So my mrs has organised a party at home for New Years. A few mates, a keg of cider, and a keg of belgian pale. SORTED!! My lovely girlfriend has since invited a bunch of acquaintances, and to my "what about the beer?" query, she replied: "its ok, theres a keg of carlton coming too, we can just...

hey guys sorry to dig up an old thread, but i'm getting my brew gear out of storage, and looking at getting into the BIAB this time, is this program (or perhaps an update) still available? cheers Joel

i bought a 2.6kg keg king co2 bottle from ebay, and on the label reads "food grade co2" to me this means 100% CO2... recently i have been told by 2 different publicans that they mix with nitrogen, and the co2 they get is 55%co2 mixed in nitrogen, and depending on the popularity of the kegs...

Hey i recently bought a new second hand andale font, and need to change the beer lines... i thought it would be a relatively simple task, just cant figure it out... anybody done this a million times? Do the end caps come off? not really sure what exactly a flooded font has inside its guts...

ok so i've done a bit of a test... at a 2 day stable 8psi at 1-2degC(55kpa) it takes 25 sec to pour a beer, and depending on the glass i use i get a pretty good head, which stays for probably 1/2 to 2/3 of the schooner, but it still tastes a little flat for my liking, especially towards the end...

yeah i've tried to avoid carbing at anything more than serving pressure, failing that, priming with sugar was going to be my next plan of attack... any particulars to prime this way? (25.3 longnecks in 19L so 50.6 teaspoons?) haha what is the standard? should i add extra yeast for the priming...

would there be any reason for the beer not holding gas?? apart from being over carbed? from the chart i've looked at from http://www.wortgames.com/reckoner/reckoner.pdf i've got my fridge at 1degC, so for "typical" carbonation (2.5), the chart says 9.3psi or 64kpa is ideal... which is how i...

ok so i cut a metre off the hose, it poured a bit more full, but still foam... new brew will be done soon, perhaps this will be better. my brew shop guy said to gas at 34psi (240kpa) for 36 hours... anyone else use this method?

ok so i've brought the gas down to 10psi, raised the temp to between 0 and 2 degrees, waited 3 days (releasing and shaking periodically), poured beer... first half schooner was foam (due to hot lines outside the freezer?)- left to sit, calmed down, went flat (expected) poured a 7oz: beer...

4 meters... so i dont get it? it worked better (1/4 beer to 3/4 head) with a 600mm hose... both flat

after 10 min

how much dex should i add to naturally carb, and would it be best to keep it at room temp for 2 weeks or in the fridge at -1?? cheers

thanks for the link fear bribie nah i fill the keg, then put it in the freezer at -1 to gas, where it has been at 30psi for 5-6days. i turned the gas down to 10psi and purged to let some pressure out before serving, and when i poured, it was making 2/3 of a schooner of head at best, and the...

i've got the keg in my freezer, where the temp fluctuates between -2 and 0 degrees, where i have the gas bottle and everything in the freezer. the first keg was a bit of a shambles, because i didnt have the freezer ready, thomas coopers australian heritage lager in an icebox at 10psi for about...

i have been brewing can and kilo for a little while, and have made a keg setup out of a 215L chest freezer, with a fridgemate to keep it at about -1... my problem has been flat beer (still managed to drink it, but it would be nice if it wasnt flat) i'm charging kegs at 30-35psi, then bringing...
