Hi friends
For Xmas I had bought myself a snub nose fermentor. All my brews so far have been in a fermenting bucket with lid and airlock.
I was planning to brew a hoppy golden ale today using my snub nose at atmospheric pressure i.e. using a regular air lock. Then to batch prime and bottle
Before I started my brew it dawned on me Ive not really looked at my snub nose in regards how to set it up.
Recently I had brewed the GHB Bohemian Pilsner which came out very well. I had batch primed and bottled. Like many other threads on the priming subject I found it took much longer than expected to fully carb up.
Also I found if I allowed the sediment in the bottle into the glass when I poured apart from the obvious cloudiness I found it added a sweetness.
I am planning to brew larger under pressure and keg. I have bought a Co2 gas bottle and it is my hope going this route will make my larger even better...although ale are still my main thing.
So Im trying to work out what things I will need?
Ive looked one brewkegtap at the Spunding kits.
At pressent Ive no connections for my snub nose. Im thinking I can use the Spunding valve with a tube into a glass of santiser for brewing my ales. Is that easier than trying to fit a bubler into the post hole?
Also I will need a regulator for my Co2 cyclinder and lines to connect to the snubnose and to a keg...oh and a keg. Oh the expense of this hobby!
Anyway sorry looks like Im almost clarifying to my self what I need but still would welcome comment and thoughts on the subject.
Cheers all.
