applied pressure throughout at what I thought was 10psi, however, as posted in a separate thread, I have discovered the regulator attached to the gas cylinder is inaccurate to between 3-5 psi. I know this as when I attached 3 separate spunding valves to the keg. All three showed 3-5 psi higher...

thanks Foxbat

Hi and thanks for all your responses. 1. Trub is still in corny. I bent the dip tube somewhat to get it away from the bottom of the keg. I dont have a 2nd keg although I could rack to a bottling vessel and transfer back to the original keg once cleaned but I want to avoid exposure to o2. I was...

just to clarify (and its only Tuesday), I may have confused all in the above post - when the regulator gauge reads 10psi, the spunding valve gauge actually reads 5 psi higher. Therefore when putting what I think is 10psi of co2 in the corny, I am actually putting in 15psi.

thanks very much for the feedback. The regulator and gauge is all fairly new, would 3psi inaccuracy justify getting a replacement from the supplier (if they agree)?

Apologies if this has already been covered off in other threads but having fermented under pressure in a corny keg, the Co2 produced has not created enough fizz in the brew. Can I simply attach the Co2 cylinder and add an additional 10psi and leave it until it is ready? Excuse what is probably...

It seems my regulator gauge connected to my corny keg measuring pressure in the keg is reading circa 3 psi above the actual pressure. I have checked this against 3 spunding valves and every time I connect the spunding valve the reading on the gauge is circa 3 psi lower than what the regulator...

Update - to be fair the order arrived today after ordering it on 15th June so all good, I just wish there was some communication from the supplier. Despite emails and messages left, nothing.

thanks for the heads up alas it seems too late. I hope they are seeing these posts. Its unforgivable in this day and age. We all understand the challenges with the current situation but this is something else.

email received soon after ordering saying its on its way but when I click on the order in the email it then says we're getting it ready! There is no tracking option, no texts received or further emails on shipping and I am getting irritated.

Apologies for this post as I have just seen a number of others relating to same. I ordered something from KK last Monday and received an email confirming the order, then soon after, another email to say it's on it's way. I have since called and emailed without response so I have no idea where...

yes please

kitchen foil

I also tasted it earlier and it is very alcoholic. Not much I can do about that now!

Hi ChilledGecko, I am interested to understand how you pressure ferment using a corny. What are the advantages/disadvantages, how to keep temperature controlled and how would you bottle from the corny and understand the correct priming calculation? If you simply leave it in the corny and serve...

I also noticed phenomenal fermentation after 6 hours when the krausen pushed up through the airlock. I have never seen activity like it.

Hi, be interested to see how it turns out. Mine so far feels quite full bodied almost like a weisse beer but I believe this is the character of the M20 yeast that came with the kit as attached. But a definite banana taste. I wouldn't say it is that dry yet but plan to give it another week before...

Added 1.2kg MJ pure malt enhancer, brewed to 23l. hydrometer reading before pitching rehydrated yeast at 23c read 1.063. Brewed for 2 weeks at constant 20c. Took another reading which was 1.010. Added dry hops at 2 weeks and plan to leave for another week before bottling this weekend. The main...

Hi All, Has anyone brewed this kit? The yeast instructions suggest brewing between 18-30c, so I have kept it constant at 24c. Tasting it 2 weeks later it has a strong taste of bananas. According to the MJ website this is typical of this yeast strain but its quite overpowering but not unpleasant...

Hi All, I brewed this 2 weeks ago and when I took the OG reading it came out an almighty 1.063 versus previous attempts which read 1.047! admittedly I rinsed out every last bit of wort and enhancer from the packs and added 2x 10g packets M44 US West Coast MJ yeast (they recommend any og...
