Likely would yes It's kinda how I handled it last night with my initial cooling period being expedited by the somewhere messy IC. Thinking about cubes bc it opens up the potential for me to do brews after work and still have time to clean Considering I was set up properly and on time when I...

Ahh my apologies, was thinking from POV of after transfer to FV to pitching temp.

This was very useful and informative. Thank you very much! Think I'm gonna go ahead with the no chill method and this just reinforces it for me.

Definite take over an hour lol I was deflated with tiredness last night and put my wort into my FZ at 40°C at about 11pm Placed the FZ into my temp chamber fridge with my controller set at 22°C so that the cooling would be on all night. There is a small fan in it for circulation. Left the PRV...

I see what you mean but circumstantially it would work better for my setup. It is what it is, I'm not mad about getting to try something new, I'm just a bit miffed at the money that was spent on the cooling equipment effectively going to waste until such times as I can get a space for use with...

Pretty much exactly that lol, extractor fan on full, windows open, fan blowing the air out It wasn't until one of them walked in and a water droplet drip onto them from the condensation that was gathering on the ceiling and then pointed out how the wall near the kettle looked discoloured that I...

Unfortunately not, its a walk in shower in a shared house. First brewday with the new kettle nearly ruined the kitchen and have been banished to the backroom that I also use as a workspace. Planning it so that I can have my water heated for me arriving home from work. Get the brew done and then...

Hello, I've had a disaster of a first brew in my backroom with no running water. Steam condenser didn't work as well as I though it would with a large capacity pump which was inconvenient but manageable. The biggest sticking point was cooling. I tried using my immersion coil chiller and this...

Hello all, I work in calibration and my boss has allowed me to bring my equipment in to calibrate it. (traceable to a national standard) I've got my regulator pressure gauges, both of which were adjusted, these were both waaaaaay out. The low pressure gauge was replaced and even the new gauge...

Double Welp I found my issue. Bit of swarf from the manufacturing of the spray nozzle was blocking the outlet. Silly oversight on my part and only dawned on me when I properly disassembled the spray nozzle to see the 4 ports and realised that the water spraying out when it was fully assembled...

Welp I forget that higher flow rate doesn't necessarily mean more pressure... Anybody used a similar setup to what I'm going for able to suggest a workaround for this?😅

I bought a steam condenser because my house mates weren't too happy with my first brews boil off nearly wrecking the kitchen ceiling and walls and thus banished me and my brewing to a room at the top of the house. Problem I'm having is that in order to use it properly, I'm having to use a small...

My work colleague doesn't even know what they are but they are small pears that as he has described them: Are bitter with the tiniest bit of sweetness to them They are quite small too. I'll upload a photo of one here tomorrow when Ive got one on hand. The apples smell wonderful. These are...

Hello all Context: A work colleague has a pear tree out their back AND his wife has somebody where she works that has an apple tree. He came in with a bag of apples and pears for me and said to me that there will definitely be more coming. So a perry and an apple cider is on the cards. I have...

Just priced it. Nitrogen can be purchased and is £50 cheaper for 10L than argon. Nitrogen can only be got in 10L whereas the argon can be purchased in smaller tanks so it'll probably be better in the long run to go small argon tanks due to this just being an experiment. And sure if it goes...

I did mention this in a previous comment. although I see what you mean and I'm not really looking that deep into it but I had thought about this too when I was considering buying the dispense gun for my beer/cider making and came to the below conclusion before going ahead pulling the trigger on...

Oh now... 27 years of life on this earth and I have only just now learned that this is the correct way to use this phrase. Thank you very much! Had done a bit of digging into N2 and the lack of availability for it being supplied going through BOC in NI is probably the biggest factor. Once I...

I degassed my wine kit but didn't degas my mead. My wine kit was finished in around 6/7 weeks started at the beginning of July, consumed by end of August My mead was about 6 months. Started at the beginning of July last year, after racking into a secondary, it wasn't touched until Christmas Eve...

Just in case anybody is wondering about what I've been reading that has made me so curious about trying it... I've copied a few links below: https://winemakermag.com/technique/1308-inert-gases-techniques https://air-source.com/blog/the-use-of-argon-in-viticulture/...

DISCLAIMER: This is from my own googling and is my take on it. Don't take this as gospel. Please ensure to do your own research if reading this. I've done a lil bit of research on this and it's what made me think about going with the argon. It's heavier than air, and purging the bottle with Ar...
