I buggered up and pitched a Coopers yeast for a draught at 14 degrees instead of the recommended 21 degrees plus. I also have realised I didn't have the heater plugged in so it's stayed at this temp for 24 hours. Should I get it to the required temperature and pitch again or will I be sweet...

How much water and PBW should I use when cleaning a corny keg? Likewise how much sanitiser and water do I use for the next step? Thanks 👍

Hi All I was lucky enough to get a kegerator for Xmas and am keen to start 'trying' to brew my own beer. I'm getting my hands on a fermzilla with a pressure kit and I've got a Cooper's Pale Ale kit which was cheap in case I bugger it up. I tried home brewing when I was 18 (many years ago) with...
