That wasn’t a tip just something I read. Anyway there must be a reason for the widget in the Guinness and Kilkenny cans?

What tip is that? The link to buy them for a good price?

Sweet thanks man! Cheapest I could find in Canada was just over $50. That makes my life way easier! My understanding was nitrogen didn’t dissolve into liquid well so for nitro to actually come out the tap a diffuser was needed near the liquid tube take up. But I might have bad information.

Easier yes but also an extra $100. Maybe for the future for the quick carb but it’s an extra couple hundred Canadian for me. My coke kegs don’t even have a pressure relief but the Pepsi does I’m looking to replace them to Pepsi so four fit in the kegerator. For my kids soda I could just...

Has anyone made their own diffuser stone lid mod? I was going to make a set of 4. Thought I could do them for half price or better. I especially wanted one for nitrogen. I was going to buy bulkhead ball lock connectors, stones and silicone hose. Is it hard to drill the stainless steel lids...

What about this fluted mill? Not sure how much shipping would be from Australia. Has anyone found a North American distributor? MashMaster | MillMaster | Geared Fluted Two Roller Grain Mill | BeerCo

Who knows what the truth is but I read that they make a Guinness extract or syrup that they ship. The Guinness that’s made in Canada is claimed to be all pale malt before the extract is added.

I was going to try fermenting under pressure for the first time. Then a closed air transfer. Makes it hard to add after. Not sure how I’d do that yet. Especially since I’ve seen the keg filled with water first to remove the oxygen. Do you think it would be too much acid to add prior to...

You could also inoculate it with lactobacillus.

This has been discussed in the online recipes. They say Guinness has a bit of souring and they used to do this naturally by souring a portion of beer with lactic bacteria. Basically it’s done for flavor.

If you are doing built in with bar mounted taps perhaps a home built unit using a chest freezer would be an option.

Should work unless you have a water profile for a particular brand you are trying to replicate.

Most of the recipes I’ve seen only use Maris otter, flaked and roasted. Do these other grains bring it closer in some way?

I might have to make it a few different ways. For research of course.

Does the brand mater? Looks like I can get 4 kinds. We’ll sort of. Only crisp is on stock. The is also Simpsons and Bairds that are out of stock. Another wholesaler might had Warminster organic but it’s listed as specialty order and they don’t special orders one bag. I would only be able to get...

For those who have made Guinness clones how close were they? What is the best recipe that you have found? I’m planning to make some soon and have a few questions. First is there a big difference if I use local 2 row pale malt vs Maris Otter? Second is East Kent Goldings the correct hop as...

I was wondering if commercial handles like Guinness, or American handles fit on the Nukataps on kegerator’s? Has anyone installed them on their kegerator? If not is there and adapter or easy modification? I was looking at a Guinness handle but it looks like it’s different. Also it looks way...

What kind of bearings does the Mighty Mill 3 have? Is the shaft flimsy? I've seen some mentions that a 3/8" shaft isn't big enough and they recommend 1/2"? Maybe that's overkill for home use no idea. Any Canadian sources for it or is Morebeer.com the best source? This will probably only be...

Hi everyone. I’ve been brewing beer since about 1999 or 2000 can’t exactly remember. I started wine around 1993. First batch was terrible lol. Beer I went to whole grain fairly early. Haven’t brewed beer from grain in a while but planning to get back to it next week. I’m in the process of...
