How many litres are you looking at going into the FV Dent? Will that be enough yeast for a HUGE beer.....
 
Is everyone bottle conditioning or are some people filling from kegs?

I was thinking of kegging and buying a blichmann beer gun.

m going to bottle condition, hoping it's one less variable of me making shit beer =P

I'll be bottle conditioning.

Did you fall asleep during the boil, dent?

If it doesn't work out, you could always spend $100 on hops and brew a Flavour Country :D :icon_drool2:

I actually thought kegging and bottling would be one less variable in me making shit beer. Can dial in carbonation volume on a reg. Never batch primed, only used carb drops and thinking two per PET bottle might be a little too much carb for a Robust Porter.

I spoke to soon, or was half asleep. If you CC that drops the yeast out therefore not having anything to carb up the beer if I do bottle condition right? :unsure:

About 35L in the end. I think I'll leave it the gravity as is, so long as it gets below 1028 or so it should be OK balance wise. I hate putting tapwater in the fermenter and I'm feeling too lazy to boil some up and chill it. I did mash it for 90 mins at 63 degrees so hopefully there will be enough attenuation.

I didn't fall asleep, just wanted to be on the safe (big) side - there's only 4 litres between 1095 and 1105 at this scale so my eyeball based sight gauge wasn't too far off.

There's almost nothing you can do to filter out the yeast completely enough so that bottle conditioning wouldn't work. So, no, it'd be fine.

Thanks dent, think I will bottle carb then :)
 
I blame dent for most things. The federal budget, gubment, inflation, social unrest. All dent's fault.
 
I guess I'm too busy brewing for you bastards for all that other stuff to get my full attention.
 
Hi Guys,
Any more spaces on the list? Brewing up a Rye APA if that helps (or hinders) my chances.
Cheers Ned
