Ive spent a fortune so far the more i look into it always have stuff in the pipeline for the next pay check, but i could see myself investing in this equiptment in the future out of frustration! I was only thinking of an ipa as i like them also so that sounds interesting thanks have you tried...

Cheers for all the info guys im 4 months into this and been busy working but the last few weeks ive learned a lot i have 3 cornys full of beer, 2 lager 1 stout today i tasted the 3 after a funky taste last week and after a week chilled in corny kegs and i can put my hand up and say the 3 are...

Ive watched a few videos on diacetyl im thinking that might be the problem with one of my kegged beers

Wow thats really low to start! My problem is i start fermenting with kombucha at 75f so i always thought lower fermentations would be risky. I have been thinking id get away with brewing a bucket and leaving it sit in cold ambient of about 50 to 64 but dats probably why i messed up some batches...

The yeast i used for the first batch said up to 15c and it was at 18c so hopefully im ok with that and i have them both slowly dropping to about 12c. I have a chest freezer with my corny kegs so i may need another to use as a fermenter

I havnt used a starter yet i was thinking the dried yeast is a safe fix for now! Ive made 2 lagers since yesterday, the first a european pilsner and i used safelager s-23 and the second was bohemian lager yeast M84 for bohemian lager. I pitched both into the worth at about 65f and i was...

Im new to home brewing and Im focusing mainly on lager as its what I drink. Ive watched tons of videos etc on brewing but just want to see if I can get extra advice on the whole process! After pitching powder should i allow to ferment at a higher temp and for how long? How long can i leave in...

Still no clue what i can do with this miller tap as im only familiar with the threaded tap handles

My other tap arrived and looks much better quality then the other i might just ditch dat or try find a faucet dat fits as the one on my assembled tap doesnt

Im currently setting up my kegerator system and im hoping to install my taps soon. I have 3 corny kegs, two im using for lager and beer the other specifically for stout which i will source a stout faucet. I have purchased two taps. One is a cheap faucet comes as described in the pic and the...

Turns out if was the wrong regulator!! Hopefully with this new one ill make better progress!

I wasnt sure myself its how they came unless they stuck a spare in but seems to have worked with two but if ill find out if i just need one ill take the other off if it is spare

Ill try dat do you spray the starsan direct or solution?

I have a similar problem i have brewed Irish stout and it has an over powering sour vinegar like taste. I heard stout can take time to condition but i have a feeling its a bad batch. I was thinking i could wash the yeast but after reading this im thinking best be safe and start fresh.

I was worried maybe they were bad quality but seems ok now its all under pressure. There is so much i through a blind eye, when i began a few months ago but im finding you cannot ignore anything as it will come back to haunt you! Im pretty sure my keg posts will need changing soon, MLHB store...

I have noticed one of the 3 kegs is a different size in height but they fit perfectly into my chest freezer with more space that i might use for conditioning extra bottles. I noticed when i filled my last keg there was suds slipping out of the lid. I stuck the lid back on but same result. Im...

Thanks for all the info guys im 8nly at this a few months and i have learned a lot from all this advice. I was unable to source EVA tubing but i may stick to MLHB stores recomendation for beer and gas lines to tie me over. I spoke to a guy in the store and he says if i fill my van with all my...

I agree they are hard to source for cheap. Im based in Ireland and i found a place that sold me 3 refurbished corny kegs for €65 each ($79) and thats a lot lower then anywere eose offered.

I was originally led to believe that keeping on the gas is the way forward but i have had issues and possibly from not paying enough attention and busy with work! I have read the temperature charts for psi volume and im still scratching my head around when is the perfect time to know when ure...

That system would work perfect for me and probably much handier with the gas manifold so i can just use the valve to reply gas as i would be concerned the keg post would have a higher risk of being worn or damaged by constantly removing them. From the start i was leaving my beer on gas around...
