Is it some type of secret supplier you can’t mention?

Where on earth have you magiced up Galaxy that cheap from?

Friday night so time for a big un 😀

Munich Helles made with CML Hell and Hallertauer Mittelfrueh

My first sour, a raspberry Berliner weisse using Philly Sour. Turned out nicely.

Nice, I just kicked off a starter of Brewlab Thames Valley 1 today for a British Golden Ale. I’m going to build it up to a 1 litre starter after this one.

Best bitter been in pressure barrel for 3 weeks and is now crystal clear and the flavour has improved to be a top pint. Hopefully there’s enough pressure in there to last the keg as I can’t add any. I’ve gone for the lid without the co2 capsule adaptor as that one leaked gas.

Triple IPA Verdant Putty. Think it’s 10%, at Siren beer festival, everything is a bit fuzzy now to be honest.

Sure it can’t hurt to add ascorbic acid. I didn’t use it and did a type of closed transfer with gravity using an SS brewtech Fv to purged keg and no issues at all with oxidation, so I’ll do that process again. Another neipa planned in a couple of brews time. The Greg Hughes recipe was very good.

My first bitter is ready, it’ll do! Fresh from the pressure barrel, as usual I have to open the tap about 1mm otherwise it’s just a glass of foam.

They were the best source for Braumeister spare parts that I know of, so it’s very disappointing they’re not trading. I lost the malt pipe wing nut before Xmas and it was easy to go on the website and get a new one for about £2.50. Vigo do a few things but not many.

The Trustpilot reviews reveals some shocking tales too. Quite a contrast to the good service from the likes of The Malt Miller, CML and Brewkegtap.

That is outrageous, I’m glad you got a refund but that must have been very unpleasant. If that’s how they treated some of their customers…

Yes that’s the one

That could work but the standard approach with a keezer is a collar. Its not hard to do and means you don’t need to damage/drill holes in the freezer. Fridges usually have the towers because the door is at the front so it’s not attached to the door.

Yes they’re doing 2 national BJCP competitions this year, not sure when it opens yet but I’ll let you know once I find out.

Good to know down south we get charged a 30% premium! Don’t think I’ve ever seen a Vienna lager for sale. Shelves of supermarket are crammed full of hazy pale ales, macro lager, and mass produced British bitters. No room for anything as exotic as a Vienna lager. Only one I know of is Negra...

You can get a 3rd keg in where the beer bottles are. I didn’t bother with adding a collar for taps, I just put flow control taps right on the kegs, I like it as it’s less cleaning of lines to do and I avoid DIY as much as possible.

I have that exact freezer and am using it as a keezer. I also have old style wider kegs, I have 2 in there right now but it does fit a third if required. I also have a co2 bottle on the ledge, think it’s a 6kg one that fits in.

Ah ok you should in theory be good with that. Might be a question of quantity, not sure.
