The home brew thread

[Crabbers]

Evening all

I was bottling today and I've done a little You Tube video showing how i bottle using the little bottler for any who are interested. Apologies for the voiceover and dodgy camera angle, but it wasn't the easiest trying to film and bottle at the same time.... though was possible!

Nothing to apologise for fella, nice to see it in action, I have ordered this and picking it up tomorrow, will be doing my American IPA this Sunday, as well as my second Wherry's (now that I have two fermenters!)

I like the look of that american IPA. Coming in at 6.5% too, it has definitely got to be one to try!

Good morning fellow piss cans. I've just ordered 5 easy kegs, they are 5 litres and can be used time and time again, also saving me space in the garage etc. Coopers stout is going on today, with a can of treacle and 1kg of spraymalt, with a reduced amount of water (not 23 but 20 lts).

That's the easy keg.

Thanks for the link; looks interesting.

I've wanted to get into kegging sooner rather than later, however due to not having a fridge big enough to house a typical Cornelius keg I've steered away from it.

That keg seems like it could be a winner, or there is also a mini keg system on there also, in which you can use the CO2 cartridges to carbonate your beer.

I still have a couple of wines doing so I don't need the kegs just yet, but I may invest. Worth it in your opinion?

People will know generally, but those dimensions should (I think) say 16CM (not mm) x 25cm high.

Again, if anyone wants anything from this place over the next few weeks, I work nearby so can bring it up at a City match should you not want to pay postage.

I've not seen these before but definitely look interesting. Would make storage much easier.

Last day of the £4 off American kits so I just ordered this one too, looks very nice:

I would say defo worth it and you only need to replace the top bungs every now and then. I brought two back from Scotland when I visited Ayr Brewing Company, and they work a treat, unfortunately I threw them away!.

After that shite tonight, I think I'll sup 40 pints of fermenting ale!.

Fancy giving this a go, can anyone recommend any decent ciders to try out?
