I've got a bunch of kegs for sale on facebook market place, s type kegs with connectors and adapters to ball type disconnects. Used for years, no problems Gerni needed to clean and modified socket to remove stems but all good. Got a 50 lt keg to go with the 5 sankey kegs.

Thanks man, I will check it out.

Guys I've been using the white plastic check valve type for months, not sure if works or not, can't blow through either way but gas under pressure does, seams to slow the flow a lot too, is there a better one around? Ie is the other one way valve better than the check valve...

Just a follow up to this brew...oh my god, tastes great . put it on tap after 17 days under house ,cooled for a day in fridge then gassed up overnight. drank all day watching Bathurst, friends thought as i did that it was a great tasting beer. FG ended up being 1.002 from 1.038 so about 4.5%...

cheers n87, i did a sparge with about 10 lt, should have gone a bit more.

Thanks Klangers, I will keep an eye out for those calculators, I really needed to check the temp after i hydrated the grain too manticle. I thought that absorption might have been an issue. The level was a lot lower than i expected from prior brews I will endeavour to make a measuring stick as...

Hi guys, I made a brew yesterday of DR Smurtons ale, BIAB. i had a basic recipie for a 20lt batch and used brewmate to increase the batch to around 44lt. I started with my 50lt keg for the mash, started with 35 lt of water to 68deg, added bag and grain, almost 10kg. I wrapped vessel and left for...

marksy, i had exactly the same thing happen on my latest brew. I used whirlfloc tablet and let cool overnight. I came back to the same globules suspended in my beer. great to hear its harmless. This whirl pool you speak of, i can imagine what it means but could you just let me know the best...

just an update for anyone following still..Beer went into kegs today, OG was 1046 FG was 1006 , i think that should be about 5.3%...a lot higher than i was expecting. Tasted a drop to see how bitter it was because of my ignorance and its bitter all right but not terrible. I will be chilling in...

Wow, beer mate learned me a new thing....Mash hop....that might explain why the bitterness is off the wall....oh well. I guess i've made an IPA after all...we will see in three weeks .

thank you Lord Raja Goomba I, I was trying to make a version of craftbrewers Nelson Sauvin Summer Ale.not sure if its a pale ale or an ipa.great to know I haven't blown it they estimated OG at 1.050 so i hope it to be around 4.5%.abv.I will take a look at Brewmate and see if i can use it. So...

hey mate, cheers and point taken, stealth is always the best option....pix wise. Deano

Hi Marksy, my round about way of a question was meant to be is adding water to my brew post mash going to ruin my beer. I only had a 50 lt keg to boil in and wanted to end up with 45 lt of beer prior to pitching my yeast. i have made it now and probably broke all the rules but let me know what...

hi all, on advice from Austin I posted this email as....wait for it....a post. Not sure if its the right place but, i'm sure it will be o.k.The only thing I did different was the final hop addition as i was away from the computer in my shed yesterday when i made it and i put the last hops in at...

Awsome mate, thanks again......
