I think my concern is also around bottling into glass as it’s not something I’ve done before, I’ve always used PET. So, a combination of occasional poor results with sugar and the risk of over carbonation into glass is steering me towards keg then glass. I’ll have a think, thanks

Okey dokey. The counter pressure filler has a purge facility which should assist. I could also brew in my fermzilla rather than a conical and oxygen free transfer to keg. Wasn’t going to but makes sense tbh.

Hi all Over Christmas I plan to brew the MM St Bernardus clone and then leave it until next Christmas bottled. I plan to package to a keg to carbonate and then bottle into crown cap glass after a couple of weeks. (Counter bottle filler on the Xmas list ;) ) I’ll look up the psi for the...

Same. By the time I’ve emptied a 5 litre mini keg, the gas is pretty much done. I would think it translates as the volume (liquid) is the same and the headspace in the keg as it empties that needed filling would be the same.

Could you not pressurise your 5 ltr keg (empty) and use it as a small CO 2 tank?

Their selection is huge (I only live 15 mins away) but as mentioned above, can be pricey. It’s great for stuff you don’t see in supermarkets and special niche beers The tap room is great and more like a family restaurant that has a beer wall than a traditional tap room.

What I like is that they adapt the boxes, and then any old offcuts get slung in too! Their unit must be near a Chinese supermarket or supplier!

Hopefully the new buyer will understand why sales are down for the next few months. Everyone’s bought a stash and needs to use it up!

I collected my first EV yesterday, a Volvo EX30. It’s awesome. Obviously over the next few months there maybe struggles or issues but we will see As I assume most EV’s will, you can plan your route and the satnav will take you via empty working chargers as required. As I’m “maturing” the...

I just use the CML yeast nutrient. I’ve never not used it so can’t really advise if it’s required or not. It’s always started fermenting within 3-4 hours at 35 degrees with nutrient and is done in 3 days easily. I brewed Friday, dry hopped Sunday and am now cold crashing (Tuesday) I really...

Fantastic company and great selection. I ordered a load of the hops over the weekend and replied to the follow up with “just got to work out what to make with them now”. I then received a further reply with suggestions! Been brewing with their KVIEK lately , both the Voss and the Hornidal...

1. Don’t know 2. Don’t know 3. Have a 12 year old Volvo diesel, looking to change. Hadn’t really thought about EV. 4. Took said volvo in for MOT. Got a EV as a courtesy car. Ordered one when I picked my car up. 2-4 weeks delivery. Complete mind shift once I had actually driven one. Quiet...

That’s my thoughts so, at some point that would stop as beer would be at the same psi as the gas being pumped in? So, should I assume that my beer is either not at 10 psi or, that there is a leak somewhere

I think this is what worries me. However, I don’t visit the fridge through the week and when I do at the weekend and turn the gas on, you can hear it flowing. To me, this suggests either the beer isn’t carbonated to the same level as what’s flowing in or the keg isn’t. I don’t think the kegs...

Evening all I started kegging a couple of months ago and have an adapted fridge for storage and dispensing. the question is, do you all leave your CO2 turned on all the time when connected to full kegs? I have been carbonating the beer (usually under pressure in the Fermentor) keg it and...

I used 5/16’s throughout my kegerator build for everything and then these flow control disconnects on the beer lines. Works well

Sorry, re read the post and saw you literally mentioned this video :) But 2 weeks flash to bang, it’s got to be worth a go, even it you just do 10 litres.

The malt miller have a video where they pressure ferment and do half the batch with a lager yeast and half with a budvar. Fill the Fermentors leave for 2 weeks no temperature control at all and they are really happy with them serve straight from the Fermentor. It’s on my list for the...

Thanks for the tips All went pretty well. The beer is very drinkable now. I have left it connected to the gas to finish carbonation but am pretty pleased with it now.

Right oh, I’ll have a go.
