Hi guys Just after a bit of advice, I have 750ml Mangrove Jack swing top bottles that I want to put Seltzer in. I want it Carbed a bit more than beer, so was thinking 3 carbonation drops per bottle. Do you reckon that would be all right? Any other suggestions? Thanks

Hi I already own 6 O'clock Brews and looking to buy at least one other book by Peter Symons. I'm currently in the process of making the 1942 Cascade Sparkling Ale from 6 O'clock Brews. I'm interested in brewing a post 1950's Cascade Beer. Ideally something from either 70's or 80's. I can't see...

Hi Sorry if this has been asked before but I searched and couldn't find an answer. Its probably a stupid question. I got a mini keg for my birthday from a relative and I recently purchased another 4L empty mini keg so that I can have 2. In a pinch e.g in between brew days when I would...
