Cook 200g of porridge in water and add to the mash, will give body and add to the flavour, also a nice creamy head

I connect the gas to the cap and loosen the cap to purge air out, then pressurize the bottle to the same as keg pressure. Stops it foaming up when you start filling from the keg.

Arent forklift gas bottles normally aluminum?

Whats brown and sticky? A stick.

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy. ..
