Ah, that's a good idea. Is there also scope to put a T piece in between then two regulators allowing you to take a gas line off to another keg at a potentially (with another venting regulator) different PSI?

Hi All, I've a question regarding my CO2 regulator as I've recently started bottling from the keg using a Tapcooler. The regulator is this one: CO2 Regulator for Cornelius Keg - Love Brewing (although I got mine from The Malt Miller) And it's fine for normal use but in the Tapcooler...

Thanks all. @Zephyr259 are you saying 50g at the end is similar to 75 at the start? 75 at 60 sounds like a lot to me!

Hello all, I dry hopped my latest brew but didn't put a little filter bag on my syphon when racking into my corny. I didn't cold crash. There's noticeable hop matter when I pour - not lots but noticeable. Currently carbed to about 12PSI. I have another corny that I could transfer into from...

Hi All, Do any of you know of any info regarding the flavours imparted by the 60 minute/bittering hops? If they're boiling for that long do they only contribute a sensation of 'bitterness' rather than any discernible flavour(s)? Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere, I couldn't find the...

Hi All, I have a few friends from around the country that like my beer and want me to send it out to them to try. They want to pay P&P (as I can't afford to send it out to them otherwise) ...is that OK, or does it count as buying the beer from HMRC's POV? I suppose it's like a subscription? My...

That's a good point, but the theory is correct, right?

Hello all, I need a bit of a sanity check... I picked up a SS Brewtech Unitank largely for it's carbonation function but I now want to be a little more precise about my fermentation temp...but I don't want to shell out for a glycol chiller. Can anyone tell me if the following would fit the...

Very useful, thanks all!

Just depends on whether the fermentasaurus and a small heater fits in the chamber? I'm, not sure of the fermentasuarus dims and every fridge is a bit different. Inkbird takes up no room.

Do any of you have any recommendations for a more precise hydrometer than the one that came with my first kit? 0.080 to 1.150 isn't really cutting it when I'm only really interested between 1.000 and 1.070! Thanks in advance.

Picking up my brewkit today. Has been really responsive to enquiries and upfront re. delays with me 👍

No, I'm using both. I'm finding that if I set the freezer for 15C on the inkbird (+ a heater) it stays around that level and the fridge compartment is about 20-22C. If you leave the fridge door open overnight it also helps to bring it down a bit.

Sounds perfect to me - good luck!

Hi! It's impossible to work out your efficiency without knowing what the grain was, let alone its weight; do you have that info? I would have thought the Home Brew shop would tell you if you let them know you're trying to work out the efficiency of your system? 2 gravity points off is pretty...

Looks good. What's your intended batch size? Are you putting in more citra at the start or the end of the boil? Looks like you might be putting the 5g in at the start and the 7g in at the end but when you're reading recipes hop additions usually use the time *left* in the boil, so your...

I don't think you'd need to use anywhere near 400g for a Pale Ale, so that's a good start. Are you aiming for a North American Pale Ale? Those hops look like you are. I think that Azacca is a decent bittering hop at 60 mins, Maybe like 10-20g? maybe a bit more at 20 mins. Citra and Mosaic will...

Did you stir the mash a lot/more than usual? Apparently that adds to the cloudiness. Sediment settles out when I use my hydrometer too, but I think that much of it settles out during my fermentation. I don't mind my beer being cloudy though and so I never add finings, but that's down to the...

I just wanted to say that this has worked a treat. I've not tried to control the temp of the fridge compartment yet but the inkbird and heater is doing a great job in the freezer compartment. Thanks!

This is really useful, thanks! I'll give that set up a go!
