open valve all the way then a quater turn back this is a tried and tested method I have been taught both through scuba diving and as a BA operator as a firefighter. :icon_cheers:

thanks all for your responses and suggestions. Cheers :beer:

Hi All, I am about to move on from bottling and buy kegging gear. My question is does anyone secondary ferment in the keg as opposed to using co2 for carbination :beer:

well it's been two weeks in the bottle and i've cracked the first one tonight. I would liken it to an IPA and I will now leave it mature for another month has plenty of potential :icon_cheers:

thanks will try this :icon_cheers:

just what a fello kit brewer was looking for.... :icon_cheers:

part one done.... boiled 15g hops with Amber malt for 15-20 mins (took hop pellets out of tea bag) added that to the two cans in the fermenter and made up to 23L pitched yeast at 22 deg.... smells soooo good. :P now seeing as dry hopping is new to me when is the best time to do this

tea bag is 15g but if lhbs has cascade pellets may dry hop (something new to try B) ) will do tom (it's a variaton of a recipe i found in a book a while back)

cool will try that...

ok have an idea for a two can with ingredients i have laying around, would love some thoughts on the recipe... recipe: 1.7kg coopers draught can 1.7kg tooheys special draught can .5kg amber dry malt cascade hops tea bag safale us05 yeast...

if you have concerns about temp in the future and want to get started make a block of ice in an old butter container (use filtered or boiled water). this is something i have found makes life easier (I get a bit impatient to get the brew going) but as mark said 28deg c is ok (though not so much...

not going far so it'll be bottling a cerveza for me, first time bulk priming..... :icon_cheers:

I have to agree with this statement, this article is too shallow and fails to show the bigger picture :rolleyes:

well i supose it comes from the bad publicity some older generation brewers have left behind, most people can think of a relitive or friend of the family that was into the home brew scene 20 or thirty years ago that caused a lot of headaches (due to badly brewed rubbish) and exploding bottles...

well i tilt down to about the last litre then swish and tip the rest down the sink. I try to use the high sediment samples for tasting

yep put my brigalow hydro in to storage and bought a decient one from lhbs after brewing a stout and the damn thing maxed out

carpenter in renovation/extension..... love it when people diy and then call us :rolleyes: :lol:

Thanks all, will copy and paste these recipe's and try then out and let you know
