Instructions recommending 1kg of brew sugar... Has anyone used 2 bags of youngs enhancer for this stout. It's not the Irish one just the standard one.

Yea true. Will maybe have to invest at some point. I have ordered stuff from that shop before and free delivery which is a bonus. Thanks for the comments.

The problem is getting that refilled tho. I don't think the extinguisher company will fill it. Plus it's a little more costly than a fire extinguisher : /

Yea I spoke to the wee shop they said I can buy my own extinguisher and they will refill out no problem. I could ask them maybe to take dip tube out for me. I have a wee spring loaded clamp that will hold the handle down ok for me. Any preferences or links to a descent regulator?

There is 1 video on utube of some punter carbing keg via a fire extinguisher seems to work worth a shot and hopefully doesn't taint the taste.

Boc the company has it all tied up they supply to pubs and welder a etc.all using the rent a bottle thing. I have no other way really. So is the general consensus then that the extinguisher idea will not work properly as it will dispense liquid instead of co2 gas [emoji30]

Anyone??? : /

Hi there I am having great difficulty in sourcing somwere to get a co2 tank in Northern Ireland. Boc seems to have it well tied up and o don't want to have to go down the rent a cylinder route due to cost. I saw a post from 2011 when researching and saw some1 attaching a co2 extinguisher to a...

Well that would explain the slight fruitiness of my Canadian blonde then. Tho was quite subtle was a very nice beer. Much prefer to drink it instead of commercial beers.

So what's the difference then if I'm fermenting at 17-18 instead of 10-15. Have heard of a steam beer but what is it. Sorry completely new to this cheers

Well you learn something new every day ha ha.said on the instructions tho I've heard they are bin worthy to store between 18 and 24dc.sure see what happens next week. I've am ipa to try next aswell

Bout 18degrees c but it's dropping sometimes down to 17.5 at times. Limited on we're I can keep it out of the way of the kids etc.

Thanks for the info.i made the Canadian blonde using just 1kg of enhancer and it turned out really nice so thought I'd try making this one a little stronger by adding the extra kg of sugar and made 23ltrs instead of the 25 it said on tin. I'll leave it until next Tuesday and that will be 2...

Sorry it's just the youngs Pilsner and enhancer plus the 1kg of brew sugar

Hello there so on my second ever brew and starting sg was 1.045. I used 1kg of brewing sugar and 1kg of enhancer which is 50/50. I started it last Tuesday and took a reading there now which came out at 1.014. Still a lot higher than I thought it would be... Too high to bottle I think. Anyone...

So after a successful Canadian Blonde I put on a new batch of Coopers Pilsner. I decided to change it up a little. This time instead of using just 1 bag of enhancer (1kg) like I did the blonde... I used 1kg of brewing sugar and 1bag of enhancer 1kg. Has anyone out there done this and how did it...
