I found out what I was referring to as acidic sensation is actually called hop burn.

day 4 (i think) of the hops in the keg and has mellowed allot and not too bad now

Not saying that my IPA's are bad. But sometimes I can get quite a acidic? Sensation. I've tried citra Galaxy Centennial Wolf... Normally I just keep the hundred gram bags in the vegetable compartment in a fridge, I just roll up and Peg unused bags of hops. I extract brew in a pressure...

Can someone shine some light on this? Why does everyone seam to blend hops and not just have all one hop variety in a dry hop? Now so far I have just been using 33-50g of one hop for my dry hops with ok results. not great though . Ive just been thinking that ipa's just may not be my thing. The...

Growing your own ginger is super easy and is the gift that keeps giving. @mynameisrodney I like your avatar, beer is looking super tasty. OK the results are in and in my opinion the resulting ginger beer is god awful... For my tastes, too much chilli, maybe cloves and too dry. It tastes more...

My recipe was: around 2kg of ginger (home grown) 2 chillies 3 cloves 2 tablespoons cinnamon 4 lemons with rind 3kg raw sugar 500g DME Blend ginger In large pot bring ginger to boil with 5l of water add spices and sugar boil for 30mins Cool mixture by sitting pot in sink with a bit of cool...

So I finished my first GB without straining and had some problems. I am using the Firmzilla and there was so much solids that it took up allot of the fermenter. So siphon tube ended up in the solids and blocked up the ball lock disconnect. Next time ill strain at least some .

So no bad side effects frome the ginger being in contact with the yeast?

But my point is, maybe you don't need the biab bag if it all drops to the bottom by the time it finishes fermenting. And, might get some more flavour out of the ginger while it's fermenting.

Hey, Im going to do my first batch of Ginger Beer. And I have been looking up different recipes and have noticed that everyone is straining the ginger out of the wort before fermenting. I will be using the Fermzilla for fermenting. Wont all the solids drop to the bottom, so straining is not...

Ok good to know, so it will make no difference if you go either 4 mm or 5 mm tube?

I've read you get a PSI drop for each metre of line, so ideally you have near zero PSI at the tap.

When using the Flow Control Ball Lock Disconnect what size tubing (4mm or 5mm) and length is optimal? Does CO2 come out of the beer in the lines when sitting for a while, because of low pressure? Then when you go to pour, this separation causes spurting and foaming at the tap? If this is the...

ive found minimum 7 days pressure ferment. 10 days optimum. 5 days would work but im sure the yeast is still working.

I pressure ferment between 10 and 12 PSI as soon as that pressure is built up it starts venting and continues to vent throughout the ferment, so gases are escaping. whether it's produces less or more of some gases because under pressure, I guess is the unknown. All I know is I've been brewing...
