Day 3 and SG 1.013 still to much pressure to get a sample and dry hop, after googling and youtubing I've decided to drop the temperature from 25°c to 18°c and reduce the pressure to about 5psi, hopefully it'll calm down enough so I can dry hop before fermentation has finished

I use this and it's good as you can input your own water profile and in the settings select what ingredients you have and it will recommend what to add for the selected style, I keep mine basic and just use calcium sulfate aka Gypsum, sodium bicarbonate aka bicarbonate of soda, sodium...

The connection on the pump is a thingy similar to 1/2" & 15mm, it's doesn't have to be perfect or tight as small leak is not an issue with submersible pump. Just use a brass compression with a straight bit of 15mm poly pipe. I've got a 1/2" male connector in the pump, then a female 'T' these...

After day 1 SG 1.030, today is day 2 SG 1.019 Normally I aim to dry hop when SG gets down to 1.018 but the way it's gasing off I think I'm going to have to leave it a bit longer, presently I dry hop with spectrum liquid hop and take a sample of beer to mix it. I intend to go back to dry hop...

I've been doing raw brewing for a few brews now and still learning. Recently I acquired a pressure FV after successfully brewing a lager type under pressure in corny kegs, so 1st raw brew under pressure FV. As always I changed my mind a bit on the recipe and made a few adjustments for the brew...

60l IPA Total= 9610L

If kegs are primed with co2 why not just add line from gas on last keg back to fermenter, I've done this on a daisy chain from 60l filling 3 kegs

I've got a similar clock, but mine is the Falmouth from 1977 commission, looking at the crest below yours is the Battleaxe

Go for it, I only made my own because I have a garage full of stuff that I can't throw away 'just in case' otherwise the cost of bits and sourcing them would probably work out the same possibly even more, and with a good cleaner this kit make's life so much easier, I also save my water from the...

I was looking at this and it is a very reasonable price, the only reason I didn't buy one is that I realised the only bit missing that prevented me from building my own was the pump, so sourced one off Amazon for £20 The pipe can drop all the way down and block the tee branch to the...

Just to add, I have a few inkbird's and the manual claims default setting for PT is 3, the default setting on mine are all 0, I have mine set on 5 for a chest freezer which is my conditioning/serving cellar at temp 10-12°C though turned it down to 8°c this summer, my other is at 3 which is my...

After a successful brew of my first lager, we demolished a keg on a camping trip and my friend whom I'd specifically brewed it for suggested I do more and install a faucet tap in my bar as presently I only have ale pumps. The phone signal was poor and I didn't go on FB until after we returned...

It seems that you can push the boundaries with fermentation temperature when pressure fermenting, and higher temps quicken the time, the recommended range was 9° - 22°c ideally 12° - 15°c it also recommended 1 packet was only for 10 - 15l but my kegs had 18+ in each. I went for 28°c as I'd seen...

I've recently brewed my first lager a German pilsner which was pressure fermented in corny kegs, I brewed as normal with 60 min mash at 63°c 15 min at 70°c and 10 in rest at 75°c followed by 60 min boil. Dropped temperature to 28°c with chill plate, transfer to keg and rehydrate 1 packet of...

Today I attempted a closed transfer of one keg however same problem with dip tube occurred. After a bit of surgery (hand sanitiser and gloves from the COVID) I managed to attach a stainless steel band clip to end of dip tube as I'd done with previous 6 kegs which solved the problem. Transferred...

Update, I tried to take sample's from both kegs, however one of the kegs was just gassing off and no beer! Initially I thought that the floating dip tube must have blown off and realised that either way I'd have to open up that keg at sometime, as fermentation appeared to have stopped in one and...

It's a first for me after watching lot's of YouTube, OG 1.041 and pressure about 12psi after 5 days sg1.014 First time for me and I'm fairly new to corny's After 5 days the sg has dropped to 1.014 OG was 1.041, to get a sample for sg means reducing pressure and using tap, after 6 day's the...

I can't believe about all the comments here and no body seems to care about the poor beer fridge/cellar/keezer etc working it's ares off just to put a smile on your face
