Just took a gravity reading - made it down to 1.088 so it is moving in the right direction. Still appears to be plenty of yeast in...

Natural carbonation is better than force carbonation, though. Get the foam and flavour benefits from the former, and the convenience and...

So… I made a stepped up starter from my remaining 2 packets of dry yeast. 2L @ 1.036 then 2L @1.050 and got a decent amount of yeast...

Bloody hell. There is 1kg sugar in it. There is also 1.5kg lactose in it. So was expecting to finish around 1.056. I have another 2...

My advice would be to resolve your batch 1 issues before you do anything on batch 2. How much yeast did you pitch? What temperature is...

I pitched 2 packs of WHC Bond (22g total). Started it off at 16C and no pressure, brought it up to 20C and fermented under about 10psi...

Yes.

That's an idea too. I actually have a 10 pack of those little nitrogen canisters and the regulator for them, might give that a go.

I think this explains it. Thanks - I didn’t think of that. It was -1 in Glasgow when I collected it and the temperature had dropped to...

Mine are normally in the 6-700 psi range
