Really looking forward to this now!

Sorry, just saw you already told someone you can't review the thing! Couldn't find a way to delete the post :(

Angel Home Brew are saying they're in stock. Other than the melting problem, are you happy with the Fermzilla? The wife has ordered me one as a Valentines present, so looking forward to my first pressure ferment starting next week...

You can buy a replacement tank, so it's £40 down the pan. Not much consolation I know.

Thanks for all the posts guys. In the end I did get it to work, but only by starting with a small amount of liquid in the 3l flask, slowly adding extra wort.

Hi guys Was attempting my first ever yeast starter, bought 2 Intllab stir plates (both came with a 1 inch stir bar) a 2l conical flask and a 3l conical flask. Problem is that I can’t get a whirlpool going in the 3l flask? Does anyone know if a bigger stir bar would fix the problem?

I have a few dark beers kicking about at the moment, I’ll see which I think is the best and send it in. I’ll PM for your address Grizzly.

No such thing as too many APA's!

How many entries we up to now Ghillie? Really looking forward to helping you judge this month, thanks for letting me!

Interesting, do you think it improved your standard Pilsner?

I'm leaning towards your suggestion matt76. I wanted to compare Weyermann premium pilsner malt with their Barke pilsner malt so made 2 identical 23L batches. Now I'm left with a full keg, and an almost full keg of pilsner. Thinking 50g Citra, 50g Amarillo and 50g Summit.

Welcome to the forum Clyne. Good to have more Scottish brewers on board. I'm in Moray, how far north are you?

Thanks for the advice, definitely worth considering just bottling it.

The beer is already properly lagered and carbonated, my plan was to throw in a hop sock with 100g of citrusy hops, weighed down. I'd just be leaving it in there whilst I drink the keg so don't have to worry about how to remove the hops.

Bittered with Magnum, also has a 5 min addition of Hallertauer Mittlefrueh.

All paid up, and my Baltic Porter was fermented with S-189 lager yeast.

Anyone have any success in dry hopping a Pilsner in the keg? I have way more Pilsner than I want to drink, and was hoping I could turn it into more of an APA tasting beer. I was thinking about maybe adding Citra or Amarillo but worried I’d just be ruining a perfectly good lager and wasting...

23L batch, 5.5EBC, 26 IBU, 4% ABV 4kg Weyermann Pilsner malt 21g Magnum (90min) 20g Hallertauer Mittlefrueh (5mins) 2 packs Saflager S-189 Fermented 14 days at 12C, 7 days at 20C, Lagered at 1C for 6 weeks then carbed to 2.7 volumes. Really simple recipe. Not had any informed feedback on...

Just signed up for the last 2 available entries. Putting in a German Pils and a Baltic Porter.
