Also a similar setup but for a SodaStream bottle. Useful if you are out and about or run out of the biggie. Out of interest, which gas do you use for your stouts ? Pure nitro or a blend ? @stquinto Sainter 75 Nitro 25 COx - comes in separate higher pressure Nitro Cylinder w own higher pressure Regulator... alas this is now empty too as it can be used also to dispense CO2 beers... @Tone boy mate the mini reg is what you see all there in the photo - just the bulb cut off in photo - It should dispense 9L of beer supposedly: 1 X 16g CO2 Carbon Dioxide Gas Bulbs: 16g of food grade CO2 is contained in each bulb. 16g will dispense up to 9ltr of beer. Used with K1062 & WI26001 products BUT I cannot see the mini-reg anywhere on the CPB site whence it came - admittedly some years ago now....? The Stainless Pluto Gun is just regulation issue which I use in my set-up... As a whole the Bulb Gas does not seem to last too long - I think there is some PRV thing going on releasing some gas when it shouldn't or I just got leaks I cannot pin down... If you just stood there and poured all 9L into glasses it might work to push the beer out -- noting that you have already gassed up the beer previously with the big fat cylinder -- it might push 9L out of a keg.... but if I leave it hooked up overnight no grunt anymore in the morning... But it is certainly useful if yer got nuttin' else My potential leakage issue is probably something the King of Gas me ol' cobber @Red devil 44 Reddler would resolve in a matter of minutes ; ) Edited January 13, 2022 by Itinerant Peasant 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 (edited) This Coopers Bootmaker Pale Ale is so much better than Pub Megaswill, I will definitely put this on my regular brew list, it is so satisfying, also getting to really like the Real Ale as well.

Secondly the PRV could be faulty, ( releasing earlier than what they are set to )I have had the same issue with those PRV,s, Hope this helps RD44 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stquinto Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 First tasting of an Australian IPA. Seems pretty dark Good and bitter, full bodied (malty) and you notice the 6.5% butcher’s bill… This is from a keg, it’s been on gas at 15 psi for about 5 days. Not overly carbonated. It has been maturing quite a while (at least 2 months) 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiek86 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Just under 27 hours in keg Golden Sazz Pills with California Lager yeast first use. @Shamus O'Sean very nice yeast can't believe the lager taste from a warm temp brew was sceptical with this yeast but genuine. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love a happy ending! Glad it all worked out well Phil . I had my Bootmaker PA a couple of weeks ago (with cascade and Galaxy) and it was really bitter, quite intense and not enjoyable. Cracked one tonight and bitterness had really faded and tasted great. Seems darker than yours though…maybe snagged an older can Edited January 14, 2022 by Tone boy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
