| Fire extinguisher valve stuck? Posted: 25 May 2021 06:14 PM PDT Hi folks, I tried out using a fire extinguisher as a source for co2, I tried gassing up a corny keg, a small one 9 litres and the regulator got very cold and started to kinda frost up a little, the fire extinguisher was in it's upright position, I'm now thinking I should have inverted it and used it upsidedown, anyway it seems like when I let the fire extinguisher handle go as in the off position, it still letting gas through to the regulator, could the valve be stuck open? Also the second... Fire extinguisher valve stuck? |
| Posted: 25 May 2021 05:13 PM PDT Hello all, I started brewing kits at around the beginning of December 2020. My first kit was a Simply Lager Kit which came with the starter set up, brewing buckets etc. I then brewed a Coopers Hefe Wheat Kit using Dry wheat spray malt and the results were great. I along with a little help from my neighbour, tucked into the beers as soon as they were ready and the 2 brews were gone far too quickly. So I decided that I would continue to brew, but hold off on drinking my own beer for a while... Time to destroy the stash |
| Posted: 25 May 2021 04:31 PM PDT Some people may not want to write out a full brewday report but just say what they brewed. So what did you brew today? I made a 'bit's and bobs stout' to use up the odds and ends of grain I had |
| Posted: 25 May 2021 03:47 PM PDT Just knocked up a Festival Oaked Apple cider kit. Anybody made one of these? Any good? |
| What kit beer are you drinking tonight? Posted: 25 May 2021 03:17 PM PDT As the title says - What are you drinking tonight? |
| JaDeD Immersion Chillers in the UK Posted: 25 May 2021 02:56 PM PDT Hi, Been thinking about investing in one but never actually seen a UK based supplier. Final option would be to buy one direct and pay for shipping/duty etc. But, if I was going down that route I'd be interested to know if anyone else would like to combine orders to save on shipping. A Hydra is $160 and currently shipping ONLY on a single Hydra is $117, two are $127 and three are $155, four $184...you see what I mean... from $117 per item to about $46 is quite a saving. So: 1) Does... JaDeD Immersion Chillers in the UK |

| Summer Fruits on weds evening... Posted: 25 May 2021 01:56 PM PDT Just been to lidl for 3 AJs and a bag of summer fruit berries. Attempting it on weds being as ive now got the TC art down to a good process. Keeping it simple and I only make 1 gallon batches for bottling. Any tips n hints on a SF TC would be welcome. (:-) |
| Posted: 25 May 2021 01:48 PM PDT Hi Guys, I have started doing some bottle beers from kits, I have a couple of kegs on the go but I thought I would try bottling a few months ago, the issue that I have is the sediment in the bottle, I have it in the fermentation bucket for 2 weeks, then I bottle it and put 1-1/2 tablets in each bottle, I leave that for 2 weeks in a warm place, then I put it in the cellar for a further 2 weeks and the beer on the whole tastes ok, but it's this bloody sediment, would the beer be ok if I bought...

| Can you leave a Quick Disconnect not attached? Posted: 25 May 2021 01:47 PM PDT I've taken the plunge and built a kegerator with a twin Corny set. It has a y splitter which supplies the Gas to two Cornys via Quick Connect. Can I leave one keg attached and the second quick connect disconnected or should both quick connects be attached whilst the gas is on? (I only have one keg filled at the moment) |
| Posted: 25 May 2021 01:38 PM PDT Prompted by another thread on Fermentis' safale T58, I've been thinking a bit about the use of dry yeasts in Belgian beers and by Belgian breweries. There is some suggestion online - quite convincing - that Struise use T58 for Pannepot, and De Ranke use T58 blended with S33 (or maybe another Fermentis strain) for XX Bitter. Are the use of these, and other dry yeast strains more prevalent in Belgian breweries - i.e. micros that won't have their own proprietary strain - than might be obvious...

| Posted: 25 May 2021 01:35 PM PDT Going to attempt a beer with no dry hop is it going to be a disaster 15g simcoe 60 min 15g galaxy 60 min 20 g of each 30 min 30 g of each 5 min Any ideas |
| Posted: 25 May 2021 01:27 PM PDT I only joined the group a few days ago and today was my first brewday since joining so I thought I ought to give this a go - at least once. Starting with the crime scene, I revamped our garden a couple of years ago. My wife wanted decking, a gazebo, and comfortable seating, I wanted a bar, win-win! So this is where I also brew, at my bar, shown here in winter plumage (clear plastic PVC tarps fitted to two sides). |
| Posted: 25 May 2021 01:25 PM PDT Today I took the first step towards all grain with a partial mash. I was trying out the secondhand induction hob and 27 l stainless steel pan I recently picked up ( also got a copper wort chiller ) to make an American Pale mini mash kit from the Malt Miller. crisp pale wheat malt 200 gm crisp munich malt 150 gm crisp crystal malt 150 gm 60 mins mash at 65c 30 mins boil then 15gm Simcoe pellets 15gm Citra " mixed with 3kg light liquid LME, made up with...

| Posted: 25 May 2021 01:20 PM PDT Another dumb question - sorry! My batch of 30litres of chardonnay has been fermenting for 7 days - I've had two hydrometer readings of 1000, but have noticed the occasional rumble from the airlock. thought it had stopped. Will it affect the wine if I leave it on the dead yeast for maybe another week? Just want to make sure I'm not degassing/clearing too soon. Thanks for any advice! |
