If I put 1 - 2 PSI of CO2 in my corny keg, then connect the tap on my plastic FV to the beer in via a disconnect, then connect the gas post to my FV blow off pipe, so the CO2 flows into the fermenter and then I open the beer tap to allow beer to flow into the corny keg, because of the CO2...

I know this is a silly question but how do I know when it's finished ?

Hi, I intend to brew tomorrow, and yesterday I made a 2 litre liquid yeast starter that is still on the stir plate and looking active (foam has appeared on the surface), by pitching time tomorrow it will have been on the stir plate around 48 hours. So do I keep this on the stir plate until...

Hope I'm not butting in here, This rolling the keg around to get it to carb quickly is fine, but what about time to clear the beer ?

Thank you, yes my beer line is Valpar

I've just thought of this, do you leave your beer line connected to the keg all the time ? or do you disconnect in between sessions ? I think I might be over thinking this lol !!

Thanks guys, I was hoping it was going to be ok, but wasn't sure as it's new to me

Thanks Wilfy, I wasn't really thinking of it making the keg contents go off, but more of any nasties that may develop in the beer line and be transferred to the glass on my next session

New corny keg user here, as I don't drink the full contents of my keg in one go, and it may be another week before I have some more, is it ok to leave the beer in the line? I would obviously on my next session, drain say a quarter of a pint to clear the 'old' beer out of the beer line. Is that...

Hi, I have been playing with the brewers friend desktop version, what is the boil size calculation for ?

I've been all grain brewing for a few years now, and slowly I am getting my head around it and brewing some decent beer - however I am struggling to understand how water volumes are calculated and pretty much all my brew days at the moment are keeping my fingers crossed that I hit my target...

I can definitely recommend the Brown Porter, I do it all the time and it always turns out excellent

My best guess is Bonlander Munich malt I believe that Weyerman Munich l is similar, and I take the C20 to be crystal 20

Hi all, I've just got my first bottle of CO2 and now i need a regulator, anybody got any suggestions where I get one ? Thanks all

What is the advised method of increasing ABV of a kit such as woodfordes wherry, I prefer beers of about 5 - 5.5% ABV Would I brew short ? Or would more sugar/yeast/other addition, increase ABV Many thanks for any suggestions

I added 40 grams of Kent goldings hops straight into the fermenter, no bag or strainer, at about halfway through the fermenting process. I used a wilko golden ale 2 can kit. After fermentation I barrelled and primed with sugar. Have I made a mistake in not straining out the added...
