If you're wanting to use spunding to achieve a specific level of carbonation in the finished beer, accuracy is important. Or at least knowing the discrepancy in the gauge.

I use the kegland Blow tie, I've got both analog and digital versions plus the version without a gauge. I've never had any problems with them and you can also attach a blow off tube, that's something you can't do with the other two types. Another advantage with the Kegland Blow tie, if you use a...

I have some traffic film remover but I only use it on my car 🤔

My £15 500 ml bottle of chemsan makes up 250 litres

Chemsan and Stellarsan are perfectly good alternatives.

How much does a braumeister cost ?? And is it absolutely necessary 🤔😂😂

Yes it's extremely cheap and nothing to fear. A little phosphoric acid wouldn't harm fermentation. A lot of us use phosphoric acid in water treatment.

At this stage I wouldn't be shaking. You haven't fermented under pressure so there won't be an excessive amount of gas dissolved. I would bite the bullet and purge the head space with CO2 from your cylinder, it won't take much and you don't want to risk oxidizing at this stage.

I was tempted to offer a compromise but I don't think it would work for Mashbag. To get to what he is aiming for. I would fill a clean keg and fill with a Starsan solution. 1st problem, I think Mashbag has a starsan phobia. Then once I've had vigorous fermentation for a good 12 hours I would...

How is day 6ish sooner than to 24hrs ?

😂 Of course, that's why the 65 litre 240 volt in the UK doesn't come with a 13 amp plug. 👍

I use the inkbird to control temperature with the probe on the outside of the fermenter and the rapt pill (not the controller) to monitor temperature and gravity. I ferment inside a converted freezer.

I used to put the probe in a thermowell inside the fermenter. But since I started using a Keglands Rapt Pill I found that I get a more stable temperature by taping the inkbird probe to the outside of the fermenter.

I don't believe you have a pressure fermenter. I've used fermentation gas during pressurized fermentation to purge kegs filled with sanitizer. Then do a closed transfer oxygen free. Pressure fermentation is another rabbit hole to go down. 😂

I wasn't referring to serving pressure. I was referring to the level of carbonation achieved when carbonating at 20 degrees c and 30 PSI. As an example.

That's what I do, and I never use priming sugars or force carbonate post fermentation. I always try use spunding to achieve full carbonation to my required level during the latter stages of fermentation.

I haven't got a formula but. 1.5 vol CO2 means that there would be 1.5 liters of dissolved CO2 in one liter of beer. I think you said you were going to split a batch so that you had 11.5 litres each in 2 corny kegs. Meaning you'd have about seven liters of headspace in each. The brewing apps...

Why would you over carbonate the beer if you've got a spunding valve?? Yes, over prime to compensate for the excessive head space but set the spunding to the correct pressure for the temperature and target vol of CO2. ie about 7 to 8psi at 20°c for about 1.2 vol, Ideal for an ordinary bitter.

You use the spunding valve to stop you over carbonating. Not to remove carbonation after overdoing it !

30 PSI at 20°c will carbonate to 2.65 vol (a gassy lager level).
