Hi I've just barrelled my lager an i like it ice cold but my barrel won't fit in the fridge I've bought. Does anyone know of any cooling jackets etc?? Cheers.

I barrelled my cider 2 wks ago an I'm waiting for it to clear now but i had a sneaky taste an it's very dry/harsh. Will it sweeten up any? On a plus note its stating to smell ok.
Hi I've got it in a plastic barrel it was flat when i barrelled it an it's been stored in the same place as it was fermented. Do i need to cool it now?
Hi all
This is my first batch of cider I've made.

Any ideas of...
Hi i used the yeast that came in the pack the cider is cloudy an the smell is kind of eggy not nice. There was froth on top but it's gone now. I didn't take a reading at the start. Cheers
