I'd be going for barbs on the gas side. Too many stories of people losing full bottles of CO2 with Duotights when they aren't fitted properly or get flexed in tight spaces and leak.

Could you pour it into the fermenter and pitch the proper yeast in the hope that it might overtake the wild stuff?

Unless there was some wild yeast sitting on the hop pellets....?

Looks oxidised. If it was a pre-hopped kit you probably shouldn't boil it either as you could make it more bitter.

We have a similar law that needs changing in WA. My local Brewery (Seasonal Brewing) can sell their own brewed beers from the tap without any worries, but any beers from other breweries on their guest taps have to be bought with food. It's ridiculous and extremely frustrating for them.

Probably a bit late to do anything now short of fishing it out and adding some weight, but when I've used magnets in the past I've put a couple of stainless steel teaspoons in the bag to weigh it down. Unfortunately in my experience the bag does not seem to sink of it's own accord otherwise.

When you have a stable gravity reading over about 3 days you should be ok to bottle. Do they predict a Final SG? It still seems quite high at the moment though it may have some non-fermentable sugars in it to maintain the sweetness.

Thanks mate, interesting!

Can confirm.

ITC-308 Wifi would be great for me. Would save me going down to my shed to make sure the temp alarm is not going off and I could check my phone to see when the strike water in my brew kettle was as the right temp. I currently only have the standard ITC-308. (which is still great)

Welcome mate, it's all a learning process and a slippery slope as well. Best advice I can offer is take your time, read a lot, watch youtube vids and you'll have a better handle on things . Oh, and sanitation, followed by temp control are probably the 2 most important things to get right in...

Great post. As the Frozen song says, "Let it gooooo!"

Let me know what recipe you end up using for your BIAB @Nickedoff as there's a few different versions and I've been tossing up which one to use myself.

Hey mate, I keg hopped a pale ale last week as it went into the keg from the fermenter as it was lacking a bit in aroma. I left it a week to carbonate in the fridge at serving pressure and tried it on Friday night and it was glorious. So, in my case, a week! I suspended about 50g of Citra...

Yeah, I was supposed to go to Northern Italy at the beginning of May and travel around for 4 weeks sampling everything edible and drinkable with Mrs Beergee and another 2 couples. Guess where the first 'Rona hotspot was? Ah well. First world problems as they say.

Well I decided not to use the yeast cake from my Pale Ale for the GB as it had quite a lot of hops in it from my dry hop addition to the fermenter. I didn't want to overpower the gingery goodness. Anyway, pitched the nutrient and yeast supplied in the Morgans kit and it took off within 12hrs...

It should be! There's a chart out there for the length:diameter ratio. Personally I run 3M of 4mm ID line at about 12psi. Fridge temp is around 2C. Pours a little slow but never get any major foam problems. (except when I forget to turn on the font fan) :)

Cheers @Grok I'll PM you towards the end of this week. :)

Hi @Grok , I'm keen, can't get over there until this Saturday (31/10) unfortunately. Will that be too late?

Yeah that's not on. I appreciate the fact that you take time out to answer a lot of queries, (including mine) to the best of your ability. This is what forums are about, helping people, robust discussion and different points of view.
