@robroy @Redrobo
I’ve brewed the public house IPA and the Stars and Stripes APA with tap water and both were very good indeed.
The fresh Republic lager wasn’t good at all, but I’ll accept I possibly messed up and when I do try it again, I’ll try filtered water.
Currently got a dark fruit cider conditioning for the Mrs which I’ll tap from tonight.
all in all a good bit of kit and a bit of fun and the results have in the main been good1 -
I have a Blade, a Pinter and a Perfect Draft.
Blade is the best machine, 8 litres, more cost effective than Perfectdraft and if you like the beers from the Heineken brand, the best choice in my opinion, and also has a cider.
Perfectdraft, is all about the beer range it has. Pouring a Kwak out of a beer tap brings a year of joy to my eye, it's truly an artform, and they have great beers, but even with keg returns, cashback etc, is still very expensive.
The Pinter is the best way to have a very cheap beer that you can also have some pride in by saying you made it. The build quality definitely leaves a lot to be desired but it will provide decent quality beer that you have, albeit very simply, had a real hand in.
Having bought the Blade, it's different level in terms of the build quality etc.1 -

Surely it's cheaper to buy cans?
Ice cold beer on tap which tastes better than cans.
That's about it mate.0 -
RedArmySE7 said:Took delivery of my Perfect Draft pump today. I'm currently in the process of building an office/bar in my garden to make working from home easier but also having somewhere to bugger off to for a beer at home.
Anyway, I thought until that's finished I would set up my Perfect Draft in the kitchen to test it out. Lady RedArmySE7 has put her foot down and said that's unacceptable.
So I have a dilemma.
Does anyone know where I can dispose of a girlfriend?1 -
SE7toSG3 said:Got my PD system from Holland a couple of weeks back now, it arrived quickly and easy to set up, chills to 3 degrees as expected, I have registered with Beer Hawk and so far ordered twice, first off I tried the Leffe Blonde and a German Alt Beer, the Alt Beer didn't arrive instead they had sent far more expensive 'Kwak', I was offered a return or to keep it along with 150 tokens for my trouble, anyone tried it, is it good?
Moving on, I then ordered some Jupiler and a German pilsner, in place of the pilsner came a keg of Jaipur IPA, same scenario, £10 more expensive and again I have opted to keep it and accept more tokens of good will.
Impressive customer service if fairly shoddy despatchers, so far though it has worked in my favour1 -
I'd like to slightly update my review of the Blade...
Yesterday thought I'd treat myself and put a fresh 8 litre barrel of Birra Moretti in, with my brother and fiancee.
Now at this point I had already had quite a few drinks...
Poured the first pint, let go of the handle and it just wouldn't stop pouring. I tried everything I could but it just wouldn't stop, luckily everyone was handing me jugs, pans etc so we didn't lose much of the beer but the upshot is we ended up having to get through 8 litres between the 3 of us.
I fell asleep on the sofa at about 7.45pm, I think.7 - Sponsored links:

I've had it for a couple of weeks but finally unboxed my Perfect Draft system on Saturday and loaded the first keg - so easy to set up.I had my first pint from it yesterday - Lowenbrau. Very, very impressed.Kegs of Leffe Blonde and Stella in the summer house (aka Man Cave) fridge just crying out to be drunk.1

Think the Perfect Draft machines (is that the right word?) are outdo stock at the moment, shame as they could be perfect for the summer of bbq’s I think the country is going to have. Instead of “Eat out to Help Out” this time round I hope Sunak announces a Perfect Draft scheme in the next budget!1

Had a look the other day at the PD and signed up for the waiting list. My only concern is a lot of the kegs I would go for are out of stock, that would
be frustrating.Is that a common occurrence?I’m an IPA drinker and don’t touch lager or any Belgian stuff.0 -

They have been having stock issues since Brexit (Unforseen Brexit issue not picked up by both beerhawk and supplier) but has been slowly get back on track. You have to move fast though.
I have been told there is a shop in St.Paul's Cray that stocks kegs.1 -

in terms of availability, they seem to update their website with stock at about 1400hrs, I saw that a few times and is how I bagged mine.0 -

Ordered a Pinter yesterday on the back of comments on this thread. Compared to having brewery beer delivered, it will pay for itself in 100 pints, so ten brews, which seems pretty good. Depending on how successful I am, might get a co-pibter to keep a regular supply through the summer.
Stout and IPA to start with.
I saw that they are soon to increase the kits to 1 litre so that they can offer higher ABV brews, which sounds good, though I'm a weak beer merchant nowadays anyway.2 -
Putting a bar in the garden when I move in the next few months, great thread fir advice.
Anyone got any tips on building a tiki bar?0 -
