pressure

Hi All, New member and first post so apologies if its been covered before. I've been brewing for about 9 months, only using kits and was just about to make the jump to all grain when I ran into a few issues with off smells/flavours. I've been pressure fermenting using the keg King chubby and...

How quickly do people dry hops drop out of suspension in fermzilla 27l conical, mine have dropped into the yeast container within a few hours? My pressure was at 16psi yesterday when I dry hopped and now letting it go up to 20-22psi today as at end of fermentation and transferring Saturday...

Thought I'd try a Bure Gold kit in my new Fermzilla, mainly so that I could get the hang of pressure fermenting and oxygen-free dry hop / transfers with this vessel before introducing more variables in the shape of one my own recipes. The kit recommended adding the included hops on day 4, but my...

Hi all. I have done a couple of fermentations in my snubnose fermenter so far, but each I have fermentation open and then pressurised at the end of fermentation. The next brew I'd like to do is a simple lager, and I'd like to hear from others who have brewed one under pressure. I'm planning...

Hi Brewers, So I've just bought myself a nice new beer engine and was wondering about peoples experiences. My goal (as probably with most of us) is to mimic that perfect pub pulled pint as closely as possible but trying to prolong life for normal home drinking rather than the high turnover of...

Introduction I use quite a few bottom-tap King Keg pressure barrels and I have very few problems with them. From discussions on the forum though it’s clear that many people do struggle with pressure barrels so I thought I might put together a few thoughts you might find useful. Although I...

Here is something to laugh about for the week ahead: Instead of being able to report proudly about my very first batch of homemade cider in the next few days, I discovered today that it has found a final resting place under the floorboards in the kitchen aheadbutt:tinhat:. I am using a King...

Hey guys, I finally feel I've got my King Keg as airtight as can be. I have fitted a pressure gauge and it isn't showing any leaks, so feel very pleased. I barrelled a NEIPA yesterday, primed it and injected a CO2 bulb too just because I know this beer type needs a little extra love. My...

Hi all, I recently upgraded my equipment, so have a Fermzilla and a Corny Keg for the first time. I'm getting a 50/50 gas cylinder ( I brew a range of beer types). So a couple of questions I'm afraid. My first brew will be a porter and I want to try to pressure ferment and then do a closed...

I've been home brewing simply for years . By that I mean traditional from grain, fermentation buckets and bottling after priming. Recently, I have taken the plunge on a Fermzilla with pressure kit. I'm looking to ferment and serve, so using the kit as an all-in-one. I've a couple of scatter...

I’ve been a bit of a plonker. I grabbed a top tap king keg of freecycle and was ever so pleased with myself until just now when I’ve racked my x-mas beer into it to find that the tap is leaking. It’s a twisty tap and turns out the rubber/plastic inside the nozzle is to pieces (not a...

Hi. I have been toying with the idea of making wine under pressure in my fermentsaurus. Why? You ask. Well because I've had great result on making beer this way, and the extra heat speeds up the process. The pressure allows me to ferment at higher temps without the biproducts from the yeast...

Hi all, At the moment I'm using a few more CO2 bulbs than expected and it's a bit of a pain to keep pressure on the keg. One or two of my neighbours have suggested putting a car tyre valve on the keg and pumping it up with a car tyre pump. What do folk think about that? Is it feasible?

I've currently got a Whit Beer in a pressure keg. Followed all the instruction of the kit (it's a pretty decent high-end extract kit). It's about 10 days into the secondary fermentation with brewers sugar and I've had a few cheeky tastes and all is good. What I have noticed is that the pressure...
