Hey Black_labb is it ok to raise s05 up to 21* for the last couple of days of fermentation? I currently have two brews going simultaneously one s04 and one s05. They have been brewing around 16* for the first 4 days of fermentation and now I was going to turn up to 21* in regards to what you...

Haha Stouter nah I am just still learning. I have alot more equipment and space these days so been trying alot of different things. It was way to complex since then I have only been using 250g of carapils and 250g light crystal in most brews and playing around with different hoping methods.

I think your totaly right in hindsight this recipe was way overboard, it was the first time I used speciality grains and got a it excited haha. It was OK to drink but definitely not close to a old ale too sweet will use alot less unfermentables next time. Since then I have been doing mostly...

Thanks black_labb I didn't know that about S04. I have already bottled it and it seemed to work out ok, not over-carbonated, no explosions ;). Is s05 similar to s04 in the fact that it should be warmed to finish the fermentation? I am currently fermenting an American Pale Ale using s05 at 18*C.

Thanks mate!

Hey guys I have just put on a batch of an American pale ale which I will be putting into a 50L cub keg. So I have brewed two 23L identical batches that I will be combining and racking into the keg. 1. How long will it roughly take to naturally carbonate a 50L keg of beer using dextrose? 2...

Thanks for all your replies guys, lots of great info. I waited another day and the FG didn't move so I assume It has finished, bottled it and am enjoying a glass right now. Turned out great!

Hey Razz thanks for the reply, what does ADF stand for?

Hey guys, new to AHB so here go's. Just started getting back into homebrew and since last time my taste in beer has changed alot so this time I tried brewing my first old ale. Got a bunch of new equipment I have been playing around with aswell. This is the first time I have used any type of...

Sorry that is my intended storing temp which is just room temp at the moment in my garage 24-28.

I feel as though it might be very overcarbonated haha because after doing that rolling it around vigorously for a minute or so and then turning the gas off the pressure is not dropping at all. I used the release pin on the keg to lower the pressure on the reg to about 10 psi, but it still just...

Ok im starting again this morning and am following your directions Wortgames, I connect it all up to the keg and set the regulator to 36 psi and tap the keg. Now do I just leave it? What indicated that it has finished force carbonating? Will the pressure drop? or should I just roll the keg...

I want to carbonate my beer and then store it temporally (in room temperature) because I don't have room in a fridge. It will only become chilled on ice and all be consumed at an event.

Yes I am using a keg king mk2 multi gas regulator. "With the knob turned all the way to the left, little or no gas will come out. As you turn it clockwise it will increase the pressure. You can do this with or without the keg connected, as long as it 'sees' the back-pressure the needle will...

And wortgames when you explained how to use a regulator you said turn it right off (anticlockwise) then hook it up, do i have to turn the gas on or can i just connect it to the bottle and select a pressure with the gas still been off?

How can i tell the pressure that is already in the keg? And when its done? That is what I pretty much I have been doing wortgames but it doesnt seem to stabalise, like the needle stops swaying but then starts just slowly increasing. Am i supposed to leave the gas on once I reach the target or...

Hey folks, I am new to kegging and today all my parts have arrived and will be kegging my first batch just after some advise. I have racked the beer into my 50lt keg and connected the spear, circlip, coupler and gassline connected to my Co2 bottle through the mk2 reg. I am force carbonating it...
