Jim's Beer Kit

Cheers for that. I don't know how I missed it. I do only need the o ring that sits in the tap before the spout though. I'm sure an o ring would be penniesif I could get the measurement.

Can anyone tell me the size of the washer, it seems like a double lipped one, from the tap to the spout.
Mine seems to have disintegrated....

Kegged mine today, only got to 1004. Brewed at a constant 20 degrees, So 2.5% ish but taste great...

[/quote]How long did it take to start? What size batch? What was the O G?[/quote]

Activity in less than 24hrs (temperature controlled 19C), 23l & 1042OG

Added more yeast as a safety net.

I've got a backup packet of Wilkos Gervin, somewhere.....
Just didn't know if to leave it to its own devices ( got a good bulge in the lid) or add anyway ?

EDIT ' It was in the fridge' !
Cheers DAN !

Got a kit pale ale all ready to go, snipped open the yeast and realised I'd forgotten to take the temp of the wort. It was too warm to pitch so I left it, unfortunately when I did come to pitch, I shook the yeast packet up and sprayed half of in on the floor, forgetting it was open. I pitched anyway...

I started one yesterday and it registered at 1024. Will let you know where it ends up, Hopefully stronger than 2% !

on the intertap site it days the 100mm shank is ideal for mounting through walls of upto 65mm, so i think the shank is 100mm in total rather than mounting through 100mm

I haven't ordered yet, let us know what you think of them.
Cheers

Had to google the taps, I thing your options are : 1) hacksaw and a file if your using brass shanks to chop back and square off, and an angle grinder and belt sander if its stainless steel. 2) if space inside the fridge is a premium, consider an external spacer, a nice bit of seasoned oak or a bit ...

Does anybody know of a supplier where I can get shorter Stainless shanks for INTERTAP Taps.
I'm doing a large upright fridge conversion and need only 5cm or so to maximise the number of kegs I can squeeze in !
They only do very long (10cm) or Very short (for towers)
Thanks in advance

I love the Razorback. It's the only kit I've done more than once.
I've recently kegged the Youngs APA and like that too. It's seems a little more rounded with some malt coming through, than the razorback, but still just as good, well.... nearly..

Let us know what you think.

Cheers Donald. Thanks for the advice. Although, I think we may be talking about different Lagers. http://www.homebrewwest.ie/bulldog-lager-29-kg-best-before-end-nov-15-4986-p.asp This is the one I got, so no additions needed. the only thing I can imagine it being is the Bulldog Cortez Gold Mexican C...

I picked up a few (unbadged) and dated (11/15) Bulldog lager kits online (4.5%). Brewed the first as per instructions, and it's come out OK. I've 2 more on the go @19 deg and fancied dry hopping. I have 100g of Chinook & 100g of Cascade pellets waiting and wondered of anybody had done anything simil...

For the first ever time I have too many kegs for my Kegerator. I've cold crashed a Davy Crockett Hop Rocket & a Lions Pride and transferred into Cornys. Purged the air out with Co2 and sealed up to 40psi. I can't keep them cold anymore, should I top up the Co2 periodically until I have room in the K...

For the first time I've got plenty of brews on the go. 2 are kegged & 2 fermenting. I am force carbing the kegged ones but only have a 2 tap fridge at the moment. When I've got all 4 kegs filled what's the best way of storing them? I have an Evil dog IPA which I think is going to need a lot of time....
