Same as me , lol I generally have 42-45 ltrs in my kegmenters , and after sampling etc I usually get 1 full corny and maybe 9 ltr and 5 ltr mini , ha

Yep , I agree, I do find the softer carb is nicer.

Yeah mate, take valve off, drop to 0 or close to it. Leave head pressure in. I'd leave for 48 hrs before sampling to allow the large vol to cool properly and the co2 to absorb nicely into the liquid. Will prob pour alittle cloudy first up but very drinkable. Should be at a nice pouring pressure...

You can buy a higher pressure gauge from kk for the kk spunding valve. Screws straight on.

I agree, quality not much better at the start, I do find the natural carb is softer on the palet so a better beer than forced carb , even slow force carb over several days is not as good . I used to alway natural carb up a few bottles in the old days per batch and keg the rest and other than...

Not really much effort, fill, pressure up, click on and watch the biofine disappear into pressurised keg. Proballly easier than uncoupling the kegmenter after depressurisation and loosing nice headspace of co2, pouring in then coupling back up and repressure using gas bottle. Might as well...

Also highly recommend biofine, I've used it on past 4 batches and it easy, I mix 30 mls for 45 ltr batch into 200 mls of clean water , put into 1.25 ltr soft drink bottle pressure up with carb cap with hose on end, then click onto the kegmenter gas post and transfer in. Sometimes needs to be...

I run 3 kegmenters and due to the slight inaccuracies of the keg king valves I am happy at any where between 10 and 15 psi, all though this can be at 15 psi first few days when real active ferments are going then drops down to 10 in the last couple of days before pressure rise. This would be...

Hey mate, Did a heap of lagers last summer, bleed off pressure set to approx 12 - 15 psi at 12 - 13 degrees primary lager ferment. Usually after 5 days of active ferment, I purge a small sample with my pluto gun into jug, degas and allow to warm to room temp, take grav reading and usually down...

Cheers

Does anyone know where I can buy a copy of the book "bronzed brews " in Australia ? Cheers

For sure, but long term sitting on the cake will cause some issues I recon. I use 50 ltr kegmenters, and after ferment, carb up , I pressure inject biofine through the gas post and rock alittle and cold crash . My beers are clean and clear out of the kegmenter 4 days later and get real good...

For sure, I've done nice ciders using us05 and aldi bottled juice with some added sugar to up the alc abit.

**** us brissy guys are thirsty lot. Lol. Luv it..

Yep, I find it's easier with the kk spundings to after O2 and yeast pitch/seal up, I pressure up to 15 psi and and click on spunding and wind out very slowly with my ear right next to the outlet hears a slight hiss and then leave. It seems to settle in at 10-13 psi which is perfect. The carb...

Great article MHB, I agree , Interesting is the attenuation of the wort is the same in the experiments for a real thick mash compared to a more traditional thin mash.( I see this with my own experiments) The main diff was a lot lower drop in extract effiencey .i see this but it's not too bad...

Going to be 50 happy brewers soon:)

Thought I'd kick this discussion off as it's interested me from the start when I got into all grain brewing several years ago after 28 years of brewing beers . As some prob know, I've pushed the limits of my 2 grainfathers to max capacity, and the beers are sensational according to my piss head...

Yep, we make spaces cold :) It's the name of my business.

I bought mine last year ,payed full price but it has been a total pleasure. The hopper is a must, I bought the hopper later and it works a treat as it's solid, holds just about all the grain for 1 batch, plus has a great splitter in the bottom that directs the grain into the fluted rollers...
