Hey Kieran, yep that’s a thing. A lot of the brewing software (eg Brewfather) will have priming calculators for kegs, it works out needing a fair bit less sugar (half the grams/litre) than for bottles

If there are any 9l kegs left can i please get them at the going rate ($33 each)? Thanks

The Special B seems a little out of place for me, I associate it with fruity Belgian ales rather than Czech lagers. It might work, just checked the style guide and dark dried fruit may be present… just be careful not to overdo it

You’re using gravity aren’t you? Ie one keg on ground, the other on a table and jumpered together?

Hi Solidute, you could use a garden sprayer, cut the hose and insert a carb cap...

Hi Bigrus, my guess is the reading you took was incorrect. Can you give some details? Recipe/ingredients, volume, process, original gravity , timing, etc

My order arrived in Sydney this morning

I’d go a 3 vessel system comprising digiboils, pumps, etc. Just looked on the Kegland website and the have a kit for $1150 https://www.kegland.com.au/products/allstar-65l-x-65l-x-89l-digiboil-3-vessel-brewery-rims Would do the job at a good price

The powdery layer sounds like the start of a pellicle, if so then they are both infected. Might be the design, depends on where the gas get out… or in. Tbh, with those things I’d be more worried about oxygen getting in than infection, which would be a good reason for the poorer tasting beer

I think the big variable here is how much CO2 has absorbed into the beer. I wouldn’t assume it’s 50kpa worth… suggest giving it a couple of days disconnected from the gas, then use the reading then as your value to adjust from

I have a SS Brewtech one. It’s just what you’d expect, does a great job. But if buying for the first time I’d get the Kegland one for the reasons you mentioned. Only concern is how sanitary the ball valve is… can you disassemble? I pasteurise all the removable parts of the BB when I clean, would...

@3aly7@19, can you post some pictures? Or too hard to access?

It’s hard to go wrong with base malts, so that’s fine. But what is your predicted OG, fg and IBUs. Get those wrong and they can throw the beer out of balance…

I asked a similar question ages ago, the answer will be on this thread somewhere. From memory pasteurisation temps were fine, but the pressure rating drops significantly

User error is a distinct possibility. E.g. forgot to put carb drops in that one…

Hey @Topher i’d love to grab this please! Will send you a DM

Just to clarify @the.cassowary, are you talking about just using the co2 from the fermentation or are you also thinking about a co2 bottle and regulator?

Interesting idea. Is the outside of it insulated?

Occasionally, when I think of it, I’ll give my coil a bath in my strike water (~70c). Most of it gets immersed. But that depends on having a coil that’s easy to access/remove

I asked KL this a while back and they said 100c was fine
