First pint nerves

Post by millemg » Thu Feb 23, 2012 9:15 pm

Well, I couldn't resist a try out ......

This is the basic "Young's Brew Buddy" kit beer that came with the starter kit, I did the basics, but used BKE, nothing else, just to see how it was....

I only bottled this on 9/2/12

It cleared nicely, and tonight I dispensed a 2L pet bottle into a 5L water keg,losing the sediment, and hooked it up to my pump.

Having just come in from the pub, I thought I would give it a go ......

WOW, I'm quite stunned at the results, I know it will get better in time, but I can't complain..... I may be staying in more often :D

Roll on "Cooper's" summer :wink:

EDIT : I'm now 80% down the pint, still have good head retention =D>

Looks fab. Does the woofer get whatever drips into the bucket?

Wow, nice pump setup, jealous.
The colour on that pint looks lovely, grats on the first pint.
