Alright thanks mate. Almost ready to rack now not sure to add fruit in secondary i guess i'll have a taste and see what I think

I have a homebrew shop and im sure a welding shop close too also i think wilkingson plus refills co2. Just not sure whether i should use it. I'd rather not give all my friends cancer haha

I live in the uk mate

Any other views on this matter for verification?

I got the fruit frozen and without seeds and sliced them in quarters. I shall keep poking it though every so often thanks mate

Thanks for the reply mate. I shall leave it be then. Can't wait to taste this batch.

Damn. What I was reading said there may be oils or chemicals

Hey guys i've read various things about fruit in primary well basically i have some cherries in a straining bag and for the first couple of days it sunk and I could way it down with a mixing spoon in the barrel, I checked today and it now floats like a bag of air. Various people say it may begin...

Hey guys. Recently been wanting to force carb my beer and I have been struggling to find a decently priced tank and regulator etc. My brothers friend has a co2 cylinder he used in an aquarium with an electric regulator hose and it's full for a decent price. One thing that did worry me is it said...

Yeah I know i'm naturally carbing atm. But the site advised to do this at first then top off with cartridges when needed. I expect this beer to be gone in one night so hopefully it'll be nice and also carbed well

Guess it's just waiting now. I know it sounds like repeating myself but say if I wait until march and force carb, do you think it'd at least be caronated enough? Lol

Syphoned in to the pressure barrel on Friday and was advised to add 50g sugar anyway (i guess the co2 is just to top the pressure off if i tap some out).

I was going to go with a tank but went with the cheaper option of a pressure barrel and co2 injector. I don't have a problem with a bit of sediment really, just i'm making some for a party coming up and my friends seem to not want to drink the last 1/4 of the 2l bottle because they don't like...

After i've waited for fermentation to stop would I then still have to wait the two or so weeks for my beer to clarify or do you think racking it from the fermenating barrel to pressure barrel (after a week or so) should do it?

I've just bought a pressure barrel with co2 injector. Surely if I force carbonate it in there and bottle it when i need it say for example in then morning refridgerate it and drink it at night it wouldn't be flat?
