Perhaps tap the fv on the side? That might encourage it to drop as it breaks the solid mass on the surface. Or give the fv a gentle swirl but make sure not to slop the wort as that could allow oxygen into it.

He has to say that to promote it. He's not likely to say "it's an exhibition fight and he won't let me punch him" otherwise no one will pay for the ppv. It's all about the grift with the Paul brothers

Jake Paul won't let anyone knock him out, it's in his contracts (or it was in earlier ones). I was hoping that Tyson would put an end to this ridiculous influencer boxing thing. They fleece their followers into paying for a ppv, thinking they are watching genuine sport.

Apparently it's now classed as an exhibition match

Ha! The censored word is crop but with an 'a' ashock1

I use a normal plastic bucket with lid. I never use an airlock, just clip the lid on fully then loosen/lift up about 1/4 of the lid. That way, I don't have to worry about liquid in the airlock being sucked back in. I use hop pellets and throw them loose into the fv when dry hopping. I've never...

If you aren't using a fermentation fridge but want to cold crash - I just leave my fv on the concrete garage floor overnight. Seems to do the job, as everything drops to the bottom

I agree, the price point that supermarkets want to sell at forces the breweries to cut back on hops etc - Brewdog have sold their souls to go down this route to maximise sales to the detriment of their beers. I haven't had an exceptional new Brewdog beer for a long time. Some of their older...

This!! I remember that all the online retailers were running short of kits during the first lockdown. I suspect all the new brewers from that period stopped as soon as they could go back to the pub. Also, the younger generations don't drink anywhere near as much as I did when it was a normal...

I think the problem with these kegs is the inner liner. If you rinse them with boiling water, the lining disintegrates which leads to the metallic taste. The lining probably wears out over time and repeated rinsing with anything above lukewarm water seems to reduce their life.

Finishing off my January low/af beers. I have 3 different ones still to try. The first is a ddh ipa, Lust for Life by Brulo. Very pale colour with a hoppy pine aroma. Slightly thin but not really noticeable with nice level of hops and bitterness (not surprising with Simcoe, Citra and Mosaic...

I had a Dead Pony just before Christmas as it used to be decent. I suspect it has changed sometime in the last 2 years

Just tried a Brooklyn Special Effects hoppy lager. I know they describe it as an amber but it was darker than I expected. Decent hoppy beer smell. The fluffy white head didn't last long. OK. This actually tastes like a beer. It isn't thin or watery and tastes decent - no powdery aftertaste...

Don't you want me? - Human League Enola Gay - OMD Vienna - Ultravox Never Tear Us Apart - INXS Hungry Heart - Springsteen My Immortal - Evanescence But seriously, I don't think you can look past Mr Blobby or Joe Dolce :confused.:

Yes. You can fill it with cold water to cool the fv down if you are brewing in summer. You can even put a towel or t shirt over the fv with the bottom in the water to get a wicking effect and cool the top of the fv too.
