ANOTHER batch of Ditches stout Kegged today.... had one right out the fermenter in honour of the man... WOW! as usual!

Ten or twelve?!? F**k me, Bungers, That's gotta be some ..... well; Something, surely?

I mean, yeah. A lot of people come on here and rant and rave about it. But, then we don't really tend to hear from them again

I've genuinely never given a moments thought to whether anyone else out there was sticking to it, past the novelty point.

Good man!

I like it mate as my "always on" drink! I have a beer tap that I now serve it through and i keep it under pressure (i know you dont) BUT it serves like a pub pint and tastes BRILLIANT! i usually have "Ditches" on the tap and other stuff in bottles! so yea, its a constant in my house

Well; That's definitely worth one of these then, Bungers:

As the nearest (Known) thing to a fellow 'Full Timer', I'd be intrigued to hear whether you're considering doing the 'Xmass Special' version? Made up to only three gallons. Horse ownership optional

This stuff's So f**king serious, I don't know if I'll ever make it, for myself, again. I don't celebrate sh!t any more. Not even my own Birthdays.

But, I guess I really should buy in a couple of those 3 Gallon BK's. One each for the couple of guys I feel it worth making the gesture for.

I have 5 Gallon BK's rolling around here like Tumble Weed. It's just that I'd feel cheap, handing them a 5 with only 3 in it. The smaller, filled, keg would better convey the sense of Joe Pesci;

'Don't be fooled by the smaller size. This f**ka's Seriously Dangerous!'

Im bloody tempted mate honestly i am! you could (for your mates) brew 2 crimbo specials then "keg" them in a 10L polypin each! otherwise known as a "vinotainer" will look the part too then

whatevers left, you can then sup and enjoy

Got my 2nd batch on the go. I serve it with beer gas and it turns out thick and creamy. Yummy!

Hi Ditch,

This is an embarrassingly basic question, but what do you mean by "basic 5 gallon keg"?
Is it wooden?


Is this a metal cask that sits horizontally with a spigot on one end and a vent hole on one side?


Is it like a soda keg that sits upright with a hose off the top?


Is it a plastic party keg/pressure barrel?


Is it a plastic cube?


I'm wondering what you use, and if you have any pictures?

[Ditch]

" Basic Keg " / " BK " is generally accepted to refer to a white, plastic 'pressure barrel'. Only, being Basic, they tend to have a 2" neck and bottom tap. That's the ubiquitous, modern form anyway.

Gotcha. Thanks, Ditch. I'll have to check if we can get those in the US...

I'd happily brew ditch stout all week long but lack of space - only one Fv, I like a change I like to offer guests not just stout a little abit of variety etc. plus funds being a major issue do I brew something new or just the same old.
