    What did you brew today?

    first use of the brewzilla Gen 4 to do a tropical stout. Turned into the brew day from hell. The pump blocked and had forgot to bypass the tap before I started so couldn't use it to get wort into fernenter. Didn't have a Syphon, so a quick clean of a bit of gas line and a mouthful of hop debris...

    Closed transfer

    Not sure. I tightened them but didn't overtighten as suggested in the instructions (whatever that means) and it appears to hold good pressure. Sorry can't provide any hints it tips and must have just been lucky ? I had pressure tested with a bicycle pump over the course of a few nights to...

    Yeah it wasn't quick but I didn't mind as I went off and done other things like prepping the next transfer to keg. If I was to put a number on it at 2psi in fermzilla and 1 psi in keg I would go for 20 minutes approx.

    What are you drinking tonight 2022?

    My least favourite to be honest. No sure if it lost something by the time I got to it. The sour was also hard work but the others were really good.

    I used my fermzilla all rounder for first time on my last brew. I pressure fermented at 2psi in the fermzilla. I then purged my keg and put 1psi in keg. I connected gas to gas in keg and fermzilla and liquid to liquid and it all transferred well for me.

    Fermzilla All rounder Dip tubr

    Both of my IPA's were 23 litres in the fermenter as I hadn't calculated the pre boil volume correctly. I then only put 17.5 litres into each keg as I am keg hopping in a ss tube, so had quite a bit left over to bottle. I did tilt it to get another 1 litre into 2 bottles or so but then the tube...

    Fermzilla All rounder Dip tubr

    Thanks guys, confirmed my thoughts. I did tilt at the end to get just under 18litres in keg but the tube was curled around the top of the the trub. Will cut it down before next brew day at the weekend.

    Fermzilla All rounder Dip tubr

    Kegged a beer from my first use of fermzilla all rounder and there was quite a bit left over at the end that I couldn't transfer. I think that the floating diptube is a bit too long as it curled around the bottom of the fermzilla and prevented the float from floating 😃 Should I have cut the...

    ChemClean shelf life

    The faq for chemclean indicates that it's efficacy will deteriorate after a few hours so probably shouldn't be stored.

    Boel iTap

    Thanks for that. I believe I got the adaptor for the one on the right. You can buy separate adapters for the other bottles of you can find them.

    Boel iTap

    Not sure what old and new style tops are? You can buy adaptors for long neck glass and standard glass as well as 2 different types for PET bottles. It's been a while since I looked at it, but the one that I got from aliexpress fitted the glass bottles used for Guinness West indies porter. I...
