My first cold crash, when I was able to do it, just made the brew clear quicker even before packaging. It was a Mangrove Jacks cider, which I’ve done several times before, and cold crashing made my bottle condition part of the brew clear within 7 days, the remainder is in a corny keg ready for...

If the add back flavour is non fermentable, why not add it at the same time as the sweetener? Opinions??

My daughters love this one, so have another pouch waiting in the wings. Will definitely add before it’s finished next time.

Done this kit several times, and as you say is very drinkable. You said you added the flavouring whilst it was still fermenting, even though they suggest adding it in after fermentation has finished. This didn’t affect it in any way then? Makes more sense, since you need to gently stir to mix...

Similar experience on my latest brew. Started at 1.044 and cooled down to 14c as it’s a lager, a week on and it has passed 1.000 and still dropping. It’s in a 30L All Rounder with about 2psi on it. Not pressure fermenting, I just like the convenience of the closed transfer. Now the crazy thing...

Since I saw YouTube video where they suggested using some gas, I’ve done it every time since. Just make sure the collar has enough thread engaged so as not to send it flying into your ceiling

I’m up for some of that I’m in

Most of the tube heaters I’ve looked at don’t have the option for no thermostat.

If you are unable to source one without a thermostat, then I’m assuming you would just turn it up to maximum and let the inkbird control it. What sort of temp is achievable with a 60w tube in the enclosed space of an undercounter fridge?

Ditto, been looking for ages but sold out everywhere and don’t seem to be restocking at the moment. Look forward to seeing pics of your DIY method, maybe that’s the way to go, and cheaper 👍

Thanks for the information, will try it on the weekend

Ok, so the old hydrometers are still required for after fermentation SG’s

i have two hydrometers and just recently bought a refractometer I have 20L of beer that has been in the FV for 13 days and due for packaging SG readings are at 1.010 & 1.011 on my hydrometers but the refractometer is displaying a reading of about 1.026 I believe I have correctly calibrated...

Just finished my second all grain, a geterbrewed single mosaic hop recipe, sitting in the FV trying to warm it up 😕😕

Great, no hard and fast rule Down to personal taste then, cheers

Finally got around to doing the Mosaic Do you leave the bags in after flame out or remove them before chilling?

What I’d really like, I can’t find. It’s like rocking horse ****, is that bucket blaster system

Forget about Christmas, I get what I want , when I want 🤣🤣 if I asked the wife and kids they’d shout “How much ?!!”

It’s A Wonderful Life

I guess every body has different expectations. It works for me as I hated bottling using a syphon, as none of my buckets have a bottom tap. Started with a Fermzilla 27L but the faff to clean the valve and associated bits was a right pain. Saw the All Rounder and ended up buying two. Really...
