Small update. I've upgraded the line to a 6ft line using a 1ft line and 5ft line with a "Universal Connector". However the stout is still mainly foam when I dispense it so I'm going with over-carbed beer. Can someone give me a run-through on how to connect up a CO2 tank and regulators to a...

Hey everybody, Me and SWMBO are both a big fan of meat. However she's not a beer drinker... yet. So I'd like to make something special. I know that there have been a number of bacon recipes circulating the internet but I'd be interested in combining the following: Steak Bacon Black...

Kit beer, Samson's Bah Humbug Christmas Stout. Good mouthfeel and slips down real easy.

I think it's most likely the line. I'll pop to LHBS and have a word with the guy there. Might also get another kit. Do you guys know how to change the line attached to a screw-on connector? Grey plastic thing with a smaller plastic tube inside, screws onto the corny disconnects.

It's a 5 gal corny. Regulators for a CO2 tank is on my list of things to buy. Maybe ask for them as a birthday or christmas present. Right now the cartridges are filling in until I can afford the regulators and tank. I'll change the line, hopefully tomorrow.

Hey everybody, I'm a student and I've finally achieved what most students would be rather jealous of. I have a keg in my room. Now I don't have to leave the room for beer. :P However... 1) I've currently got a winter stout being consumed from it. The CO2 is a 16g cartridge system and I've...

Hi all, I found a Hard Lemonade recipe on this site and accordingly went to buy Lemon Juice. However when I got back, I found out that the lemon juice had Potassium Metabisulphite (ppm unknown) in it as a preservative. Can I still use this to make Hard Lemonade? I have 3 litres of the...

Hi all, I'm looking to do a Hard Lemonade recipe. My issue is finding the lemonade concentrate. I live in the UK and it's very hard to find over here. Does anybody know where to find it? I live in the South if that helps.

Ended up priming with treacle and glycerine. Trying to make it fairly dry but end up with a decent mouthfeel. (I had leftover treacle from a treacle tart recipe.) I'll leave it in bottles for a month before cracking one open.

I recently made a Edme Stout from a kit and it's ready to bottle and prime. However it isn't as thick as I would have hoped a stout would be. I'm wondering if I should/could prime it using something like syrup or treacle and that would hopefully make it the consistency of something like...

No expected FG given. I thought 4 days was a bit early but it said 4-6 days so I accepted it until it just restarted bubbling.

I got an Edme Superbrew Gold - Dry Extra Stout kit a week or so back. The instructions said it should ferment within 4-6 days. I was in the kitchen/brewery for about 20 mins and the airlock didn't bubble once. It's been about 4 days so I thought it was fine and then added a pack of finings. I...

Hi all, I was reading the free Sam Adams glass promo thread and it got me thinking. Does anybody know of any similar promotions in Britain? Cheers. :mug:

Thank you everybody. This is all really helpful. :) How much carbonation would everybody suggest for a stout? I'm looking for a smooth, silky/creamy textured finish.

Hi everybody, I know these questions may seem basic and I know that at least one of them will probably make you roll your eyes and scream at the computer and for that I apologise. 1) I have a stout brewing. It's soon going to be coming to the end of it's life in the fermenter and ready to...

As a n00b to brewing, all I can say is thank you for helping me when I've had a question or two. In regards to the search function, think of it like Google but it's a lot harder to work out what's irrelevant and what's not. That's why n00bies like me ask once we can't find what we want on...

Hi everybody, I've done two kit-in-a-can brews (cider - bottle conditioning, Irish stout - fermenting) and I'm looking to do my first extract brew. I rather like stouts, porters and ales. I'm wondering if anybody has any recipes suited for a 5 UK gallon/22.5l fermenter. Biggest pots I have...

I like this one for a new brewer inviting people over to taste his first brews, on one condition. PIDE - Providing It Doesn't Explode.

Bottled my cider today. Carbonated 5 UK gallons with 1l pressed apple juice (not from conc.) which had just over 4oz sugar in it. FG was 1.015. Is this too high for a cider?
