shudn't u use a low pressure reg with a mongolian??? unscrewing the med reg out lowers pressure...ian

have read that refractometers give false reading in the presence of alcohol !!! have found this to be true...why ????

Shud have stated that it was a first gen yeast with the us05.....2nd with the 2112.... cone is at least 60 degrees or steeper will experiment with pressure next time....the thing that puzzles me most is why did it work normally the first few times??

kegged today after 1 week at 0.....yeast still not coming out right...looked like spew (very runny) beer looks fine

thats right, drinkable clear beer coming out the bottom dump port...very little cold trub makes it in on my system...have another US05 ready now and will pull down to 0 fo a few days to see how it goes.

gravity is dwn to1.010 (after 7 days ) the one drawback with stainless is that u can't see what is happening i lost patience and took the lid off ( to see why straight beer was coming out the bottom)

we have solar hws and rainwater and do not use it for brewing.....have u ever cooled and tasted it???? tastes like the anode would...a few cents worth of gas is a good tradeoff....ian

any one had this with a conical? after primary ,yeast floats to top and STAYS there....same prob with s189,w2112 +us05.....no settling at all all fermented at optimum temps and only these last 3 giving problem...no plug at all...beer is fine...what gives???ian
