Just did a quick bit of reading and yes there is a fairly significant difference in the solubility of CO2 in water between room temp and fridge temp, probably an extra 50%, not sure how long you’d need to keep at the low temp to get this to happen? Even considering this I think the fruit pulp...

Well I am English 😁 Ah just read up on this and there is a relationship between CO2 absorption and temperature, I’ll need to dig up some graphs to see how much of a difference the 15ish C makes but I suspect this would result in just a little more carbonation and wouldn’t account for the...

Thanks, very useful info. Re chilling to infuse the CO2 I’ve never had that issue with beer?

Ok I need to get this clear first I’m asking on behalf of my wife, I don’t “brew” kombucha I merely assist whilst drink my home brew. But.... other half made kombucha, after reading the “add a bunch of fruit pulp and a spoon of sugar to each bottle and stick in fridge after 3 days” method of...

Ya. I'm a strict starsan man when brewing, the bowl was grabbed for a non brewing issue.

First brew in two years and muppet here forgot to hot rinse the bowl I use for squeezing and sparging my grain bag and managed to tip the sparge water complete with trace elements of detergent from the bowl into my kettle. This resulted in some soapy bubbles on the surface which I've skimmed off...

I’m getting back into brewing after a couple of years break and was trying to read a couple articles on the wiki that the posts link to but they seem to come back with errors. Does the wiki no longer exist?

Thanks for the heads up on the Intertaps, they're forward sealing, reports of quality seems to be fine and they meet the budget. I'd love the Andale but at $100+ for each tap and I need four plus shanks it's going to push the build budget too far. I'll keep a look out for some good second hand...

Given that I plan to have four taps but I'm not a heavy drinker and it could be 4 or 5 days between uses of each tap I assume that a front sealing option like the Perlicks would be better? With the above scenario in mind are there any other cheaper alternatives to the perlicks that would help...

Thanks all.

Hi All, To save me from sifting through the hundreds of pages of kegging set ups thread if you were starting from scratch on a kegerator what taps and regulator would you recommend? Cheers Zarniwoop

Thanks.

My search for cheap CO2 continues... What should I be aware of if I look at a second hand CO2 tank? I believe there's an in-test period (10 years?) but beyond that? Cheers Zarniwoop

Anyone know a good source of cheap CO2 fire extinguishers and/or where they will fill them in Melbourne? Cheers Zarniwoop

Thanks, I'll give one of these a shot.

Hi All, I'm looking for an easy drinking summer beer that uses galaxy (I really enjoyed the passion fruit flavor in one I had recently). Any recipe suggestions welcome? (BIAB with plate chiller) Cheers Zarniwoop

Thanks I'll have a play around.

Thanks all, I thought it might be too variable.

I never really thought about this before I saw it mentioned on another thread but should I be removing my hop socks (with hops in obviously) from the wort at the end of the boil before I whirlpool? I plate chill hence the use of hop socks but the 15 minute (ish) whirlpool adds a lot of time...

Hi All, A bit of an open question I know but I've been struggling recently to bring my FG level down, regardless of the recipe it seems to be sitting at 1.016-1.020. I re calibrated my thermometer and found that I'd been using the wrong adjustments and most of my recent brews have been about 3C...
