That’s promising ! None in my local sainsbury though and ‘online’ says ‘not available ‘ .... thanks for the nod .. might try a bigger branch ... like Bristol .

Managed to order some from ‘drink supermarket ‘ but limited stock . Not as cheap as ‘4 for 6quid ‘ at Tesco though !!

Good afternoon guys. A few weeks ago I had a go at brewing a beer that I’ve been drinking for a few years now down in Somerset from Cheddar ales called Potholer. I’ve visited the brewery a few times in the past to collect a small keg of draft for weekend drinking, imo it’s a beautiful well balanced...

Anyone know why fullers 1845 disappeared from every supermarket shelf ? Has it? Hell's teeth! But it's not too hard to make a decent clone of it. After all, that's what this site is about! I make a batch every year (but none ready for this Christmas, drat). I’m intending making 5 gallons of London ...

You reckon? [emoji23]

Considering there have been only half a dozen posts in the commercial beers category (mainly from me) I thought I would ask again in a more relevant category . Sorry if this offends anyone .

What do you mean Lee ? I thought it relevant to both categories. One post was about a beer the other about a yeast ??

Followed instructions and just barrelled a lager . Tried it through tap and it flows well and is pretty clear ... obviously have to wait a few days for carbonation and clarity .. but I am very happy so far and no foaming problem .

Case solved!!! In case anyone else has this problem . The main trick is you have to feed a new line down the font from the tap end . Problem with this font was it is packed with polystyrene at the bottom which wouldn’t budge and needed drastic attack to mole through to fish the line out . https://up...

I’m totally confused by the in post/ out post debate . Why can’t I cut the beer out post and fit the float to it ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk You can indeed cut the beer out dip tube but they are difficult, if not impossible, to replace. Making the Cornie worthless if you want to sell it. M...

Sorry about the orientation but here is a piccie of the very first beer out of the cornie using this float device. For me this is the clearest brightest beer I have ever served from a cornie. This is carbonated in the keg using priming sugar not force carbonated! http://i1272.photobucket.com/albums...
