The reason I do it in the keg after chilling for 24hrs or so is to avoid the potential oxidation. The only time I have ever cold-crashed I had an oxidised brew because presumably oxygen came in through the airlock after the CO2 from fermentation dissolved in the beer.

I recently used it for the first time in a lager. I added it to the keg (are you kegging?) after transferring and chilling overnight. Ive never had such a clear beer. I used half a teaspoon in 200ml water if I recall correctly.

That'llbe absolutely fine. It won't reach desired carbonation until refrigerated but from what you've said, that shouldn't be a problem.

Oh yes, we do have an actual fridge freezer for food. I always forget about that one.

Sure is. I am on 4 currently and trying to figure out where to hide the 5th. 1 x keezer 1 x kegerator 1 x fermentation fridge 1 x hop freezer As I wrote that, I realised where I have gone wrong. I should didtch the hop chest freezer and find a fridge-freezer so hops can go in the freezer and...

I got an HM for my American Light Lager. Pretty pleased with that!

I'm interested to compare score and feedback to that of the National, and from my local club. The scores from both were bang on.

All the best to those entering and to those running it/volunteering today.

Thanks, that's reassuring to know. I'll stop worrying

I just bottled a quad (came out a little low at 9.8%). Just cleaned up and it occured to me, should I have used yeast for bottling too as it's a strong beer? I guess I'll find out in a year or so, but anyone think it'll be ok? I'm worried it won't carb.

Similarly, having used both types, I would go with the NukaTap option.

Which do you currently have? What makes you think they're past their best? Have you checked the o-rings on the post to see if they are the cause of any issues you may have found? I don't have any metal ones myself. I have had a grey/red KegLand one leak at high (40psi) pressure.

I came here to post that first video - as said, works a treat.

Thanks. Blackberry sour sounds nice too!

Did you try this? Interested to know how it turned out if so.

You can use regular sugar for priming too. No need to use dextrose.

Personally, I leave gas connected having checked for leaks with a spray bottle. It's not difficult to detect or resolve leaks if found. That way you.can hook it up to gas and forget about it.
