    Fermenter King Jr - review or feedback

    I understand its under C02 but I would still be scared that it would get infected during the transfer etc. I haven't tried cubing but I believe you do that with hot wort and then seal the cube with no air. Why would do you need to do that anyway, can't you just make up the one kit or are you...

    I believe that is because they use the same mould for something else

    Fermenter King Jr - review or feedback

    No, Im not worried about the 5lts, just makes it a bit stronger but not too much extra bitterness. Why dont you just hold off on the other kit till the first is ready or are you talking about using two different extracts for one beer? I dont know what the effects of leaving a kit open without...

    Fermenter King Jr - review or feedback

    Hi, I have a couple of these now and I use them for normal and pressure fermenting and for serving kegs. I know some on here won't like that but they work fine for me. I have made kits to 18L in these and when the brew is finished I CC and then connect up to my taps. They have worked fine, my...

    Pressure rated stainless fermenter.

    Have you taken a look at the Fermenter king junior. 19l Plastic with some nice handles on the top. I picked them up as Ive got a knackered back and they are pretty easy to move around and clean. Using C02 to move sanitiser and beer around saves me carrying anything! Also, with the superb...

    Fermenting Under Pressure

    Thanks Guys, I did actually put two packets of kit yeast in the first one, but it looks like I'm running a bit too cool and too low a pressure from what you are saying. Luckily I can access my fermentation fridge remotely, so i will up the temp now and see how it looks tonight. I was just...

    Fermenting Under Pressure

    Thanks Kadmium. I will try that out when the next brew has finished. I have run a couple of K&K brews through the pressure fermenter now, so I dont waste the good stuff working this all out. The first was a lager with the kit yeast, which stalled at 1018, tried raising the temp but nothing...

    No Frills low cost pressure fermenting

    As a continuation to the story, I pushed too hard and managed to snap off the plastic beer post moulded into the lid! Anyone know if replacement lids are available?

    Fermenting Under Pressure

    Thanks for your replies. I m just doing my first pressure fermented lager and its bringing up these questions. I was thinking about the sulphur smell, that seems to dissipate with age. So I was wondering if you are not letting this blow off that it may dissolve back into the beer and give an...

    Fermenting Under Pressure

    Been having some random thoughts about fermenting under pressure... When you use an air lock with no pressure, people complain about losing hop aromas etc through the airlock, so certain compounds must be escaping. So, if you are fermenting under pressure (say 5 PSI) are you capturing those...

    Perfect sense thanks, I have disconnected the gas and tried one yesterday and it was a bit better, I will give that a go tonight.

    Carbonation

    I tried the above with some longer tubing. Took the gas off and burped the keg. I then tried a pour,It was much better, the beer still had a head, but was a little more carbed. As soon as I put the gas back on at the lowest pressure to serve ( about 2 psi) the problem was back. I put water in...

    Carbonation

    Hi, not sure if this is the right thread but Ill give it a go! I have knocked up my own kegerator(ish), I have a CO2 fire extinguisher hooked up with a reg, through to some 9l SS cylinders with picnic taps. I have tried to carb some beers (one week at 10PSI), one in a ss cylinder and one in a...
