None at all - the trick to reduce foaming is to include 50cm or more of thin (3/16") tubing between the keg and the tap. That results in a gradual reduction in pressure from keg (circa 15PSI) to tap (0 PSI) at a low flow rate. The thing that causes foaming is when the beer experiences a sudden...

I could hear the Witbier calling to me from the FV so I had a sneaky half glass. Nom nom nom - that’s going to be one tasty, refreshing beer for the Summer: just love the grainy taste and soft texture combined with subtle spicing. WHY have I not brewed this before! +1 to @YeastFace @MickDundee...

Result!

Yep: 250g coriander seeds (lightly crushed) and 250g bitter orange peel (chopped, dried); both at 10m

Heh heh! Actually the plan calls for a Gose next once a keg becomes available, but I might slip a quick stout into the schedule and stick it in bottle :-)

SG on the Belgian Wit has dropped like a stone and looks to be pretty much 'done'. Not much point waiting for this one to clear down... 🤣 I thought it tasted a bit unusual then I remembered the late additions of bitter orange peel and coriander; and I think it's the bitter orange 'pith' I'm...

I’ve always just carbonated in the keg using a CO2 cylinder I’m afraid!

That’s the one I’ve used

FWIW @Buffers brewery @Caramel Ox, I've had mixed results using just gelatine. It seems to work with some beers but not others; and I suspect it depends on the charge on the particles you're trying to remove. I've had much better success with 2-part finings, and also with kieselsol (silica...

Example of the amount of crud that dropped out of an already "clear" beer in the settling bucket overnight, with two-part finings. You can see the clear beer on the side next to the tap, and the "bow wave" of fine crud coming in from the left

I always transfer from the FV into a clean bucket, then add finings and wait 24h before racking off to keg athumb.. It's surprising how much drops out of it in the intermediate bucket and I don't really want that in my keg... EDIT: I should add that sometimes if the beer is proving extremely...

Mine went off this morning - caught the postie just as he was emptying the postbox :)

I will say that since I’ve cut down my trousers have stopped shrinking ;-)

Quick check on the London Bitter. Looks surprisingly clear after 8 days in the FV… tastes pretty malty but it’s probably got another couple of points to come down. Also, as intended, a slightly more assertive hop character than last time. The unintended twenty minute protein rest doesn’t seem...

Which book 2S?

Fridge. Beer will keep longer and be more accurately carbonated. I mounted a two-tap tower on top of mine (see TETB kegerator build) and also used the Nukataps. Don't bother with the flow control ones, just use a length of 3/16 tubing to balance the flow. Do get the return springs though. I...

Can't be too careful athumb..

Hello :-) welcome to the forum

Tends to leak along the threads... perhaps if you put epoxy on the thread for the inner nut?
