Thanks. It stops wasting beer 🍺😊. Was almost a dry pub but now have two kegs almost ready for drinking and I will be setting away another kit soon. I may go for one of the more expensive kits with extra hops. 🍺👍
Hello DanieI. Idon't normally chill my ales. The ambient temperature in the cupboard is ideal for my taste. However, I have on occasions decanted some into sterilized plastic bottles and chilled them in a fridge (BBQ's etc.). I have also known friends that have used a small under counter refrigerator and set the keg inside with room to get a glass under the tap. Hope this helps answer your question. Take care. AJ
The tilt platforms look good ! Have you thought about purging the keg with CO2 to reduce the risk of oxidisation? And does your syphon tube reach the bottom of the keg? it looks a little short in the video!
Hi Dave. Sorry for the late reply. (Had a bereavement in the family). I do use CO2 when things slow down inside the keg. It does help to liven up the brew and obviously keeps the air off the surface. The syphon tube could possibly be a little longer or I could consider raising the keg when filling. Thanks for the comment and taking the time to visit my video. Take care and stay safe my friend. AJ 🍺
Hi Benny. Providing everything is clean and all seals/washers are in place you will be fine. Don't over tighten the tap when fitting it as you can damage the thread. Good luck with the brew bud 👍
I don't chill my kegs as the ambient temperature in the cupboard is fine for my taste. I do sometimes decant my ale into sterilised pop bottles and put them into the refrigerator for a while. Some home brewers use a small fridge and place the keg inside with enough room to get a glass/jug under the tap. Thanks for watching. Take care and happy brewing. AJ 🍺🍺🍺

Hi Matt. Sorry for the late reply. (Had a bereavement in the family). Actually that's a good idea. Maybe I will do one soon. There are so many brews to consider and some really good kits out there. Thanks for watching bud. Take care and stay safe. AJ 🍺
Now thats a cool little pub! 🫡 just brewed my first batch!.. its not good!😖 it kind of tastes a bit wishy washy and appley😩 Think I didn’t let it ferment for long enough-bout six days?
Hi and thanks for the comment. Probably needs a bit longer and certainly until it stops bubbling. Then at least a week or longer in the keg before sampling. Sometimes we just have to be patient 👍🍻 AJ
@@TheLifesGood cheers👍 its difficult waiting sometimes!🤣 I have another IPA on the go which I wont touch for at least 7 days when the hops need to go in✌️😉
@@TheAmateursOriginalMusic sounds good. Add the hops and wait four days or so before bottling/kegging. Then give it a good time for secondary fermentation to really work well. You will be pleased with the result 🍺🍺🍺
Good little video.
Love the pub.
Well I enjoyed this it was well presented plus like your ideal with the platform and have given me so much info and now I ready to have a go cheers.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for your support and comments. More videos coming soon. AJ 🍺
Nice tips, cheers
Great video, good idea with the keg platform 👍

Love the pub under the stairs. How do you cool your beer down to a nice ice cold one

Hi I’m going to fill my king keg for the first time next week but I’m a little worried about the tap leaking. Have you got any tips on that ?

How do you chill the beer in the barrel before drinking it?😊
