It all transferred overnight whilst in the fridge, all good. I'll keep practising and see if I can't get this worked out.

Heh...plastic is definately off ;) Ross, I'll give you a call tomorrow if I'm home in time. thanks.

Air doesn't seem to be getting in, except for the CO2 i'm using to push it. Did also dump the first schooner or so from the tap to stop mega yeast flowing in. I've put both kegs into the fridge now, will let them settle for w hile and try the rest.

I just recently received a beer filter from Craftbrewer. This one to be precise http://www.craftbrewer.com.au/shop/details.asp?PID=720 I tried to do gravity filter, but got no-where. grabbed an empty keg, decanted into that and started under very low pressure ~10kpa to push hte beer through...

I'll check it out. thanks for the advice. I *think* it is a micromatic.... Actually, without going out in the rain to the garage...I am nearly 100% sure it is this one http://www.micromatic.com/draft-keg-beer/r...rs-pid-642.html

It isn't in the gauge, foam did come out the reg knob though....as soon as it started I cranked it up and blew it back through to the keg.

I have a (possible) problem and a question. I'l lstart with the problem.... this morning I turned the pressure down on my reg, and forgot that I'd filled the keg right up to the gas in pipe!! So beer came out of the reg :( Is this as bad as I imagine it to be? does it need professional...

already lazied up.... :beerbang: Just noticed the rinseaid was empty...so refilled with white vinegar. I'll see how that goes.

I'm pretty lazy, so I reckon I'm gunna try normal dishwashing, but after it is unpacked, I'll rinse the beer glasses in very hot water with white vinegar. I reckon that has to work....well good enough for me anyway...

thanks Ross, so they are actually for gassing the beer, rather than just bottling already gassed/kegged beer right?

do those carbonator caps take both the liquid and gas disconnects? They look great, just wondering exactly how to use them.

Merry Christmas!! I got a keg system....no more bottling for me. Actually I got it on Friday, so the first beer will finish gassing up this morning...I hope.

I cultured it from the dregs from each bottle (hoping I have the right terminology). I emptied the bottom 2cm from about 4 longneccks into a coke bottle with some wort. slowlyu stepping it up oer about 5 days until I had a goodly amount. It worked perfectly, brewed out the last batch nicely...

So what I gather (and please corrrect me if I'm wrong) is that I should add some distilled water to this, then shake and leave for a bit, and pour off the top bit, and discard the bottom. Repeat as required until very little hops etc left? Coopers yeast clumps together pretty well, so I'm...

Cheers for that. I did a quick search but didn't see that one. I currently purchase about 8 - 10 longnecks of coopers per week, specifically to get the crown seals wouldn't you know :P I just thought it would be easier with such a huge amount of yeast, rather than the tedious process of a...
