Title: Another beer brewer from Bray
Post by: Larry on March 19, 2013, 11:01:11 AM
Hello to everyone!
I had this idea to brew beer at home for few years and finally, last week, I've purchased my first brewing beer kit with King keg. Coopers Canadian blonde beer kit is in fermentation process. Looking forward to keg it in few days :)

Welcome Larry and the best of luck with it! We look forward to hearing how it tastesd in a few weeks time!

Have a look in the Kit section to learn a bit from the Kit brewers on here and also have a look at the South County Dublin Club section for your nearest meet up. We're meeting up tomorrow night!

If we don't see you tomorrow, maybe you might make it in for the next tasting night!

I just don't understand how should I transfer beer from FV to keg avoiding contact to the air?
I would be happy to come tomorrow to Blackrock meetup and talk about it with you guys. If you don't mind?

Of course not, sure that's what we're here for, helping each other out! Stick your name on the list:

Kick-off is at around 20:00 at the dark horse in black rock. But if you get there earlier I'm sure some one will be about! Not sure when I'm arriving yet!

What they mean is no sloshing it around in the transfer, nice and slow and gentle, avoid bubbles.
