It's a slippery slope for here on Fletch. Kegs, mill, fridges and divorce.... :icon_cheers:

Should have bought one through Truman. Top deal!!!! See the Bulk Buy thread

And another to the list please Truman.

Trying a liquid yeast/starter for the first time and was wondering if the starter is @23C and you pitch the whole starter is there any problem with the starter wort having fermented at higher temp than recommended for the lager yeast??? Off flavours etc. Wouldn't it be better to chill and decant...

Planning this next.... Pete's Lager Lite American Lager Recipe Specs ---------------- Batch Size (L): 23.0 Total Grain (kg): 4.600 Total Hops (g): 17.00 Original Gravity (OG): 1.046 (°P): 11.4 Final Gravity (FG): 1.012 (°P): 3.1 Alcohol by Volume (ABV)...

Thought I would have a shot at a Mild......... Mild Dark Ale Old Ale Recipe Specs ---------------- Batch Size (L): 23.0 Total Grain (kg): 4.220 Total Hops (g): 23.00 Original Gravity (OG): 1.040 (°P): 10.0 Final Gravity (FG): 1.010 (°P): 2.6 Alcohol by...

Thanks for the help, a bit longer on the gas and a few samples will be taken. :drinks: All the best for the New Year. Peter

That was my understanding.... I usually wait till sample cools/warms and check three times. Attenuation, should I use apparent or real in Brewmate Tools to compare against what the yeast is supposed to produce. App is 88% which is high as Nick said, "real" was 72% which is on the money for...

Checked it again and it might be 6.1. Not going to make much difference

OK Nick.... am I right here? OG 1.053 Brix now after ferment 6 Used brewmate, does that mean an FG of 1.006?? and a potent brew???? Does temp and carbonation change anything??

I have one, but stuffed if I can decipher the conversion tables for wort once alcohol is present after fermentation.

That was No1 on my Christmas wish list..... maybe next year......

I am not 100% sure I had complete fermentation prior to kegging. All Pilsner grain/CZ Saaz using 34/70 yeast, 3 weeks at 10-11C, racked for 1 week and raised temperature to 16C for the last 2 days, CC'd to 1C for 4 days. Very clear but tasted a little maltier/sweeter than I thought it would...

Can you send me whatever you gave them last night......6am wake up this morning after setting up a trampoline at 11pm in a thunder storm. Time for a beer...... Merry Christmas to all.

I'll give it a shot......lol

So Micromatic regs are not a better alternative??? Same price probably reflects a similar quality. I will give it another try with the next keg and be very careful not to over carb(hopefully). Any clues on where to find a seal/rebuild kit for the Tesuco??

Yep, why do you ask? ...... the current brew was only force carbed for 24 hours at 250 kpa. Which seems strange as past kegs have taken closer to 48 hours???

Hi all, I have a Tesuco reg that is giving me the *****..... it continually creeps up in pressure?? They are supposed to have an inbuilt non return valve so I assume there has been no liquid enter the reg?? Anyone have similar issues?? Can this reg be serviced/cleaned/kitted??? Should I buy...

Anybody have a "spare" keg for a HLT/Kettle???

+1 I really think we get a bit too paranoid about tap water and its "cleanliness". Never had an issue with warm or cold tap water. Many a kit brewed with good old tap water.
