Looks good let us know how it turns out.

I have the 5L fill it and let it chill in the fridge overnight, then set you reg to 16PSI, tip it on its side and rock for 3 minutes, turn the gas off and rock of another 30sec. Let it sit in the fridge for a few hours then if you have flow control taps go nuts if not release the pressure and...

The fermentation won’t be finished in 6 days I would give it 2 to 3 weeks. Let us know how it turns out. When coopers discontinued the ginger beer I stocked piled a heap of the cans (my wife likes it) and I only have one left so I need to find a replacement. Edit: I don't have any left, the...

Give it another 4 weeks to condition and carb. Did you prime the bottles?

Well I bought a mixed 12 pack of Samuel Adams from my local to try. The Amber Bock, Boston Lager and Winter Lager pretty much taste the same. I had high hopes for the Oatmeal Stout and Old Fezziwig Ale but they were also swill. Tonight I cracked the Chocolate Bock, bloody hell what a cracker of...

Just moved to the States and there are lots of beers to sample!!!!!!!!

My new Mate was a bit thirsty

Started to snow so I opened the snow pack..... Unfortunately I cracked my Sierra Nevada glass while washing it, the glass is very thin. Edit: The spices are very mild in the Wintertide Ale.

I have 4 5Lt from the second bulk buy. I will have a look this weekend. When they were used at xmas my wife compained about a metallic taste in her ginger beer. I drained my kegs fairly quick and they were upright the whole time and the beer seemed ok. She took alot long to get through hers and...

I just jammed a wine cork in the hole. Havent got around to bogging it up yet.

What are you guys using to siphoning? My KK auto siphon is a prick of a thing. I have to keep rotating the seal and it only seals properly halfway up the tube. Edit: spelling

If one of the suppied seals was used between the reg and the disconnect i reckon it would restrict the flow when compressed. I used thread tape and set my regs to 5psi before i connect the disconnect to the tank and haven't had any problems so far.

I added some paper towel to catch the drips. I find if i hold the lip of the glass on the edge of the tap after i have finished pouring i can drain the beer left in the tap and limit the drips. Edit: Bloody tappatalk double posting

Was visiting the local IGA and spotted a heap of these foam tubs in the fruit and veg area. The 5lt tanks fit perfectly.

Was your beer already carbonated? If it wasn't then yes it normal as your beer has adsorbed the Co2.

Nooooooo i hope it's gets rebuilt i always drop in when i am down that way.

I haven't got around to cutting the silicon tubing for the dip tube yet What's the optimal length?

Techobabble66 has nailed it. When i started out i found my beer had a slight cidery taste and it was probably a combination of the coopers yeast and my process at the time. I could detect the cidery flavour even when i only used 500g. I like to keep my beers around the 5% mark. My process is...

I double checked them, maybe my hydrometer is up the shit, i did buy it back in 2002. It was just the cooper kit yeast but it had an INT at the end of the number which i haven't seen before. I know the coopers kit yeast has had a bad rap and even i went off it for a while but i think is has...

I only use raw sugar in my brews and have done since mid 2002, I don’t like the flavour dex adds to my beer. I have tried brew enhancers but I am not a fan of dex so I keep going back to the raw sugar. I normally only add 1kg and I remember thinking the the OG reading of 1060 was a bit odd so I...
