    My Cornelius Keg adventure

    Thanks for the answers. It was a fresh 10l batch of water and 15 ml of starsan. Ph papers are on the shopping list. After 24 hours the pressure has dropped to around 14 psi which is probably what I'll keep it at now as I think that is going to be my serving pressure.

    Does anyone else sit in the office thinking about brewing and beer?

    Quite often I do. Doesn't help working from home sometimes too!

    My Cornelius Keg adventure

    First kegged brew tonight. Had a lot of pellet dry hop debris so transferred to another FV and then managed to get 16L into the keg. All went fairly well but didn't watch the clock to time myself as I just wanted to get myself familiar with the sanitising and filling process. I have set the...

    The 'Recommend me a TV series' thread

    Similar here. Watched 3 the first night then 2 episodes the following night. I can't be doing with waiting a whole week before the next anticipated episode is available!

    Started watching The Americans last night as was a good start. Looking forward to the rest of them!

    My Cornelius Keg adventure

    Goodness that looks a bit complicated at first glance! I assume it can handle 3 different pressures? What are the other connections at the bottom for?

    My Cornelius Keg adventure

    I know im already planning the additional taps, whether to have a 3 way regulator to have separate pressures for each keg. Oh yeah and of course the other 2 kegs im sure will fit in my larder fridge!

    My Cornelius Keg adventure

    Ive gone brought some new shiny equipment! I have taken the plunge and purchased a Cornelius keg setup. I got the gas (7L) earlier in the week and the rest of the equipment delivered today from The Malt Miller. Only slight problem is that they sent me a screw gas in instead of a push fit, but...

    The 'Recommend me a TV series' thread

    Just watched "The night manager" on amazon prime. Only 6 parts and was quite gripping I thought. I wanted to watch each one back to back. Managed it over 2 nights.

    Brett IPA

    Already mentioned to @Hoddy that I have tasted his beer but thought I would put some notes here. His Brett Saison was clean and crisp in flavour and although he said to serve chilled which I did from the fridge I got a fruity flavour once it had warmed up a little. Carbonation and head was...

    Braumeister Brew 2 - Blond Biere de Garde

    On the issue of hops blocking the tap I too have been there! I have a hop spider, but I do wonder how the utilisation is affected especially with large amounts of leaf lops, which is why I try to go for pellets. If I decide not to use the hop spider as it is another thing to clean and if I use...

    Azacca Hops - Thoughts?

    Have you tried this yet? Was it hoppy enough? I'm planning mine this weekend. What yeast did you use? I have wyeast 1275 ready for it.

    Braumeister Brew 2 - Blond Biere de Garde

    Always look forward to hear how others get on with their brews and experiments with the Braumeister. I've never managed an OG that high. Not quite worked out why that is yet as I think there a few possible reasons. I have that yeast in Beersmith. Maybe it appeared after an add-on I downloaded?

    1st Braumeister brewday - Amber Biere De Garde

    Great to see another Braumeister brewer on the forum! I love using mine! May have to have a go at that recipe as it looks fairly simple and is a beer style I'm yet to brew. I have mashed all my brews with 23L except the last one which was 25L. Pre boil to post boil I tend to gain 4-6 points...

    Rye crystal malt alterntive anyone?

    Pretty much my favour beer of all time I think. My recipe has Citra and Amarillo so 2 hops that aren't cheap!

    Rye crystal malt alterntive anyone?

    In the Ghost Ship Clone attempt I have just made along with pale malt I used rye malt and carapils. Think I read a few recipes onine to put together my recipe. Taste very nice and pretty similar. I have a bottle of the proper stuff to taste along side at some point to compare.
