Dip what connections you can in a bucket of water. That will help with any slow leaks that the spray bottle of foamy liquid missed. You will probably see a very slow bubble form over time.

That price is incredible. Just got to get it to Melbourne somehow...

I just remembered i've also got the Peppermint Schnapps lying around. I made this like a month ago. The flavour is very much like the chocolate coated spearmint leaves you can buy. Not super intense spearmint flavour, but a nice all rounder. I'm trying to think what I would use this in...

I've purchased 4 of these sachets so far. I'm adding it to high proof neutral which I am diluting down to the recommended 40% abv. I am pretty confident that its a clean clear base for adding essences to and should allow the essence to shine through. Here are my thoughts: Glampari : this is...

Ok, 5 negronis down - got to be thorough in the testing. The Negronis are delicious using the glampari essence. Using proper campari, you get a sweetness in the mid to late palate, whereas the glampari has a more herbaceous note - this is far from a deal breaker and I am going to 100% make the...

Based on Fortmonty's review, I ordered 3 packets of the Glampari essence - I just mixed up a batch now. I am very impressed with this. Its very close to proper Campari. I'll make up some negronis, but based on initial testing, I dont think I'll be buying Campari much longer. Its got the...

Do complain. Do give a crap. Its the only way things will change. Also, this is probably just to avoid paying the tax excise like the other brewery did. Hawkers isnt going anywhere. Its just a tax savings strategy.

Plastic fermenters (pressurised) you get a few years of usage out of, before they need to be pressure tested. well worth the money and ease of entry IMO. If you do get the Kegland SS fermenter, just replace the tap with a three piece ball valve. These can be broken down for proper cleaning...

when I used to use carb drops - i found two really did a good job of over-carbonating my beer. Three might be a risk of explosion. Do 3 drops in a plastic bottle maybe, and see what happens. If the lid expands to the point it bulges out, then you know for sure it is too much sugar.

I don't think people are quite understanding the question being asked. He has already carbonated his champagne, and wants to serve it, presumably at events. But he is finding that it becomes flat after running through the ice chiller. Unfortunately, beer equipment isn't designed to keep these...

I don't think setting it much higher will be good for you. Instead, try have a few feet of coil after the ice bank so that the bubbles have time to go back into suspension. That would be a better bet imo.

the sticker says G40 - i presume its an older model though.... Its the second hand version that Kegland recently sold for $250 But yeah, G40.1 is basically what it is. Good to clarify.

Kegland. What pump do you suggest people pair with the g40 in order to pair it with the cooling coil? Also, Are we meant to use the 6mm outlet plugs, or the drain hole?

I have a bunch of HDPE fermenters - like 5 or 6 of them, and pressurised fermenters, and now a stainless fermenter...Its gotten out of control. I feel guilty just throwing them in the bin. Could I spray paint them, fill them with soil and then use them as planters for fruit trees? The spray...
