Treading water with K&K at the moment.. hanging to get into AG... but need to finish some home renos first. This is a Coopers Dark Ale with 500g of LDME and 1kg BE2. Filtered, kegged and force carbed this evening. US-05 at 18deg. (Edit yeast info)

Thank Raven, I assume taking the sample post filtering does not matter?

Noobie refractometer question: I understand how if you know your OG you can then take a reading of the femented wort, and using various tools/formulae, you can work out corrected FG. My question is... Can you take the reading after the beer is carbonated ?

A big thankyou to all the trail blazers and ideas put forward in this thread. I just upgraded from my old fridgemate to a tempmate. Happy with the result. :)

Result! Photo taken (with the good camera) at 11:43am. Just over an hour from ferementer to this shot. Very pleased. :D Big thanks to all that contribute to this forum.. in particular to Pumpy.. whose posts on gravity filtering have been invaluable, ... and Ross @ CB for selling me a...

Just used my filter setup for the first time 10.20am this morning. :) Everything went according to plan as far as I can tell (fingers crossed). Beer was chilled to about 1 degree for a day or two, and force carbed straight after filtering. Will post a pic of the result in a few hours, but...

Bumping an old thread... Any one else had any experience with these ? The idea of them and the price appeals to me... just wondered how good they are in practice.... pros, cons etc.

Thanks guys... :icon_cheers: Confirmed what I was already thinking... new to this... so like to have others in the know back up my thoughts.

Hi, Am setting up a system to filter beer from fermenter to keg via gravity. My question for people that already gravity filter is this: Where in the system do you place the flow valve? The picture on Craftbrewers site has the valve on the "in" side of the filter. (Assuming this may be for...

As a noobie yeast recycler (I asked alot of questions earlier in this topic), I'd like to share my experience since then. * Had a brew fermented with US-05. * Syphoned off Angel's Piss into keg. * Fermenter contained yeast cake and a wee bit of Angel's Piss left in it, which I swirled to get a...

Coopers Draught + BE1 + 300g Golden Syrup US-05 at 18deg. Still a little green... force carbed yesterday. Still got some clearing to do.

Irish Red Ale.. only a K&K but I'm proud of it. :D My second beer since started kegging. Image seems to have lost the beautiful red colours on uploading. [Edit] Only the thumbnail... full image still looks the goods.
