tropics?

    I could do with information like this also as I am moving to Spain with no air con. I'm going to see how cool it gets in the closet. edit: I've seen some small portable air con machines that might be ok in the closet if not too expensive to run.

    Beer Kegs help

    Yes that is correct. You'll probably need to buy a CO2 canister but that should last you a while. You could get away with unscrewing the top to release the vacuum caused by pouring but this would mean the beer won't last as long in the keg (you'd have to drink it within a few weeks as ur letting...

    1st time with Co2 injection kit

    Are you using a proper keg or a pressure barrel? If it is the latter than I was told to add the CO2 when the pressure gets so low it won't pour anything out the tap. If you try and add extra while it already has pressure the release valve will kick in and you waste your CO2. Although I have two...

    Bottling from Keg?

    How long would this take to carb again roughly?

    Alcotec Turbo Klar - Worthwhile?

    I'm new to homebrewing but I think this is used for wine and moonshine as finings aren't really that necessary for most beers iirc.

    S-bubble airlock type

    So that's why I'm not getting any bubbles then? :( I didn't have it full up (about half full), does this stop it working?

    Turbo yeast to make "vodka"?

    And here was me getting all excited I was gonna have something drinkable. :( The guy at the Home Brew shop said it was just the same as these kits: Vodka Kit :confused: Well at least I have a lager or stout I can start instead.

    Turbo yeast to make "vodka"?

    Is it that bad (or good lol)? With it not being distilled does that mean more of a hangover causer or just the alcohol content? I'll try anything once or twice :drunk: I'd seen those spirit/liqueur kits you can buy and this is basically the same thing so I figured I'd give it a go.

    forgot to stir yeast.

    That makes a great quote! :rockin:

    Turbo yeast to make "vodka"?

    Hi I bought some Alcotec 48 Turbo yeast and have it fermenting away nicely with 8kg of sugar in 25lt. Just wondering if anyone else has tried this non-distillary "moonshine" technique and has any tips for it? It says you don't need to add anything else to make a "vodka" but what could I make out...

    help - i cannot syphon for some reason!

    I used the sucking method too, although I wrapped a small amount of tissue paper around the end so my mouth didn't touch any of the tubing.

    Adding priming sugar if not bottling....

    The one I have holds about 28 liters so I put around 2oz of sugar in.

    Adding priming sugar if not bottling....

    Ok he said to only put extra CO2 in once you have started drinking it and the pressure is going down for serving. There is a pressure release valve but he says you should never have so much pressure in it that it has to set the valve off. So I think I'll drink 6 to 10 pints then top it up with a...
