Hey wobbly, I didn't realise you were using w34/70 or s23! That's really good to know, I'll have to give it a try, except the release valve I have only goes up to 15 psi. Going up to 1.5 bar and then crash cooling it, that won't over carbonate it?

Yeah I have read a bit about that, it sounds interesting. I just not sure what pressures and what temperatures and how long to do it for at what pressure and so forth particualary with lagers. As I am just starting lagers and they take so long! Just need to know all the above on brewing lager...

Hi droid, That's very similar to my lager procedure, im just wondering if doing it in a pressure fermenter makes it go quicker and allow for higher fermenting temperatures to be used. There is lots saying how ales go that much quicker but can't get a straight answer on lagers

Anyone done any lagers in a pressure fermenter using lager yeast? What is your procedure? Temps, times, pressure? Do you need to condition/lager the brew like you normally would with a lager or because it is under pressure you don't need to? Is it a lot quicker and the beer some out tasting...

Thank you very much for all this information. Can't wait to give it all a go, guess all you can do is experiement/trial and error. Thanks again Hoff

Sorry wasn't meant to post that twice...!

Hi Wobbly, Im really interested in your method as it seems so quick, especially for lagers. I have just finished my lager in the traditional way (2 week at 9 degrees then 4 weeks at 4 degrees to lager) and it's way to long to wait! I have just ordered myself a kegking pressure fermenter...
