So connected my proper tap with a 2ft length of 3/8 pipe and beer came flooding through so maybe the picnic tap is poor. I understood I would need 10ft of 3/16 to get good flow with low foaming.
Doesn't seem to be any blockage!
As the beer is very young - and possibly still carbonating, I haven't pulled a "pint" yet but a few small glasses full which took ages - I would say a very slow trickle. I will try & put up a short clip.
Could use a bit of advice.
First go at kegging here - all the parts are brand new - including the kegs and a good quality regulator (I think) - 3/16 pipe at about a 9' length.
So had the keg at 30psi for a few days then in the fridge at 15 psi for over a week now and using a picnic tap until I...
Just started kegging and received my first CO2 bottle - a 3.15 kg size.
On connecting it it is reading 48bar and is in the light red section of the regulator gauge.
Wondering if I have been given a low filled bottle or is it normal to read like this. Wanting to know when to re-order, assumed...
Just starting to keg my beers now and looking with interest at adding gelatin to clear the beer - mostly IPA's and amber ales but will be brewing lagers soon so would like them to be nice and clear.
Any help on this process would be great - I guess it's not too difficult but any advise so as...
As an update - it occurs to me that when bottling with a PET I squeeze the air out before putting the cap on which clearly can't be done with a glass bottle!, so would that very small amount of air make the difference?
Been using the Brew monk for a few brews now but the mash seems very thick. A comment I posted here asked to check the dead space below the grain basket - I have measured that at 8 ltrs - which seems a lot.
So am I right in assuming that if the recipe calls for say 13 Ltrs of strike water I...
Final gravity was 1010, I mashed at 17L - the Brew Monk has about 3L space below the malt pipe so 15L is too low. Strike water was about 71c, ph was 5.25.
When you say which software - I assume you mean like Brewfather? I used this but being new I kind of followed the recipe instructions I was...
So it seems the kits - and my inexperience may be at fault. this is the third brew with ingredients from GEB. The first was not a kit but based on a recipe I was given with about 5.2 kg of grain and US-05 Yeast. This was my first A/G and it turned out fine, nice abv and good carbonation.
I then...
