The NEIPA I brewed in March is still going strong 👍🏻

Erhum! Mine don't!

In my experience (pretty limited when it comes to drilling holes in fridges, 3 fridges and 6 holes) there is always one pipe in the side of a fridge and it's the thermostat sensor usually with electrical cables close by for the fridge light. ALWAYS disconnect from the mains (UNPLUG) and go...

The push fit connector (elbow) is to vent the bucket headspace during fermentation. I've drilled a hole in the side of my brew fridge to pass a pipe through that’s connected to the bucket at one end and a bubbler or a balloon (to collect CO2) outside the fridge.

I ferment in a bucket with a lid that I “seal” with plastic tape after the yeast is pitched. I use my own design of dry hopper that I 3-D print….

Hi @MisterMike . I use a 3/4” BSP stainless steel nipple through the hole with a hex nut and washer on the inside and a 3/4” BSP round cap on the outside with the old tap washer to form a seal (on the outside). Note, the stainless steel cap is cast so the face needs to be filed smooth to get a...

I use PTFE coated neodymium magnets inside my fermenter as the uncoated ones can corrode ashock1

I could do both!? I could fine after fermentation during cold crash using the same method, and again after carbonation. Would that be overkill?

I use a standard plastic fermentation bucket with a lid. I tape around the lid to reduce any leakage and do closed transfer to a pressure barrel 'filled' with CO2 after priming with sugar solution for carbonation. Consequently I decided to add the gelatine finings after carbonation and before...

Update. The APA I brewed a month ago has finished carbonating so I decided to give 'closed circuit' fining a go. BUT. Before I do it for real I decided to do a rehearsal with water instead of Starsan and gelatin solution. Following your suggestions and advice, this is the kit I assembled for the...

Brewed this Bohemian Pilsner last year. This (last) bottle was in my brew fridge at 10C for over a year. Vast improvement on the beer a year ago. Head like Italian meringue and very well carbonated. Oh, and tasted better than the young beer as well!

😂😂😂 No. Your hand! In the picture! 😂😂😂. Is it Mrs H's hand? 😂😂😂

I'm guessing that's not your hand Mr H? 😂

I've had a bottle of Bohemian Pilsner in my brew fridge since when I brewed it this time last year! Thought it was about time to try it.. Head is very meringue like and the lager is much better than it was last year. Time has improved this beer significantly.

Probably shouldn’t say this as a pressure barrel user, but is it possible that the corny has a leak? ashock1
