I have a 5kg bottle of NO2 in the shed, been there for years.

Fermentasaurus Snub Nose Starter Kit I've only ever pressure fermented and had lot of problems with the fermzilla. I feel this is down to lack of testing and production quality. Would love a Fermentasaurus Snub Nose to compare and review.

I would personally first rule out the spunding value connection itself. Remove spunding valve, charge again to 13psi, leave for another 8 hours and check the pressure. Keep in mind CO2 absorption. If it has dropped dramatically again, then: Charge to a much higher pressure which will better...

Welcome to the forum!!!!!

Just to double check, but you will require a spunding value, which is sold separately to the pressure kit.

I keg most of my beer, but need to bottle for sharing with friends and taking to home brew club. After research, I decided that it was plastic bottles was for me. I own a pressure fermenter (fermizlla), and use a carbonation cap to fill the bottles, effectively like each one is a mini keg...

Yeah I've watched most / all of his videos, very good information. He is also a member of this forum to. 🙂

Just an observation; I condition my Ale in the fridge and is works a treat. In fact a recent batch i was going to pour down the drain, after a week at 4c it was drinkable, after another week it was great. Maybe the temperature you condition at effect the duration of the conditioning time.

Looks like i'm not doing to much wrong on the cleaning side then, just got to up my drying and airing out. Cheers all. Panic over. Not ready for kettle sours yet.

Oh yeah, I have a spare baking cooling rack, I could totally leave it upside down on that. 100% my go to storage from now on!!! VWP, what temps to people normally clean with this stuff?

Think I created a nice damp environment. With not drying enough and leaving the lid on. I'll make sure all the equipment is cleaned again before the next brew. Some extra boiling water is great for killing weeds. 😄

Morning all, So my brew kettle (Brewzilla) has been in the garage (very dry garage) for a couple of weeks, since I last brewed. I noticed the other day that some mould had started to develop. :-( After my last brew I cleaned with VWP, but i'm wondering if I've not done a good enough job...

If you wanted to upgrade, then you could always go the pressure fermentation vessel route. That way you could keep the FV in the same place and do a closed loop transfer. You would also get the added benefits of a pressure system too; less oxygen, pressure ferment and a lighter wallet.

Mine is in the freezer still unused. I tired to dehydrate a second crop, but failed massively. Next time I harvest from the collection jar, I need to let it de-carbonate. It just made a massive foam puddle on the backing paper.

I've also suffered from stuck mash / sparge and blocked pump in the past. Last brew I followed Foxy "Full volume" or "No Sparge" method and I must say, my brew day was much more enjoyable. It is only my 4th AG brew and found that it took a lot of the stress out of the day. I have also ditched...

Oh and careful on the first clean, around the feet on the malt pipe was some very sharp metal swarf. Could have just been mine, but hurts when your cleaning and you catch some.

I got the brewZilla 3.1.1 and for the money it is great. I've done 4 AG brews with it and have a couple of tips. 1. The instruction manual is not updated at the time i placed my order. If you want to boil you need to select the temperature HH. 2. The fine mesh screen increases the chance of a...

Yes please.

Since you can brew great beer, means turning your hobby into a business will be: the natural next step / easy / a good idea.

If you buy one of the "Stainless Steel Float and Silicon dip tubes", then you could take the beer from the top of the keg, whilst still maintaining a closed loop transfer.
