Are you able to cold crash? That can help drop some out. Guessing it is bottled now, how's it taste?

The lager turned out amazing - my best yet. I had my fellow homebrewer friend over on Friday, and he couldn't believe that only had 5g of Simcoe at flame out (I do no chill so I waited for the wort drop to 80c and then threw the 5g of hops in for 10 mins. Gives it a lovely taste, with out being...

So the brew is on (early morning mashing) - I've spoken to a brewer friend and will drop the dry hops - and see how it tastes without them - this is also my first lager I've done at 62c mash - I normally do everything around 65-67c - interested to see how it turns out and if it is any different!

Did you have any luck getting it working again @LostShepherd ?

A bit late now as I'm all weighed out and brewing this tomorrow, but any thoughts on this hoppy lager recipe? 3.6kg pilsner 200g wheat Hallertau 15g 60m Tettnang 15g 20m Tettnang 15g 10m Tettnang 30g 0m Simcoe 65g dry hop Lager yeast - pressure fermentation! Yeast is kept going from some I...

On my Klarstein I get a good boil on 1500w - so I just leave at that now - but used to boil at 3000w - and I'd always get some burn stuff when I cleaned up. It comes off easily if you cover it with white vinegar and leave it for 24 hours. Can't say I noticed a taste from it though. I barely...

I hope they do, it will get me off it!

Certainly would be any option, but only got the brew on yesterday and I want to brew my lager on Saturday (pitching on Sunday) so not enough time to use the yeast cake, I let my beer ferment at least 10 days - if not more (unless pressure fermenting). I'll continue to let this settle in the...

Brilliant stuff! But I agreed a 4 litre would also be of use.

Long dead thread - but I'm doing exactly this currently - made a 1.6l starter 24 hours ago on the stir plate - I'll take off 500ml today and pitch the rest, then next weekend I'll get a lager brewing and build the 500ml up again on the stir plate. (I do no chill, and draw off a litre or so of...

You can buy 8 litre ones from kegland but the postage is crazy - hoping someone can do a big import to get the prices down.

When I was in Serbia years ago the local beer came in similar 3 and 4 litre bottles - never seen similar here sadly

So resurrecting a very old thread of mine! I still keep my gas outside the keezer and only connect to regas as and when I need it. This is a pain as I use John guest push fittings... Until I spotted this gas post on temu, and figured it would fit my manifold. Now hooking up the gas is...

And this is how I carb my beer - but most people use the traditional 'slow' method. After making fizzy water for the last 4 years I can guarantee there is no difference in flavour of the water if I slow carb it or burst carb it - so I always go burst.

Hi, for gas just search your postcode or area and 'cellar gas' or just co2 - should find somewhere less than and hour away unless you are unlucky. Getting a loan from a pub usually isn't worth it as they often just pay a monthly fee for the tank and regular refills. Prices vary wildly - I had...

There will be some was of extracting it, but likely the smugglers lost that part of the shipment. I've heard of coke being mixed into the plastic of garden furniture before - no idea how used get that out but I guess they can. Aus has good customs, plus it is a big island far away from a lot of...

How sad and needless. Poor chap and his poor family

Was a total bargain for sure. Still a little gutted I didn't get one, even though I've already got an all-in-one that I'm totally happy with!

Amazing - interested in the licencing - though if they sold from or in a moving vehicle they obviously wouldn't need a licence...
