    Yeast for Munich Helles

    A member on another forum reached out directly to Bluestone and received the info in the attached file. I'd love to hear how the helles goes if you do end up using the Bluestone yeast.

    Yeast for Munich Helles

    Despite its name, I believe the Bluestone Pilsner yeast is actually the Augustiner strain so it would be absolutely perfect for your helles. I think the Wyeast equivalent is 2352-pc. I’ve only used Bluestone’s “London” so far, but it performed brilliantly. Go local, get it super fresh and enjoy...

    Best Conical Pressurised fermenter

    There are probably a lot more options now than when you were brewing previously. It will depend on your budget and which features you want. If you liked your WW kit before, they now make “brewkegs” in a range of sizes. These have the same functionality as the fermenter portion of the personal...

    Forum needs to be active so let's talk political.

    I think we'll be OK discussing politics. Just don't mention which homebrew retailer you prefer.

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    How about a half batch version? You could base it on your 2.5 gallon Cornelius keg, replacing the bottom dome with a cone and ferrule. With the kegs, butterfly valves and collection jars already being produced you’re already 80% there! With one litre in the jar and another in the cone, that...

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    What is the ETA for the tri-clamp and SS versions of the Fermzilla? Can you tell us how the overall dimensions compare to the existing Fermzilla?

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    Do you know the overall dimensions of the Fermzilla SS yet? I’m keen to see how it would fit in my existing set up.

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    The David Heath video mentions a stainless version of the Fermzilla. Exciting stuff. Can you tell us anything about this yet? I assume it will be built around an existing keg size rather than mimicking the shape of the PET version?

    Drinking from the fermenter

    Agreed on the Blichmann cornical. Flipping and changing base will undo just about every benefit of fermenting in a so-called unitank. Williamswarn’s brewkegs look like they get it right, but they’re expensive. They look pretty high spec and are aimed at commercial users as well as home brewers...

    Chest freezer not getting cold

    I’ve had a couple of fridges and freezers die on me like this. The last one would run constantly and just manage to maintain 18 degrees, but two weeks of running constantly makes for an expensive ferment! If it’s not the gas, then the compressor may have lost the ability to compress and move the...

    SafAle K-97

    My favourite dry yeast. Don’t be surprised if it looks like the krausen is still there even after you have hit FG. This yeast is in no hurry to move out of the way. It may also take longer to clear than you are used to.

    Who Is An Engineer...

    As an engineer, I had a good chuckle at those jokes. They're funny because they're true. I mean, come on, a new bike and a talking frog.......how awesome is that?

    Is this still the case? I missed out yet again, so it would be nice if they were consistently in stock.

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    For the best pour, is there a minimum length of line recommended between the KL flow control disconnects and the tap? I have seen photos of taps mount directly on the disconnect on mini keg systems, but I was wondering if this was just driven by the need to keep things compact. The KL video for...

    US election

    So he has caught COVID, lost his job and is about to be evicted. Sounds like a pretty normal 2020 to me.

    KegLand Questions and Answers

    If the in-line regulator (KL02172) was dialed right down, could it be used as a cask breather? Aspirators/breathers seem pretty expensive for what they are.

    The Corona Virus (COVID 19) Thread

    It seems that soap is the new toilet paper (as in the latest target for panic buying, not what you wipe your ring with......)

    The Corona Virus (COVID 19) Thread

    One of canned items which supermarkets are also struggling to keep stocked is baked beans. If toilet paper really is going to be in short supply, I'd be choosing a different source of protein.
