with the 5star gear give them a call and they'll get it in for you, 2 week turn around they recon, so think it just a case of not holding stock.

So back to my high temp ferments. both saw the sunny side of 38c (ambient) @ 15PSI; one a simple pale on San Diego Super yeast 2l starter OG 1048 with an fg of 1011 and an IPA on a US 05 cake OG of 1065 and FG 1012. Both have finished up quite clean, the IPA is dank as, so very hard to pick...

Numbers are just that, and for me prolly around - 4-500L but was short of a pale or quaffa a few times. I aim to stay ontop of that this year, have more taps, and presure ferments close up brew lengths.

Don't think it will need it, we went a little nuts late hoping, so much so draining the kettle was a night mare, about 150g of hops through the boil to 0, the 15min stand 200g galaxy flowers and chill, I might get a full keg.... maybe:phew:

Put down a a RIPA last night, went into the kegmenter at midnight, so adjudication is required does this count for this year or last??

Depends on your desired ester profile. Both high temp ferments, still had ester flavours(my previous post), so in essence you need to balance pressure and temperature to achieve desired outcome. We know pressure suppresses esters, we know heat pushes esters. Much play to be had.

Been meaning to ask a 50lt owner: what is the power hook up and element setup for the bigger unit? cheers MJ

Bung back can certainly upset SWMBO especially if it screws with other enjoyable activities, beer helps though.

From experience I've had with all manner of elements, any element once scorched, will continue to over heat in the same area, so the scorching is not only a sign of, but also a cause of damage to the element. Rulz Avoid acid rest with emersed elements Always recirc till clear before applying...

DCB thinking down this same path have 2 thermowels from beerbelly I plan to have welded in. Lately have been pushing the boundaries a little with a few ambient (yes the last few days included) ferments @ 15psi. I know at one point it was 38 in there. One of the beers was the swap brew dropped...

Throwing down a last brew also, simple pale with a dash of supernova, cascade @30,10 and 0 dry hop galaxy flowers. I should prolly get started on that!

MB, complete accident, brewed a standard wheat with one of the white labs hef strains (I'd have to check). Fermentation had finished was tasting nice fromvthe ferm. But decided it was a lil boring. I went and got c 1.5kg of raspberrys frozen, let them thaw over night on the bench, and chucked em...

Keen to offload my old mill in the new year. I know my location won't make that a simple task, but the damn thing is taking up space in my spec's cupboard.

all this hoo ha about religion. Christmas is all about stopping the kids from breaking **** or burning down the house, between laps with the lawn mower because the grass is growing like a foot a week. Trying to keep the keezer full is near impossible because of the constant mowing, and it's hot...

Mine will be going in the kegmenter Friday, didn't time it well at all, it'll be on tap NYE and that could be dangerous.

The 15psi, is likely vessel limit, I know Glacier do 30psi but that ain't cheap. How many of the Pro brewers that pressure ferment their Lagers actually also produce an Ale? Or have stated they use different technique for Ale regarding pressure? Pretty much I brew for the taste, the pressure...

Not as bad as building a 1km tall FV 10mpa??? When Inbev truly do take over the maybe....

There was some good info linked in the earlier pressure ferment threads that charted time/gravity/ester formation/diacetyl levels during pressure ferment. There were also some papers linked that got right down into the why and how of what pressure was doing. Including the damage to yeast above...

I know there is a popular belief that yeast can suffer detrimental effects under pressure. But follow me for a minute here. Lets take a small/medium craft brewer like Wayward for instance Brew length of 40HL, FVs of 40 and 80HL. Now for every vertical meter of height water will exert 10KPA of...

You two need to take a serious look at yerselves in the mirror! Or get a good divorce lawyer, my last debacle breaking out the tools in the dinning room, ended in near blood shed!! (and not from my lack luster skills with sharp tools, that has accounted for 37 stitches over the years) Weekly...
