Yeah that was what I thought originally, but I did check! I think you are right, I'll have to pop the lid and take a peek.

Hi, Just thought I would ask... I've just put a cornie into the kegerator, but it won't dispense, which is weird because it was fine when I cleaned it out before putting the beer in. Any ideas why this would be? I've tried a different disconnect on it to see if there was a problem with it. The...

I'm not sure if it would work, but how about running your beer lines through a cooler box with ice in to try cooling it for now? I don't think you'll get a decent pour if it is warm. I pretty much guarantee once you go to CO2 you'll never go back, so much easier, brighter and more consistent.

Is it warm? That could cause the foaming... also the length of the line is really important too.. I have 2 metres of 3/16 line and keep it at about 12psi, but it is cold (kegerator set at 5C). Also, not sure why you'd prime in the cornie? It is literally only a few pennies more to use CO2 and...

Maybe they are trying to get rid of old stock 🤢

The sound! That triple engine has such a lovely power delivery and sounds delicious. Admittedly they do have some issues (the old ones had regulator rectifiers made of cheese) and they aren't perfect but they have a lot of character.

I've got an IBT-2X thermometer.

Yeah I was thinking of the 765 Street Triple, it's rather tasty! I've never owned a gixxer, but have ridden plenty. They really are great, and the sound is to die for. Keep us posted!

I have 2 of the DeLonghi Dedica machines, one at work and one at home. For the price, it makes an excellent espresso. You can modify the length and temperature of the shot, plus it does a decent job of frothing milk if barista art is your thing. I've had them for a few years and they don't have...

Been riding since I was 13 - first ride was a 400/4 which I promptly fell off within 200 yards. From that day forward I was hooked! Really learnt to ride in the bush in Oz when I was 16 on a Honda dirtbike of some kind, then came back to the UK and passed my test without ever having ridden on...

Thanks @Gerryjo I need to get one of these made up! I've never had a probem getting a rolling boil from mine, and it has never cut out (touch wood!!). I was lucky I think!

I've done the ball lever thing too, but I have a giant bazooka attached to it. It's a PItA and clogs up a lot. Would not recommend! @Gerryjo could you post a pic or link of what you use as the manifold please? I really think I need to change mine up..

Will it ferment dry enough for cider? Might need to add amylase or something to get the FG down maybe?

Great thanks @Joust, I hadn't seen that post. I've turned it off now. I think it'll stay at about 20-22 with no heat in there so should be ok I hope!

Also how long had you left it to condition?

Those of you who use old fire extinguishers, is there anything else I need (other than a regulator).. presumably you just press the squeeze trigger when you want gas? Or can you swap it out for a tap somehow? I've just scored free CO2 cylinders from a fire extinguisher supplier, which pleases me...

What's the consensus on temperature once it has brewed out? I've reduced it to 25 as it seems a waste to keep heating it. Could I safely turn off the heat now and leave it for a few days to clear up?

So I put the beer on yesterday, pitched the starter made from .3 of a gram of Oslo at about 2pm. Thought I'd top crop it seeing as it was going mad and had a huge krausen at lunchtime today. Opened the FV at 2, the krausen has fallen already. Just for a laugh, took a reading and it is done...

Oops, soz! I've had this problem a lot. Time was the only thing that sorted it out, but it took sooooo long. My solution now is to cold crash for a few days, then gelatin for a few days. Syphon into keg, not getting anywhere near the trub. I use the stuff at the bottom for bottles as there's...

Have you poured another yet? Could be that you pulled up the trub in that first glass maybe?
