    Inline Filter - what to look at?

    I got too much trubs/yeast when I was transferring last time - I have Apollo Unitank and the ring on the floating filter broke and the filter sunk collecting yeast when I finished my brew. Now I replaced it with Fermzilla Hose Filter Mesh from Amazon, but not sure it will sot out my problems as...

    cleaning and storing PET bottles (soda pop bottles)

    I probably do incorrectly :tongue: Anyway, I wash the bottle, sanitise it using Chemsan (not always, but I do it if I received the bottle first time or if I did not sanitise it in the last 3-6 months, 6 months if it was mainly keeping water) and then pour water inside so that there is absolutely...

    Think twice if buying Apollo Unitank 30 Litres vs snub nose

    The difference between UNitank 30 litres and snub nose is that, theoretically, you can remove settled yeast from the bottom. In reality, there is no space and you end up affecting the plug and it leaks badly. And the plunger obstructs the wide opening so you have to carefully pour malt, I...

    Advice on upgrading fermentation method - pressurised? Temperature controlled? Both? Neither?

    Advice on upgrading fermentation method - pressurised? Temperature controlled? Both? Neither?

    Would be very interesting to see how you made it, is there a YouTube video how to make something like yours? I want to get rid of some fridges, but want to have something with a good temperature control. Thank you

    Advice on upgrading fermentation method - pressurised? Temperature controlled? Both? Neither?

    By the way, regarding the fridge - I got three for free from Freegle. I have to get rid of at least one because my 19 litre kegs cannot go inside two, but I can use one of them to store bottled beer and temperature control fermentation for wine. Pressure fermenting is not for any type of...

    How much concentrate in wine kits

    I made Beaverdale, Wineworks and some other kits, all kits were for 30 bottles though I got 29 at best case. The kits come with different volumes of concentrated juice - the first kit (I think it was cabernet savignon) came only with 1 litre, but mainly they are 5 litre (I usually buy Rioja)...

    Advice on upgrading fermentation method - pressurised? Temperature controlled? Both? Neither?

    I bought Apollo Unitank 30 L from The Malt Miller a couple of months ago - they strongly recommended me to buy Apollo first and, only if I like the idea of pressure fermentation, then go with Brewtools because Brewtools might be tricky (they did not explain why). I like Apollo. It has advantage...

    How much beer do you leave in fermenter when you put into kegs?

    I didn’t know I had to cold crush. I can as now I have fridge and temperature control. However, the recipes don’t mention this part

    How much beer do you leave in fermenter when you put into kegs?

    My last batch of IPA was quite bitter. I guess because I collected everything I could into kegs from Apollo 30 L Unitank Pressure fermenter. How much do you leave in you fermenter so that your brew is not that bitter? Mine is bitter when you start dispensing, but then it becomes fine, therefore...

    Beer gun - it is necessary? Other ways to fill the bottles

    It looks like my party tap meets all the requirements - it is longer than 2 metres and 3/16"

    Beer gun - it is necessary? Other ways to fill the bottles

    1. Yes, I fill from corny keg 2. Yes, currently I fill plastic PET bottles with screw tops, though I plan doing glass bottles in the future too Thank you for the video - I have exactly the same party tap and will start putting it into the fridge to reduce the foaming. I think I do exactly as...

    Electric cars.

    £5k/year insurance will definitely make EV uneconomical in my case https://www.theguardian.com/money/2023/sep/30/the-quotes-were-5000-or-more-electric-vehicle-owners-face-soaring-insurance-costs I like the idea of owning an electric car - when I ordered solar panels and Tesla PowerWall 2 last...

    Beer gun - it is necessary? Other ways to fill the bottles

    I give away most of the ales and beers I make, therefore, bottling became quite in demand. I currently use a normal dispensing tap on a hoze. However, some people mentioned that I lose a lot of gas, so I want to improve the quality of my drink Will beer gun make much difference? Thinking about...

    Water additions with RO water

    I want to store some water at home as well, just in case, probably about 80 litres. Thinking this water should be used for brewing to rotate. I guess I won't know if it is contaminated or not until I try it. And I guess I can disinfect jerry cans each time before I refill - not much effort, but...
