What was the recipe you made? We can help you figure out the starting gravity if you let us know the ingredients. Did you de-gas the sample? I'd imagine it would be done after 5 days if it kept warm enough. How much pressure do you have it under?

Another vote for Kveik. Give Voss a go and see if you like the beer it makes. Probably your best bet in your fermentation time frame.

That's a fantastic deal.

I forgot to add - use an oven glove or tea towel. The can will be really hot to touch! Of course it will be hot, but some people (me) forget that.

As @Drubbing said, submerge in got water before opening. When you open it, keep the lid nearby. Once you've poured all of it in, fill the can about 1/3 with boiling water. Place the lid back on top and leave for a few minutes before tipping that in too. This will help get all of the last bits...

Nah, it'll just be weaker. You can top up with a touch more of the enhancer if you want.

Spunding valve on the post with the dip tube?

Bummer. I hope you find an easy solution 👍🏽

https://kegsofftap.com.au/product-category/keg/beer/ This is one place. Have not used them, but have heard of them. You could brew your own?

Great beer. I'd buy the Galaxy. But, you could sub something into that mix and it would still turn out favourably.

It won't make that noise the whole time. Only until the keg fills with pressure.

If you mean home brew kit like fermenter and bottling gear, it's probably easier and cheaper to grab that as a kit bundled together. If you mean the whole hog, I'd be inclined to agree with @Stuart99. Have a crack at fermenting and packaging first. You'll still need all that gear later on. Try...

Trust the hydrometer 👍🏽 It's the only way to really know where it's up to. The air lock bubbling could be a number of things - it's not necessarily showing fermentation, just that gas is being released from the fermenter. This could be due to temp or pressure changes. Having said that, a couple...

👍🏽 What FG were you expecting? What were the ingredients?

I always found the Coopers stuff pretty consistent. The Pale or English Bitter are both good and similar to what you've been making.
