You’ll have to try the Coopers XPA and The Hop-Sessed Session Ale. If priming with Co2 then chill in the fridge then prime if wanting to drink early, or leave a couple of weeks to mature at room temp, then chill and co2. If using a sugar base prime then add and leave at room temp for 2 weeks minimum to carbonate and mature. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tube should go up a fair way, make sure it is a clean square cut ie no burr on the end. If the tube is a bit “sloppy” you could wrap a bit of plumbers tape around it.

Dustin Frothman Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 I've got two sachets of the original liquid primer left and after the brew that is currently in the Droid finishes I am really looking forward to getting into the new solid primers and seeing what, if any difference these make other than ease of dispensing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is to avoid any possible gas problems whilst away. If the kegs are correctly sealed all will be well on your return. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big lesson learned - put the primer brick in the keg after filling. I haven't watched the 101 videos for a while but perhaps they've been updated to reflect the new process. I should check. Anyway, the bricks are great and certainly less waste (packaging wise) and should supply more accurate dosage. As soon as I put the first one in the keg cap neck I knew it would be a problem. Let's just say I managed to save the first keg and I won't make that mistake again. 😳 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fill the keg first, then add the primer and you'll be ok. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
