FV Tap Problems

[mdex]

Woo Hoo!

Its all arrived

Tubing, bottle tree and rinser!

I know what i'm doing tonight.

Good luck with it.

All went well.

Only a slight issue with the tops of 2 bottles breaking but overall I was pretty happy.

Took about an hour and a half to clean, rinse (need to make a no rinse solution), then bottle 37 bottles overall.

Had a little taste and.......... well............ it tasted just like flat lager!!! Woo Hoo!

Now 1 week in the warm then transferred to the outhouse for 3 weeks.

Can't wait!

There's always going to be a little hicup but it sounds like you're going to have plenty of lager for Christmas if you can keep your hot little stickies off of it

There still time to get another brew on for Christmas though.

Indeed, off to Wilkos on sunday either for an Australian Lager or a Scottish Export. Not decided yet.

Need more bottles though!

Hi mdex, might be a bit late now, but why don't you use brewmart in Sheffield, I don't know where about you are in Sheffield, but their address is: 2 Abbey Lane, Woodseats, Sheffield. S8 0BL, they look good and cheap too

PS. I have no connection with them, but, it's surely better to use your LHBS, than giving Wilkos you hard earned

Thats where I have bought all my kit so far but they aren't open sundays and I can't get today.

Also struggle to get in the week due to work. Makes wilko's an easy alternative.

I have exactley the same probs, Brewmart ( the one in Hillsborough) is only 5 mins from me but due to work its often closed when I can get there, so Wilko's works out great, although still manage to spend too much in there as yesterday I decided I needed another FV, more kits, a capper to bottle some(as I usually barrel), and I decided to make a nice strawberry wine for crimbo!!
