Clever priming sugar required

My experience is from normal fermenting (non-pressurised) is there's always a release of gas after shaking. This would be before bottling and after adding finings. Shake to disperse same, release pressure and start bottling.

Something for next time.

That doesn't make starsan expensive.

It really does. TFR does everthing what too. And it isn't £15.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't TFR a cleaner, not a sanitiser?

Yup

 

[Larse]

Yup

So why compare it to a sanitiser? Apples and oranges innit?

I said "TFR does everthing I want what too".

I said "TFR does everthing I want what too".

And I didn't understand what that meant. Slang? Local patois?

 

[MashBag]

Nope. Never said I used it as a sanitiser.

I don't use a proprietary sanitiser. Kitchen clean (can eat off it) is good enough for me.

Edit: typo

This has turned into a daisy chain. By having a ⅔ fill in the corny, it produces enough gas. Either for itself, or the next up helps outs by utilising its vent.

Just need to build gas to gas jump lead, with valves and a gauge.

Quick update. Half filling two cornies seems to be working a treat. First glass is still alarmingly like something Mr whippy would serve, but after that....All good.

Anyone fitted a ubend on the bottom of the corny beer tube.?

Is that to avoid the yeast? FWIW the Oxebar kegs come with a floating dip tube with a filter cage on the end which you (I) cut to just reach the bottom. Every pint is completely clear until it kicks leaving just about half a pint of slops in the keg.

What style of beer ?
What carbonation level ?
What serving pressure ?
And what beer length and diameter ?
I'm wondering if the first glass foam was down to the temperature of the tap.
