Yes you should. I suspect like me you wont look back.

Or go one better and just use a bbq lpg reg connected to co2 as a cask breather. The only reason i can see you would do that is if your pump isnt fitted with a demand valve.

Wow. What a "bump"

You still need a tap with a restrictor for previous method not flow control. They are often called stout faucets.Some taps have provision for a restrictor, possibly intertap is one. Another cheap and cheerfully way is to make a Bronx pump from either a water sprayer or a caravan water pump...

Came out in their last quarterly newsletter from the last annual conference. Below is a copy of the motion and a link to the article. CAMRA now neutral on "cask breathers" Members decided to change CAMRA's policy on "cask breathers" - devices used in pub cellars to lengthen the life of cask...

I often collect yeast for a following brew. No prob. Just slightly aggitate the film on the top of the sludge after coldcrashing with a few mm of remaining beer. It will turn cloudy and pour that into the next brew. It may have a tiny amount of hop matter in it but that will just sink to the...

My guess would be a partial blockage somewhere else in the system. Distorted washer under a post? bit of hop matter lodged in a poppet? Dodgy dissconnect?

Simply put there is relatively little restriction in the line compared to across the restrictor/sparkler that variations in the line length are relatively low in comparison. The c02 reg will govern flow to maintain the set pressure. The pressure in the line regardless of length (to a degree )...

No it doesnt work that way because as soon as you have flow the static pressure drops and the line pressure drop across the hose would pail into insignificence compared to the restrictor. There is a poor mans way to do it but it wastes a bit of gas. You simply crank the reg up to 30psi. Pour...

Camra accepts co2 breathers now. And the floating dip or widget is a good suggestion. Personally i would just use a cube if i were to go that route.

I mucked round with all that stuff but now just throw em in when pitching the yeast. Cold crash before kegging and they all sink to the bottom. You het more flavour out of em this way.

Fitting a sparkler to a standard tap wont work very well as you need more pressure. This is what smoothflow is all about. Eg. John smith. Guinness.smithwicks. The hand pump increases the pressure at the sparkler to force the beer throught the small holes. Then you need to use cellermix gas so...

Anyone got a brewdog dead pony club clone? These come in at 3.8%.

Just kill the 1 bird with the inkbird.

Pooches are no doubt damn spoilt in the UK with often the best rooms in a pub reserved for patrons with dogs. Free dog treats on the bar are common also. As for a pump being mandatory it's purely personal preference. I have been to plenty of CAMRA events/pubs where they dispense direct from the...

I just throw in 80grams of dex in a syrup at kegging. Gives it a good amount of carbonation after a few weeks. Only time i use dex.

Hunting scene handle arrived whilst on the road. Shes a ripper.

Just last week picked up another angram cq pump with a check valve from a bloke who strips bars in mansfield near nottingham for 35 pounds. Luckily it was on my way up to yorkshire. Now posting from the grog and gruel in fort william where ther have 6 vintage angrams in operation. Also picked...

You wont regret this quinnie. Lives aboit to tet a little bit easier.
