Jim's Beer Kit

Good post. Thanks.

I had high hopes for this thread when I read the title.

But it wasn't what I was expecting.....

Ditch's Stout on Nitro....yum yum!

I have bought 2 sets of 3 from norm and they worked out £43.33 each posted.

I don't think that's a bad price to be fair as I doubt they ever drop in value.

I will try and find some in Tesco this weekend.

I used a old de icer bottle.

I have just cracked a coopers stout, ditch style, after 4 months! It's the best batch so far.

I had some Tactical Nuclear Penguin @30 or more % at one of the Brew Dog Bars........it wasn't what I would call beer!

I use payperparcel. Always been reliable.

I have a few stainless steel flexi ones for sale if you want one?

Edit. Just seen the ebay price and I cannot get them from my suppliers for that as they are industrial standard quality.

How long do you boil?

With both tins?

Any water?

How much hops for the and the dry hopping?

Sorry for all the Q's!

Over carbonated beer probably.

You will have to release some pressure and leave it for a day and the release a little more. Do this a few times then serve at 6 ish PSI. If its still the same repeat the above.

Make sure you haven't the sparkler attachment on the tap also.

I'm gong to brew this next Xmas.

Hi Frank, the new Festival range seem to get very good reviews. A brew shop in Runcorn I went into are saying they are the better kits on the market. I bought one but haven't tried it yet.

Ruby Red and Wherry are also firm favourites.

It seems the last pint is always the best so I have started to have 3-4 kegs conditioning for a 4 months. I have built up a running stock now so I always have a matured keg ready to go.

Thanks.
