a two can kit has enough fermentables not to need extra sugar ..


Mine was a 2-can and still wanted an extra 80g of sugar.

Realizing that I've downed 38 pints in a little over two weeks, I decided to put my next purchase on hold for a couple of weeks

The only excuse I can make is the weather has been very hot

you will only need some priming sugar.

which is minimal and can be found in the kitchen...

I read the instructions, three times.  That's what it said.

Wilko's have this for £19 (no bulbs)

http://www.wilko.com/home-brew/wilko-co2-injector/invt/0022563?VBMST=barrel%20home%20brewing

Or eBay has this for £24.49 (with 20 bulbs)

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271006442909?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

I'll go for the eBay one as the bulbs are around £4 / 10.

I was toying with the idea of getting a bucket with a tap with an air lock (this is the type my Dad had in his home-brewing days).


The bucket with the Lakelands kit just relies on you "cracking the lid" on the bucket every-now-and-then to release pressure. Seem a bit cheap.


Is there a reason you can't just drill a hole in your lid any fit one of these..?

I didn't bother . . . after the initial foaming it regulated itself O.K in the end . . .

i have holes in my fv's to fit an airlock,
 it gives you an idea as to how things are going...but not really needed,

 just make sure you keep derbis and fruit flies out of the bucket....

Mines gone quiet, not had to release any pressure since the weekend..hopefully ok.

Did manage to get nearly 30 bottles off my family...only asked them last Friday!  Piss heads

...some of them might be mine...
