Does anyone what strain of yeast comes in this kit? It's labeled as "6g Yeast Premium"

Crisp German Pilsen Malt Crushed and Perle hops please

Double Dancing Duck IPA please!

Hi. I'm not sure what you mean about the cooling fan and "hot swapping" the plugs. Can you explain a bit more why the fan is a problem and what you mean by got swapping the plugs? I gave this a go the other day as I suggested with my hob set no higher than 2.2kW and it seemed to work alright. I...

Hi. Jumping in in this old thread, I'd like to do this as I struggle to manually maintain a stable mash temp on my BIAB setup using the same buffalo induction hob. I always overshoot the temp when adding short bursts of heat. Do I just plug the induction hob into the heat side of my inkbird...

Over a year later... Do you still have these? 😁

Blimey! Making your own resin lid? That's dedication! I was thinking more along the lines of drilling a spare KK lid to put a bulkhead ball lock post in, and keeping the existing S30 valve to act as my PRV. What sort of pressure can a KK take? They seem massively overengineered in terms of wall...

In fact, thinking about it, you'd only need your gas in post as your beer out is your tap on the side with its floating dip tube

Hi. Great useful thread. Thanks for putting it together and helping us all. To take things a bit further, has anyone managed to adapt their king keg to accept standard corny keg disconnects? Maybe using a solid lid if it such a thing is available? I have two king keg top taps which I haven't...

Hi, did you ever get yourself sorted out with one of these? I'm looking at building a Clawhammer type system using one of the electric kettles they sell on the Malt Miller but this and the basket are the only bits that seem to be difficult to get hold of.

Well I do use Brew In A Bag method and I'm a self-confessed bag squeezer so maybe that's why I have a lot of rubbish going into my fermenter. Any tips on how I can reduce this? Thanks.

Thanks for your help everyone. Chuck this lot and try again I think!

Thanks. So maybe it's not trub. I thought that was a general term for the sediment (either in the kettle or the fermenter). Maybe it is all yeast (some live, some dead), but it certainly isn't stratifying nicely! :(

Do you mean swirling in the fermenter before decanting into jar or swirling before pouring from first jar in another? The jar pictured jar contains all the slurry from the fermenter after swirling, trub, yeast beer and all! Did I do this wrong?

Yes all for trying that as well, but just thought I'd try harvesting from trub. Perhaps with WLP002 being super flocculant it's not the best yeast to try it with?
