York Brewery Stonewall Bitter kit. :D
Has a bag of Hop pellets with it so should be interesting.

Also bought a Muntons Gold Continental Pilsner

Bought my first King Keg too, eventually hoping to use it for secondary fermenting, before decanting into a Corney (when I can afford one).....

Question..... which'd be better conditioned in the KK with gas? I'm guessing the Pilsner....... is this correct?

Nope. You want the pilsner in the corny. Lager type beers have a higher carbonation rate than bitters. KK's can only handle 3-4psi i think, where the corny can take 120+

You could even force carbonate the pils in the corny if you didn't want to muck about with priming sugars.

Ahhhh.... the flaw in that plan ..... I can't afford a Corney just yet :oops: :oops:
Would the Pilsner be too much for the KK?

If so no worries.... I can bottle the Pilsner and KK the Bitter.....
