    Priming after cold crashing

    would that not be too much sugar in a 330ml. bottle?

    Priming after cold crashing

    thanks Clint, that's what I usually do but have the other one brewing another batch. Perhaps bad planning but bottom line is I have to do without a bottling bucket this time, hence my question, what other options are there?

    Priming after cold crashing

    I have 23 litres of IPA cold crashing at the moment which should be ready to bottle in a couple of days. The question is, how do I bulk prime from the same vessel as I do not have another vessel to transfer into to rack the beer on top of the boiled priming solution? I would prefer not to prime...

    2nd MJ Juicy session IPA

    2nd Mangrove Jack's juicy session ipa on and has been fermenting for 10 days now. Wanted to wait a little longer until I added the dry hops this time. The hydrometer is reading 1.012 although it's almost between that and 1.010. MJ suggest final gravity of 1.010 using additional lme. I guess it's...

    Corny keg dip tube

    Emptied the keg (worryingly rather quickly) and upon disassembling to clean, I noticed the metal ring on top of the dip tube comes off. Unlike the picture it is not flat (if that makes sense). 1st time I have used the keg and its brand new. Picture attached is of the in tube but used for...

    Bottling from keg

    Now that it seems I have almost perfected the pour from the picnic tap thanks to great advice, I would like to bottle without spending more on bottling guns and the like. I bottled a few last night using the picnic tap with a length of 3/8 tubing attached. As you can imagine too much froth in...

    Force carbonating corny keg

    I am over the moon as I am now sitting down with a perfectly poured pint thanks to you all. The new lines and reducers arrived today - wow, it is b..y brilliant, just in time for the weekend. You are probably right as 3m is a little too long, it takes sometime to pour but I can live with it for...

    When to use campden tablets

    I know there are many different posts on the above but I am still unclear when to add tablets to the water if brewing from a kit. Should they be added 24hrs. from when you start making up the kit, in which case, some of the water to which the tables have been added will be boiled before adding...

    Mangrove Jack's Juicy session IPA

    Yes this was the best kit so far and absolutely delicious. Really popular with friends. Unlike other beers, it was totally drinkable after a week in bottle- bonus! Will definitely be making it again.

    Force carbonating corny keg

    forgive me as this is all new to me but are a couple of these what you are referring to plus the beer line? https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/john-guest-38-to-316-beer-line-reducer/

    Force carbonating corny keg

    foxbat thanks again for your help. temporarily figured it out last night, just turned the pressure all the way down but as others have said, that's a pain and I can see my canister being empty in no time. If I continue in this way, can I just check proper procedure - do I disconnect the gas in...

    Force carbonating corny keg

    it's a nightmare and I'm clearly doing something wrong as the 1st 2 pints are all foam, when I pour another it's ok but everytime I go back to pour the next pint it's like vesuvius. pls point out the obvious, should I vent the keg everytime before I pour or what do I need to do to get...

    Force carbonating corny keg

    just the 1 pint. judging by you kegging on 7th march and just trying it last night, I am probably being impatient as I only kegged mine on Monday

    Force carbonating corny keg

    thanks very much all for the feedback, much appreciated. tried a sample from the keg and it came out a foamy mess. I realised this was down to the serving pressure being too high I guess as the 2nd sample was better after I reduced pressure. What is the minimum pressure used when serving? I was...
