Use smaller glass 😂

Just a question if I may, sorry I can’t answer yours. If you have a couple of pressure fermenters why not carbonate in the second fermenter and then bottle the carbonated beer using a counter pressure bottle filler?

I have a corny gas post mounted on the outside of my barrelator and a gas quick connect on the gas line from the cylinder regulator. Easy to disconnect the cylinder and reconnect.

Ok. Loose pellets :coat:

Pellets

When I clean my plastic (hdpe) fermenter I don a marigold rubber glove, wet the fermenter with clean water and gently rub (like an eraser) the stains. They eventually disappear without scratching. Obs, the glove is on the hand that’s doing the cleaning inside the fermenter. I know what you lot...

I used to use stainless steel balls but wished I had used spoons (after reading about using them on this forum aheadbutt). Spoons will be much easier to retrieve than balls. I switched to pellets and don’t use bags at all now.

You could try a beta-glucan rest, 30 minutes at 40C, before the mash. I do a b-c rest whenever I use oats in a recipe as it tends to stick. Might work with flaked rice :confused.:

Any idea of the thread size? Edit: @Larse seems to have got there before me 😂

Care to share the details? I've not seen one without it's own stat :?:

As @Caramel Ox says, make sure the tubes inbuilt thermostat is turned to maximum. (I removed the thermostat altogether in mine. Works fine.)

Campden tablet :confused.:

You'll get used to @peebee @kitobi 😂

Welcome @kitobi from another "old guy". Look forward to reading about your exploits acheers.

Yes, 304 stainless steel. Also known as A2.

Yes! But ...did they pay or you? 😂 I remember my oldest son "taking me to the pub" for the first time. I paid 😂

Welcome! Sounds like you had a great brew day 👍🏻

I'm jealous! My oldest grandchild is eight! Ten years before they can take me to the pub for lunch! Will I last that long? 😂
