    Refractometer - Why Not In Fermented Beer?

    Thank Raven, I assume taking the sample post filtering does not matter?

    Refractometer - Why Not In Fermented Beer?

    Noobie refractometer question: I understand how if you know your OG you can then take a reading of the femented wort, and using various tools/formulae, you can work out corrected FG. My question is... Can you take the reading after the beer is carbonated ?

    Filter Setup 101

    Just used my filter setup for the first time 10.20am this morning. :) Everything went according to plan as far as I can tell (fingers crossed). Beer was chilled to about 1 degree for a day or two, and force carbed straight after filtering. Will post a pic of the result in a few hours, but...

    Compensator

    Happy with my current taps and not looking to replace them yet. Have no trouble balancing my system as is now... but yes... would like to tidy up the lines in my fridge. Just wanting to see if anyone thinks they are rubbish or a PITA.

    Compensator

    Placement Of Valve In Filter Setup

    Hi, Am setting up a system to filter beer from fermenter to keg via gravity. My question for people that already gravity filter is this: Where in the system do you place the flow valve? The picture on Craftbrewers site has the valve on the "in" side of the filter. (Assuming this may be for...

    Reusing Yeast Directly From The Fermenter

    As a noobie yeast recycler (I asked alot of questions earlier in this topic), I'd like to share my experience since then. * Had a brew fermented with US-05. * Syphoned off Angel's Piss into keg. * Fermenter contained yeast cake and a wee bit of Angel's Piss left in it, which I swirled to get a...

    Purging Air From Filters

    Have just purchased a filter setup from one of the site sponsors. I also purchased all the recommended addons. I have been scouring the forums for advice on how to use it. I plan to filter straight from primary fermenter into a keg after crash chilling for a few days via gravity. There is a...

    Whats Your Favourite/best Kit Can

    I'm thinking the whole debate about what kits/brands are isohopped is getting a little off topic. (I started reading this thread to get some good suggestions about kits that other people have enjoyed, and it's turned to rubbish.) Back on topic... I must say I am a fan of Coopers APA, done...

    Kegging Setups

    Wasn't too hard.. measured the rear insert part of the thermometer and marked it out on masking tape. (See pick) I then drilled a series of small 1/8" holes inside the perimeter. This pretty much cut the rectangle out.. a few taps with an old chisel broke it out. Then it was just a matter of...
