Jim's Beer Kit

did you swap the yeast for a larger one? as most kits come with ale yeast so you've fermented to cold hence it sticking.

tried spanner with all my strength, although i don't have a vice i can put it in, so have to hold the regulator in one hand and the spanner in the other. good idea on ptfe tape i'll do that don't want to waste all my gas.

so i tried to swap over the dial today but can't seem to undo the low pressure lpm one, anyone got hints or tips on how to get it undone?

yep i used maltmiller to get an idea of parts. i just can't see how to get 3/8 od line into a jg fitting. my 7/16 TO 3/8 ADAPTER is the same also but the thread section on the disconnect is to long for it to attach. disconnect looks like this http://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/images/uploads/Image%205.j...

with out pointing to exactly what i'm bidding on, http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Beer-Equipment-/67141/i.html or http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_odkw=&_osacat=67141&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR12.TRC2.A0.H0.Xbeer+font.TRS0&_nkw=beer+font&_sacat=67141 if you are looking for ones with discone...

check ebay there are lots of pub clearance taps appearing on there. i'm currently in the process of getting some crome taps with flow controll for hopefully not much money.

so bit of a thread hijack but in a similar situation, i've got a regulator http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NTAwWDUxMg==/z/1t0AAOSwqu9VOj~2/$_12.JPG a jg fitting for it and a jg fitting for the gas in post. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271764985235?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2648&var=570594009169&ssPageName=STRK...

can anyone link me to a good corny regulator? most of the ones i've seen got up to 100 or 200 psi on the keg dial so dialling in low psi for serving is hard.

where did you get c02 from in the end and what was the price?

I made one with a 1 can coopers stout kit( sorry ditch) 500g lactose, 500g dark spray malt and 500g dark brown sugar, then added 80g cocoa powder mixed in boiling water and 6 double espressos after primary had finished and bottled it. it took a couple of months to settle down but is now a lovely dri...

I'm also looking I found http://www.londongases.co.uk/view/co2-beer-gas-315kg and http://www.awsmith-calorgas.co.uk/our-shop/beer-gases/. North west London is missing a good brew shop also

yeah bottle lager unless you like it warm and flat.

or just a plate chiller, although that might undermine the getto setup a bit.

i think the standard is about 6-8 grams per liter for a larger. i tend to use 80gms in a 20l brew length for ales but thats quite flat

first question how much beer in the fv and how fizzy do you like it and is it getting bottled or barreled?
