Yeah I was nervous the first few times leaving some break in there but I've done it many times now. No issue for me.

Hey jurule. How did this turn out? I'm interested if the mint flavour came through.

As for this one, I've only just started fermenting in Willow Jerry Cans for the same reason as yourself to maximise space. Also, I'll be fermenting single batches in a bar fridge and the Jerry Can is the only thing that fits. There are some other posts regarding this method. Have a search on...

Hi DuaneS Welcome to the forum. Most AHBers don't bite so feel free to post your brewing relevant questions. Regarding your question, I use a HeatPad and stand it on its side or place it on a shelf to heat the air inside the fridge. I've been using a glass (you could use plastic) 1.5L bottle...

Yes, I experienced something similar the first time I did a double batch brew day. Screwed my water and boil-off calcs due to rushing and the brews were diluted a little. Luckily they turned out alright though. Tasted like Mega-Swill but drinkable. All my friends thought they were great...

Yeah, I know what you mean. I've done two before and thought I'd never do that again. Oh well... Had to push through... With BIAB and one vessel (Urn) I was restricted to a sequential batch process. I can see how the three tier setup would allow for some overlap.

I have four kegs (purchased from CB while the four keg special was still running :D ). Emptied the first one with lots of help at a Christmas party. The other three all blew within a few days of each other last week. I had some help with those too but... you know... Maybe not that much...

Yep, try Knappstein as its all NS and only Pilsner malt (so the rumour goes). So it will give you a good NS flavour without too much complexity. I had a bad brew with NS once, mixed it with other hops. Didn't taste too good. I went off it for a while until I tried Knappstein. Now I've made...

I'm about to move to fermenting in Willow 20L Jerry cans. I NC in the Jerry can and often add hops for APA or AIPA. But up till now I've poured the wort once cool into a barrel fermenter through a strainer (hop sock) and was able to remove the hop debris. Has anyone had any issues like grassy...

Yeah, thats what I was thinking. I did the same for a while as I have more kegs than Gas hoses. So each time I connected a hose back up I could hear gas going in. Thought I had a leak but realised that the liquid was absorbing gas.

How did you determine you had lost pressure? Did you open the relief valve and there was no sound of gas escaping?

Yeah it probably would if I didn't put the keg in the centre of the bin.

Dude, I put it off for so long. Had an Oktoberfest party at my house where we emptied 50+ tallies (long neck). That was the deciding factor. I had to pour/decant every bottle, and the clean up was a b1tch... I once read in a post on AHB referring to the cost of kegging, "... not having to...

So I had a party coming up in a week, I'm new to kegs, and I needed a quick cheap single portable keg cooler option. I searched around AHB and other websites trying to find a suitable option. Went to the big green shed looking for inspiration... And there she was... A 45L Push "Bullet Bin"...

It does feel wrong... yet so right... Well with 200g of Cascade!!! :icon_drool2:

Sounds good! Looking forward to it. I'm rallying the troops as we speak.

What else you got on tap today? I'm heading out tonight for some xmas drinks with the lads. Planning on taking them to Hart Pub to keep them (and especially me) away from the swill. :lol:

That's fantastic! I've been thinking about getting a CP filler but wanted a solution for different sized/type bottles. Hmmm, this may have sold it for me. As I was reading through the post, a thought crossed my mind. I was wondering if it would be beneficial to perhaps have the CP filler on...

What do you use for the line?

FYI - Greasing the pin in the QD and pushing it in a few times fixed the issue. Thanks for the advice.
