I know this post is well old, but how do you personally prevent oxygen ingress in an fv chilled and creating negative pressure?

Thanks everyone. I'll try the flomasta first as there's a Screwfix around the corner from me but definitely look into the others.

I have a wort chiller coil (immersion type) with the following brass parts that relate to garden hoses which I can use for chilling... However since none of them screw onto the ends of my tube (9mm OD) I'm obviously missing some parts... but what? I don't want to get a whole conversion kit if I...

Ok so after this, I realised the cost would more or less be the same as just getting something new, so I have just purchased the MM 25l electric mash and boil kettle with a BIAB! I couldn't get a large ss pot at a low enough price to compete that wasn't a complete compromise on quality...

Great! Unfortunately I don't have the space for a separate stove but I do have a gas oven so that might be an option, I just find electric more predictable, especially if I can plug it into my inkbird (which I didn't mention I had so you wouldn't have known).

Thanks! That's exactly what I'm looking for!

So to save costs I'm going for a DIY mash and boil kettle so I can have something to brew with now rather than wait who knows to save up. My question is, if I'm filling a 10L pressure barrel, and using a 15L FV to brew in and fill from, would a 19L ss pot suffice to turn into an electric kettle...

For a short while due to being on meters, I think gas was more expensive. What I'm planning on getting is a mash and boil kettle. I previously owned the 35L Brewzilla with it's 1400kW total power use so we can handle it.

The one I have in mind is in fact a Malt Miller one, I have it in my basket along with a new bag and ingredients! I pretty much buy everything from you guys if I can haha, but I am looking at the 25L one rather than 35L due to my budget, and it will do what I need.

Should I get electric or gas mash kettle and boiler? I can see electric being easier to control, but gas is currently a third of the price of electricity, however this might change. Kinda stuck on what to do. I want a mash and boil kettle with a tap, thermometer and false bottom for BIAB but...

I'm trying to get down to 1.005 or thereabouts, and only an abv of just above 4% (4.2% to be precise but I know in reality it's difficult to control for such specific levels). I'm concerned that using sugar to get to such an FG but also keeping a low abv could result in me using largely sugar...

Whilst technically viable, it's high risk on the basis that there is no way of knowing how any two yeasts will interact unless someone has already done exactly the same brew, malts hops and all.

In what way am I "thinking in boxes"? I'm trying to find certain character, which is hardly unreasonable.

I might trial the Lallemand farmhouse and see if it's as tropical as they say. If not, i will go with that. I am basing this on an assignment recipe for my course and there's not a lot of point sticking to the recipe if I have to use convoluted methods which would ultimately result in a very...

I did actually consider WLP023 but as it lacks the saison character and high attenuation, I would need to blend which is not something I'm looking to experiment with here, as I have no idea what might dominate and it could be expensive for someone just above minimum wage as an apprentice...

SCRAP THAT. He just emailed me again saying he forgot to mention it was indeed diastatic!

.

Further to the comment above (I can't add your quote for some reason) he also described it as soft fruit and citrus, so not really the flavour profile I'm looking for. Basically, I'm trying to find a non-diastatic Belle Saison!

I got an email back pretty fast, he didn't say it was diastatic so I would assume not.

I'll have a look and email cml thank you.
