2 lagers done today to try the new kegmenters outs Myburger from brewing classic styles and a Bintang clone ...................oh take me back to bali . Summer quaffers for the masses alergic to hops

Yeah not really sure I'll leave it a while yet and look more into it down the track

I think above 80 and your still drawing some bitterness from your hops ...... I'm sure I read that somewhere

Many ways to skin a cat mate , just to come up with a process that suits your taste . I lower my temp to 70 degrees and then add whirlpool hops and leave for 30 minutes . Any other hop additions beforehand I have in a hopsock . While I am lowering temp I remove hop sock , once at desired temp...

Found this interesting especially the section under dry hop contact time http://scottjanish.com/examination-of-studies-hopping-methods-and-concepts-for-achieving-maximum-hop-aroma-and-flavor/

Haven't even used mine yet and Im alreay thinking of a mod. A conical set up to dump trub and capture yeast would be awesome . Something simular to blichmann's cornical but I wouldn't be interested in turning it into a keg .

How did you go with this fletcher ?

I'm getting a consistent 80% efficiency last 5 or 6 brews . All I have done is add between 1.5 to 2 litres more to the mash for a 21 litre batch , great bit of kit. I also had issues with grain in the boil I tried using a BIAB for a couple of brews , more pain than its worth for me ended up with...

temp control I would look at something like 18 presuming your using an ale yeast . If your going temp control in a fridge don't forget a fan to circulate . Pretty much the fan can also act as a heater if needed aswell

anyone done a hefeweizen under pressure ?

loving biofine alot less mucking around than gelatine , am suprised at the amount of muck that comes out on the last half a schooner when a keg blows

welcome mate good to have another taswegian on board , just kegged a hobgoblin clone myself

Might try this approach I have two 26 litte kegmenters and will make roughly 21 litre batches so should be able to get the hops in without it being a gusher if I keep pressure to between 10 to 15 psi. Are you letting your hops in the stocking sink to the bottom or suspending with something like...

well my kegmenters turned up, now time to build up some yeast so I can get brewing in these bad boys . Starting off with a few lagers . Going forward still not sure of the best way to dry hop my ales . Not real keen on opening up mid fermentation to drop some hops in if I am going to get a...

You can always dry hop in the keg with galaxy if the flavours not quite right for you . I had recent success doing this . Only needs about a day otherwise I found it starts to get a little grassy

awesome , what strains of yeast have you tried ?

Great info coldspace as I am about to have a crack at pressure fermenting and doing lagers straight away this is valuable info for me .............big thumbs up. I have to 26litre kegmenters coming , how much headspace will I need ? Was hoping to be able to put about 21 litres in , enough to...

It's an experimental brew but had great success with this using galaxy and pilsner malt (the recipe idea was given to me by a brewer here in Tassie) So decided to try simular with Amarillo . It's a good introductory drink for people who don't normally drink craft beer Not sure how it will go...

I have been doing simular except I lower mine to 70 and try and keep at that temp with my grainfather then steep for 20 and then transfer with counter flow chiller that takes about 10 minutes . Going to experiment with slightly higher temps for different hops but 70 worked a treat for galaxy ...

Not really sure mate just read very early on somewhere that it was a good idea to use . I have stopped with that process, plastic fermenters will be gone next brewday as going to do pressure fermenting
