Assuming you have the pressure kit, then bottling should be just as simple. Attach a bottling wand to the end of a length of beer line and connect that to the beer out post and apply a small supply of CO2 That’s what I do when I need to bottle some. As for gravity samples I do similar thing...

Has anybody got any first hand experience in using that new product from Get Er Brewed, the Ferminator?

That’s why I ordered 3 make the delivery more cost effective too.

hope you can read it, the original image was clear.

Good to know, will try 5 min first

I can do that later this evening, in work at the moment

Yeah, that’s the one I got the Mosaic too, along with an Amarillo and Citra kit. Keep me busy for a few weekends

Just received a few single hop kits from GetErbrewed. A quick read of the instructions it gives all times for hop additions, but also at the 15min it says to add the Irish moss. Would that be the small brown tablet that’s included in the bags?

Thanks Crowcrow, once in the fridge it’ll be down in hours. Tests have shown it’ll be chilled to the required temp in less than a day 😁

Should have checked before asking, just got the cylinder in an upright it doesn’t protrude above the top of the kegerator, so I’ve slid it into the corner and hidden it behind a pot plant she had there. Can hardly be seen now 😀

Playing it safe and gonna keep it upright

The midlands is a hell of a trek for me just for gas supplies, and if they did deliver it probably wouldn’t be cost effective. A 6kg refill is only £18 local to me Some creative decorations to hide it will have to do or a more drastic approach is to get rid of the other half 🤣

Thanks guys, just needed confirmation, will have to disguise it somehow, unless I can get small 2kg cylinder? that can sit in the holder on the rear of the unit

The only reason I ask was when I was collecting it, another chap also had a few and ask if they could be laid down. The guy serving him said it was fine. Probably only when valve is closed and being transported though.

Does the cylinder have to be upright whilst serving or can it be laid horizontally. I have a 6.3kg cylinder and upright it protrudes over the sofa, so thinking of laying it flat behind the sofa as well as securing it in place.

On the weekend I plan to make up the Coopers European Lager Kit. The instructions tell you to do all the usual mixing stirring boiling water and topping up the FV to 23Litres and aim for a temp of 21C - 24C to pitch the yeast. However the fermentation temp is advised at 13C - 15C. So for the...

It’s currently sitting in my Series X, thought I’d need more cooling rather than heating. Next brew, I’ll consider using my Inkbird and a heat belt/pad. Just need to get the power cable through the outlet,so just need to unwire/rewire the plug of the pad. Yes it is an expensive fermentation...

What variation in fermentation temp is acceptable? My first AG recipe recommended 20c but I’ve managed to get it fluctuating between 19.4 and 21.0 Most of the kits I’ve done previously have a 7c range about 18c - 25c

Basically I’m trying to streamline my bottling day. Working odd hours can be a bit of a challenge. So if I can get the bottles/kegs clean and sanitised before hand that would be great. Isn’t cling film a bit of a faff, having to cut and seal each bottle? Not that I’ve tried it and I don’t own a...

How do all you guys sanitise your kegs and bottles. Time is a precious commodity these days, so can bottles and kegs be cleaned and then stored with a little sanitiser inside, so on the day of packaging it’s just a case of a quick swish around and drain the keg/bottles ?
