So you need to have the fermzilla higher than your corny keg. If you do that, connect the beer to beer and gas to gas lines. Then pull the pressure release on the keg to start the beer flowing, and once it is gravity will do the rest.

So i would suggest using the 3/8 for the beer transfer, and the 3/16 to connect the two gas posts (assuming you are doing that?). That way you'll equalise the pressure and not waste CO2. In terms of pressure, if you do it the above way, 10psi will be fine and then you will be at serving pressure...

23l mosaic pale ale Total = 1528

I'd say give it a bit more time, some yeasts take longer than others to get going. See how it is tomorrow

Hi all, I've just used a pack of BRY-97 in a pale ale, and was surprised how dark the yeast was when I hydrated it. Has anyone else experienced this or is there something wrong with the packet? Cheers

As Mick says, if everything is balanced you should be able to set and forget. My advice is start on the low side. It is easier to add carbonation, it is harder to remove it.

Coincidentally... 21l exmoor gold clone! Total 459.5l

Great thanks for the reply, I was trying to find a camlock with 8mm barb and couldn't, your solution is pretty obvious now I think about it!

Hi, I've recently bought a grainfather counterflow chiller for use with my brewzilla. However the connections aren't the same. I have bought a camlock fitting which has arrived but the barb is too big for the silicone tube. Has anyone done the conversion successfully and could let me know what...

Personally I would use the 70:30 to carbonate and serve. You will get some CO2 dissolving. I assume you don't want it very carbonated, that's why you are using 70:30? Start with 70:30 then test, if it is undercarbonated for your tastes you could hook it up to CO2 for a while. It's easier to put...

No worries. Keep me updated on the other one and let me know if and when you want to sell your newer one. Thanks

Ah OK thanks, can I reserve the other counterflow chiller then as a backup, assuming you want to sell it in the end athumb..

Hi, I'd like the older counterflow chiller, again if you can post it out. Many thanks.

Yes that's the one. They actually delivered it to a hardware store near Mansfield which is much closer to where I live. Great customer service.

£17.00 from my supplier in Chesterfield, same as it was a year ago.

I'm in a similar position to you. My lines are probably a bit longer than they need to be, so the pour is quite slow. I keep thinking about shortening them, but then don't and just live with having to wait a bit longer for a beer! And I guess a little more anticipation isn't a bad thing. If...

I'm not sure if you will. Like I said, I ended up with loads of foam trying it with carbonated beer. The stout spout has a restrictor plate in it, which needs higher pressure to force the beer through. This releases any CO2 in solution, which leads to the creamy head if done correctly, or just...

I have the nitro dispenser you are talking about. When I first tried it on a very low carbonated stout it worked great, then I carbonated it slightly more, and i got a lot of foam! I also found with a 19l corny I had to use a lot of the bulbs towards the end of the keg so I gave up. With you...

How long are you keeping the beer in the new keg? Are you drinking it over a few days? If so do you have to worry too much about the O2?

Hi, I am interested in this. I will pm if OK?
