Hi All, I have kegged a batch of DSGA about 4 weeks ago and put it in the fridge last night. Poured a glass tonight when a got home and it has minimal carbonation. Put 15L into keg and purged head space with CO2. So there would be about 5L of head space. Primed with 60g of sugar and left for 4...

Yardy, That looks insane! how much is one of them?

Hi All, A friend is getting his set up going and has a 70L pot. He want to know what size gas burner he should use to boil upto 60L? Would something like this do? http://www.auscrown.com/page/shop/flypage/product_id/165 and also what regulator would be needed? Thanks, Nick

Hi All, I know there are side effects of temperature being to high and fermenting out to fast, but are there any of fermenting too slow? I pitched US05 at 23 degrees on its way down to 15 degrees. After 4 days had only lost 6 gravity points. I have turned the temp up to 17 to get a bit more...

+1 for US05. Its a good ale yeast. If you can control your fermentation temperature as well you will be on the right track.

If you want to make a quick easy cider. All I did was buy some Coles best buy apple juice (Could use apple and black current), take a glass of juice out to give a bit of head space, then sprinkle a bit of US05 yeast on top and then put a piece of glad wrap on top with a rubber band...

Hi Kev, The 23 was still on the way down. The fridge is set at 18 degrees for fermentation. Regards, Nick

D80, I just sprinkled the yeast over the top Nick

Hi All, At what temperature will yeast be killed? I accidentally pitched US05 last night at 35 degrees. It was down to 23 within 12 hours. Will this cause any major change in the beer? The brew was DrSmurto's Golden Ale. Thanks, Nick

Hey Guys, Instead of all that plumbing wouldn't just a barb to male quick disconnect do? Look in the keg king price list for product 005632. Cheers, Nick

Hi All, I currently have a mash on using allot of adjuncts. Had allot of trouble with temps and polenta dough balls. Mash has been on for an hour and the current gravity is 1.036 @ 64C What is the best way to rescue my brew if possible? Was thinking of boiling the crap out of it to get the...

I also may be wrong but if you have a 45L pot why dont you top up with water up to 40L before you start to boil but after the mash? Nick

It really depends on how much money you want to spend. For me about $100 was the right mark. Got a BIAB bag from G&G for $10 and spent $75 on a 40L crab cooker (I found the insert stainer works grate, I use a potato masher to squeeze the wort out of the bag). With regards to chilling, I chuck...

Hi All, If any one is interested rays outdoors have the Wild Country Crab Cooker - 40L on special for $69. This is what I use for BIAB and it is great. Nick
