    Old pickle, mustard jars for yeast

    Thanks - so would that be be less yeast washing with 1000ml or 500ml - not as many transfers, because if you have a litre that you could drain the top fluid off once been in the fridge and settled, that should be enough for a batch?

    Old pickle, mustard jars for yeast

    Hi There, I have old colmans mustard jars, jam jars....etc The lids fit well, and when originally opened they have the click, so must be pretty tight. Has anyone used for yeast washing, harvesting. Mason Jars are not that cheap because of the postage - With postage they are about $5.00 each -...

    Something wrong with regulator?

    Hi guys I think I have solved the problem :) First all when I first put it on it was blowing through vent as described. Put back on old and it was fine. Put back on new and doing it again. I disconnected from keg. Bit weird... fiddled around a bit and it was doing it on both, as stated. I...

    US 05 yeast action / bubble rate

    So what happened when the bubbles finished and wort open to air, surely it got infection? Or had the chance to get one? I have been semi pressure fermenting for a while, couple of days before end I put in the keg and finish off .. then in the fridge to cold crash ... everything drops down ...

    Something wrong with regulator?

    I opened up gas inlet and there is a think gauze or something that has a purpose. I cannot see how dirt would get past that anyway?

    Something wrong with regulator?

    When everything is on and assembled on and tight, it only comes through PRV.... well it’s coming through after pressure build up.... so it’s working in that sense...pressure builds up and vents through... so no leak or anything else..,

    How long does the Phosphoric Sanitiser concentrate last

    Agree, but I think in this case I just need to know it’s below 3, if it’s close I’ll chuck out solution.., it’s cheap..

    US 05 yeast action / bubble rate

    Yep thanks - think I am going to try bubble wrap, you can see what is happening, does the wrap rise up under pressure or just slowing escape. I have a stainless steel tank that has clips, I have have old plastic tank I could use if it has rubber seal in it? Yep is bubbling ok, so I will leave it,

    US 05 yeast action / bubble rate

    Hi There, I have had yeast in for 24 hours, 'bubble rate' is about 1 per minute maybe less, but put it this way much less than normal kit yeast I have used. Is the action / fermentation rate less in this yeast or do I have a problem. Set at 20 degrees in fermenting fridge. Thanks

    That happened to me too, I put cling wrap - about 4 layers, probably better sealed than original..
