Negatives to drinking high fg beer?

Posted: 13 Apr 2021 09:40 PM PDT

G'day, I'm wondering if there are any negative implications in drinking a higher than expected FG beer.
I see plenty of advice saying if it's finished higher and tastes fine.. bottle it up and enjoy etc....
I am.almost certain mine has finished, it was my first biab and I wasn't certain how my urn would perform, so I definately goofed the temps, started a little high and dropped a little low before equalising on correct temp.

I've agitated fv and raised temp to try end encourage further...

What is the recommended lagering process for a true pilsner?

Posted: 13 Apr 2021 06:56 PM PDT

G'Day,

I made a 42 liter batch of Urquell Pilsner (All grain). It is my first attempt to make a true pilsner.
The fermentation is coming to an end and now I need to put it in bottles and "lager" it.
But this is where I get confused as there's so much contradicting information on the internet.
So, I'm asking forum members, who have successfully brewed pilsner before, how they completed the lagering process?

OK, here's how the fermentation went:
I used a yeast starter and added it to the...

FVM build maybe...

Posted: 13 Apr 2021 06:30 PM PDT

I'm considering another build, I'm using a GF now but previously had a recirculating BIAB system until it leaked once too often.

What I'm interested in is a full volume system were the mash is not in the boiler (like a BrewEasy or Counter top Brutus 20) as this would enable me to automate the system right through to cooling.

I was happy with the beer my Biab kit made and I see no reason that a two vessel FVM shouldn't work perfectly well, although with the possibility of reduced efficiency...

FVM build maybe...

Maxi chiller for FV cooling

Posted: 13 Apr 2021 06:23 PM PDT

Im using a maxi 210 chiller for cooling. At present I use the agitator python pump in order to pump the glycol through my chiller. This pump is controlled from the FV controller and the Maxi looks after itself on a separate controller set at -5C (agitator does not run).

It seems to function great and much cheaper than a grainfather or SS alternative. However the Maxi python pump unit does not seem to have a massive head and the pressure is low. Could it need replacing? I seem to spend ages...

Iv got a good few beer glasses, different shapes, sizes, some with the printed widgets on the bottom (if that's what you call them?). But iv got one glass, my favourite. It's a Staropramen straight handled tankard style and no matter which beer I put in, it always gives the best aesthetics, at least to what I think a pint should look like. Head retention, bubbles up the sides ect.. I can put the same beer in three different glasses and do the Pepsi challenge and all will look different. Why...

Mangrove Jacks Grapefruit IPA

Posted: 13 Apr 2021 12:50 PM PDT

Hi All,

New member looking for some guidance.

Looking to to start this kit over the weekend. Kit says to ferment for 7 days before adding the hops and bottling after a further 2-3 days.

One thing I have gleaned from this site is that longer is better so my previous kit I bottled after 3 weeks rather than the 1 week suggested by the kit.

If I do similarly with this kit, at what stage do I add the hops - after 7 days or 2-3 days before bottling?

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

Maybe underpitched lager?

Posted: 13 Apr 2021 12:10 AM PDT

I brewed a version of a Munich Dunkel on Sunday in my new BIAB setup (65L digiboil) and am pressure fermenting in a 50L keg. All went great with the wort going into the fermenter at 17C and me realising I have double the wort so I pitched 2 packets of Lallemand Diamond yeast. Not sure how it's supposed to be, but the pressure was at 12.5psi after 36 hours and I plan on holding it at 14psi. The keg isn't...
