It really doesnt do it justice

Update: 5 days later i could not help myself…. It is clearing very well. The taste is as close to an american ale i can imagine 🥹

Yeah i guess i will swerve these kegs. I dont need them right now i have many aspects to work on before i get to large kegs. It was just that they are dirt cheap and thought it was a good opportunity. Thanks guys you most definitely saved me a few bucks 😂

Gotcha👍 Thanks

I guess the spigot would allow me to try easily. Like i asked mac, could i prime the beer in that keg or would it also create too much pressure?

Would that also be the case if i were to add priming sugar to the keg and mature without CO2? I will have to go and look at them i suppose…

That is what i was thinking. They look to be modified. The person selling them was using them to store hard liquor in them… if the spigots are a modification will i have problems ageing my beer in there with a co2 hook up?

I would most likely be transferring to bottles or containers that people would bring to be filled. Or, bottle them from the keg. Im just looking at maturing beer on larger quantities in a singular keg rather than bottles everywhere. Plus i like the idea of force carbonating. What is the use of...

Thanks for the detailed response my friend! Basically i want to sell alot of my beer so size is what i am after. Where i live everybody sells their home produced wine but there is nobody doing beer. My initial question was about the taps on the kegs in the picture. They are beer kegs for sure...

Can i get an opinion on these kegs that have just come up for sale. I have no idea about kegs but i dont recall seeing taps on them🤷‍♂️

I might do so when i have tried it. I will use this old tin of bitter i have as an experiment and report the results. I will try a sort of winter orange and cinnamon bitter i think. That sounds really cool. I suspect the market is huge if you could plug in to that sort of thing. I mean if i...

That is really good to know. This has opened many doors. I make some special flower tinctures that i think would go great with these beers 🍺 I am loving the possibilities available brewing beer, i never knew 🙌

I can use tinctures!? After brewing? Now that sounds fancy if so. My other half makes tinctures of all things on the farm… im very much looking forward to these experiments

Even better! Ill grate some tangerine skins into the brew, a couple of cinnamon sticks and see what happens

Nice i was thinking of orange and cinnamon. Got about 80 orange trees here so i can dry the peel myself 😂

Perfect. Yeah they are well away from anything and everyone. I mixed the priming sugar in boiling water, allowed it to cool and mixed with the wort so should be fine. Its been well over the kit specified time to ferment and the sg was at 1.011 so it should be fine 🤞

Yeah i will go for it, im waiting on my new equipment so might as well. i was thinking of adding some sort of spice to it do you have any ideas? Also im now wondering if the headspace i left in the bottles is sufficient. Most have about 3cm. Bottle bombs or no? I guess whats done is done...

Liquid. Its sealed in a can

Thanks guys! Loved the whole journey but its nice to get er bottled! Ordered my beer equipment today so waiting on that to arrive so i will jump into all grain brewing🍺 Got a harvest bitter kit here but the malt extract is a couple years out of date….. will probly open it up and give it a go...

It is done. 20 litres into 40 bottles. Looks great, smells even better and tastes like a damn good apa! Couldnt help but try a bottle😂 Cant wait to see how she clears in a few weeks! Thanks for all the support and great advice guys! Truely a great forum here! I will report back in a couple...
