I'd like to try making British style "real ale" at home. That would require having some kind of cask for the final stages of fermentation. What do British homebrewers use? Can anyone recommend something from personal experience? I see some plastic "pressure barrels" on UK homebrew supply sites. Is that what one uses? The pressure barrels seem to be meant for use with CO2 cartridges, but real ale is generally served from a hand pump.
