| Reducing Oxidation while Bottling Posted: 05 Jun 2021 04:45 AM PDT Anyone have any good tips, methods or equipment for reducing oxidation from bottling process. I currently use the PET bottles and have been using the carb drops coz I had some left over still. I then squeeze the air our of the headspace and put in the fermenter fridge with the inkbird probe on the side of one bottle to carb up at around 19-20c. I currently bottle straight from primary after cold crashing for a few days using one of those bottle wands with the blue tip. This issue I have is... Reducing Oxidation while Bottling |
| No chill bladder (cube alternative) Posted: 05 Jun 2021 02:33 AM PDT Has anyone got much experience with these?  10 x 20L Hot Fill Wine/Wort Cask Bladder - Hot Cube Alternative (Irradiated)Stop wasting time chilling home brew wort. These bladders/bags are ideally suited to brewers who want to save time and avoid chilling wort on your brew day. Simply fill with hot wort and screw on the cap.  www.kegland.com.au I used them for the first time for a double batch and they worked well. I often knockout 15L increments on my large system then dilute when I pitch. They are probably not suitable for that as it's a bit hard to weigh as you fill. has anyone rigged something up to make it easy to fill them? I sat them in a Cooper's fermenter...

| Posted: 05 Jun 2021 02:01 AM PDT I have acquired a second hand Pluto gun and am new to kegging. I have set up my kegs and lines (4 kegs). I'm not sure if I have all the parts for the gun? Does this look right? Also, if I want to do a force carbination, do I just disconnect the other kegs, turn up the regulator, do my stuff, turn it down and reconnect? Sorry for the stupid questions, but I don't really want stuff anything up. |

| Posted: 05 Jun 2021 01:41 AM PDT Looking at doing a 11l blonde ale. 1.042 OG 15ibu. It will be 98% pale ale malt and 2% light crystal. Wanting to add Raspberries at about day 3 or 4 to primary fermenter. Would 1kg be okay or should I add more. It will be fermented at 20 degrees using Kolsch dry yeast. Not sure whether to pressure or normal ferment. Would it be better to secondary ferment. |

| Ginger beer using beer as a base ? Posted: 04 Jun 2021 06:32 PM PDT I brewed a pale ale a few months back and i used the spent grain for a parti-gyle, so i have 20ltrs of wort that is like a very light beer with an SG of about 1.018. Thinking of using it as a base for ginger beer with maybe a small chilli infusion ? |
| Posted: 04 Jun 2021 04:19 PM PDT I have tried various methods of dry hopping including during the time the yeast is working, after the yeast has finished etc. I recently came across an article written by Drew Beechum in Craft Beer and Brewing. He has changed the way he previously dry hopped. He suggests bringing the temperatures down to lager type temperature 3 to 4c after the yeast has finished working. Then dry hop for 2 days at those temperatures. He suggests by doing it this way it maximises the sought after fragrances... Dry hopping techniques |
