How do pressure transfer with the fermenter? What happens with the bubbler? Or do you have a CO2 plug on or something that goes in an adds pressure to transfer? Never seen anything mentioning this before.

So if it is blocked do you think its in that poppet / nut.. Its obviously building up. When I put it on a keg it is ok for a bit until equalised and then pressure builds up again.

Thanks.. I opened up unit, cleaned everything - looks ok.. really does not look like anything wrong or worn. Put back and is still the same, repair kits is 14 + 13 postage, $27.. might aswell get new.. To me there is something blocked (same thing when not connect to keg and turn on an...

Do you think yeast helps, a mate uses Nottingham yeast and seems to be good in any brew but also uses Coopers BE3 - so could that too?

Hi Update using just malt as adjunct - coopers 500 gram - seems to have a better head. that with a cup of sugar to make up the drop in sugar content. Has any tried the MR BEER Mr Beer Unhopped Malt Extract - Golden (250g) Only a couple of bucks from coopers Designed to maximize the quality...

See video Going up and then PRV opens.. This normally happens if the gas is on and not connected to a keg. As soon as I turn on … is connected to a keg. I took the regulator off the other day. Since then.. is about 2 kgs of gas left.. Any ideas.. Took off and re added a few times.

I actually thought I got a good result from using light dry malt instead of Brew enhancer like coopers BE2 - ? Im not sure of the ingredients in a light dry malt? "Light dry malt extract is an extract of malted barley. Malt extract adds more body, flavour, malt character, head retention and...

So how do you add, do you steep the grains and then add to kit wort?

From what I read - in summary More malt, ie light dry malt, instead of BE2? As in proteins More hops, steeped in And maybe cold crash before kegging Just need something simple to do for home kit brewer. As I wrote this op post I was drinking beer with light dry malt which was better Thanks

Hi there, Home brew kits … how do you make a beer where head is like a commercial beer. Glass has rings on it, and lasts till the end. I have used grain pack with carapilis in before , I think that helped.. I generally use BE 2, Any ideas — or is it all grain the only way….? I have beer with...

Hi Someone gave a bag of light dry malt - old hard as a rock. Put in the stove to boil and soften… seems ok .. doesn’t taste off, just tastes a bit like sugar but not over sweet.. which I think it would normally be like, I can’t see malt going off sealed in a bag. Also a few tins of homebrew...

I wish I had re read this post before I bought :( ... think too smokey, or the smoke is not the right wood, I have really tried to like it - even if I mixed half half with pale ale - you get that smoke. if you had smoked paprika to food you get a smokey flavour, this is more like burned wood -...

Ok thank you

I calculated that wort would be 420 ml and the rest of the 750ml water, why cant I do the usual brew in the 15 and then make with water at the end in the bottle, ? I am not turn a 23 litre in 15 litre, if that is what you mean?

Thanks I was thinking that.. Its probably something should do with every brew but a hassle to boil 23 litres each brew...
