just wondering how people clean their ball valves - I am thinking I will just boil one up or chuck it in the presure cooker. esp for the boiler one - they get real stinky dirty real easy even with rinsing The valve i have is rated for much higher temps and pressures - what creates the seal ...

Well I've avoided chiming in up until now but things have really gotten out of hand back in my day..... I actually have something to say about this. With K+K there are so many things runnning against you (from personal experience) there are just so many different kits :blink: where do you...

Hey yaaall I know you can attach a car tyre valve to a PET bottle to carb beer for transport etc. Where can you get the air chuck to attach to you Co2 line to gas it up? :unsure: Lou

Ooooh love those sexy 3 piece stainless ball valves :wub: lou

I don't mind a drop of draught - if you get it on tap and get it really fresh it does have a nice freshness to it with a nice bicuity bready thing which isn't so bad - once its a bit older though - the sink is too good for it.

They use Nz hops which are very distinctive -reminds me of steinlager with big hop taste. I thought it was actually very hoppy for a stout - standard stouts don't have much hop flavour - gives a very minty effect when put with dark malts but still its not a bad beer by a long shot lou

I'm not sure you can mash carapils by itself. The one I tried had no enzymes and needed to be mashed with other malt grain - I haven't used that yeast but i have heard you can either add it and wait till it gets going and drop the temp or pitch at the rights temps. Live and learn lou
