@matt76 It was slow. I thought it was slower than US-05. I found that slowly rising the temp and stirring the yeast back up into suspension gave it a boost. It finished at 1.011. Its a nice yeast just a bit slow. I'd use it again, but will probably make a starter next time
Its not doing too bad now, just really slow. I found that venting the pressure on the fermzilla rapidly caused the yeast to stir up in suspension, without exposing it to oxygen. It's now down to 1.014. So 76% att and CML state it at 75%
I am using the Haze yeast for the first time and it seems really slow compared with US-05. Is it usually a slow one? Beer is temp controlled and under 15psi of pressure
How was the beer in there? I went in a few times when it had just opened, and the beer had a strange 'fairy liquid' taste. Gave it a few attempts, but it put me off in the end and not been back since
As Sadfield has said none specifically in Stockport. I think there was one at the Chiverton Tap, in Cheadle Hulme. Not sure if it still happens. I'm from Stockport and go to the Manchester Meets. They are mainly at Cafe Beermoth, but we do sometimes have them at Beer Nouveau. Next one is this...
I'm not sure its an old Indesit one. I can fit 3 kegs in a row no problem. Then it has a step inside running along the full length of it. Because the wooden collar has raised the height I can fit 2 kegs on there, either side of my gas distribution manifold. I will see if I can upload a pic if I...
I bought a second hand chest freezer from gumtree, cost me ã40. I rubbed it down with some fine sand paper and gave it 2 coats of blackboard paint. Removed the lib and fitted a collar like in the video. I lined the collar with that silver bubble wrap. I use a STC-1000 to control the temp. It...
@strange-steve Thanks for the advise, much appricated.
On the other hand the other day I did a 37 litre total volume BIAB. With my calcium at 13 ppm I used 0.3g/l of gypsum (11g) to bring it up to ~85-90ppm. Would this be OK and not too much mineralisation?
Hi all and @strange-steve
I am right in my thinking here ( hope it makes sense)
My water as is out of the tap is :
CALCIUM = 14ppm
SULPHATE = 18ppm
CHLORIDE = 8.5ppm
RATIO= 2.1 (sulphate/choride)
I am brewing a NEIPA so I want more chloride rich water. I am doing a total volume BIAB with 37...
Has anyone watched Olly Smith Ale trails on the travel channel?
It is on Monday nights at 21:00. I have only just found out about this program.
Just wondering if anyone has watched it and if its any good?
