Yeah that’s pretty much what I was going for, got extra pale MO and not bothering with honey malt

Hi, what big wave recipe have you gone for?I’m planning on brewing one this weekend

Never had a problem free brew day

I have managed to fit a fermzilla all rounder in an under counter fridge, details here; Brew fridge wanted

Well it didn’t quite go to plan, first of all the ‘half empty’ keg became empty much faster than expected, I’m blaming lockdown 😂 thought I would just fill one keg and put anything left in another but think I dropped the pressure too much while racking and the yeast cake started to break up and...

Pressure pils, pilsner malt, Tettnang, w34/70, 13 days since pitching and it’s 👌 fermented at ale temps under pressure

I got a very similar flavour to Hersbrucker using Voss Kveik to ferment a Pilsner. I used Mittelfruh and fermented at 21 deg. It was quite tart to begin with but mellowed out to give a nice lemon character.

Haha yeah I’ll give it a go and let you know! plan is to pressurise fermenter after cold crashing to match the keg pressure then use gravity for the transfer. Will vent the keg slightly to get the siphon going then link the gas ports to equalise the pressure.

It will be carbonated as I’m fermenting in a fermzilla under pressure, just slightly less carbonation than the keg. Do t see why a closed transfer wouldn’t work, guess that’s what I’m checking to see if anybody else has done it

Yeah I’m not too bothered about the taste being consistent, they should hopefully come out similar enough being same recipe / process etc.

Has anybody got experience of topping up a half empty keg with fresh beer? I can brew about 25l on my kit, I normally fill a keg and bottle the rest but I’ve brewed the same recipe twice and was thinking of just putting the extra in to the half empty keg with the same beer. I’m using a fermzilla...

I have managed to fit the 30 litre all rounder in a Lec under counter fridge, it’s sat on some 200mm spiral duct and I've had to cut the middle shelf off the door. You can't get a ball lock connector on the carbonation caps as is but I've got hold of the kegland T piece so can connect a blow tie...

Slightly embarrassingly it’s sat rock solid at 15 now so I guess I wound the dial out a bit too much when trying to set

yeah there would be a point where the valve chokes and back pressure increases but I can open it up and the pressure drops so don't think it's that. Maybe I backed it out a bit more than I thought when setting it, it seems to be sticking at 15 now so will see what happens when it stops...

It’s the first time I’ve used it so unlikely but will have a look once the fermentation has calmed down. Thanks for coming back anyway, at least I know that’s not normal. I’ve dropped the pressure back down to 15psi so will see if it stays there.

question for anybody using the Kegland Blowtie to pressure ferment. I've currently got my first pressurised fermentation underway, I pressurised the fermzilla initially and then set the blowtie to 15 psi. The pressure dropped a few psi before fermentation started but it is now underway and the...

I have a pump and recirculate during the mash, also have a PID controller for the element, keeps very consistent mash temp. I’ve rigged up a pulley system using these Rope Ratchet Hangers and a bike hook to strain the bag, it’s great because you just suspend the bag over the kettle while...

Looks great What sort of head retention do you get with these type of beers? I’ve brewed a couple of helles with same malt and yeast and seem to get poor head retention. Not sure if it’s down to the ingredients or something in the process.

remembered I did bump the temperature a bit higher on this one to around 23, was concerned it wasn't going to attenuate enough but it got there in the end. Not sure if the higher temperature helped, probably just needed leaving alone!

No I just chill it down, I do purge the keg but that’s about it. Haven’t noticed any oxidisation problems. Would definitely brew it again at some point although I’m going to try one of the liquid yeast strains next
