    They are replacing the Leffe tap thats hooked up to their beer engine. The kegs are in a cellar just below the bar and I think will be served at around 15 PSI

    supplying 30L kegs... Preparation?

    Im about to supply my local with a few 30liter kegs of my Pale Ale. They have been force carbed for about 3 days at 30psi and Im happy with carbonation levels. My question is, do I supply them purged of do I just leave them at 30 PSI? This is my first time supplying so any tips much appreciated...

    stalling at 1016

    What's the pitching rate: 80g for 160 liter What's the OG? 1042 What's the expected attenuation of the yeast? This strain rapidly attenuates fermentable sugars with typical wort falling from a gravity of 1040-1045 resulting in a beer of less than 1008. What's the size of the batch? 160 liter...

    Conditioning Temp

    Sounds like its fine, you could buy a little heater to bring up temps to around 20c which could help? Like you said, its happening but slowly... :thumb:

    stalling at 1016

    Hey All Ive been having issues with my fermentation targets. A number of my last brews are starling at around 1016 where Im aiming for at least 1012. Here are a few other details: 1) Mashing at 65-66 (strike 75c) 2) Adding 1tsp yeast Vit per 25 liter 3) Using MaltMiller Ale Yeast 2 (Which i...

    sterlising bottles

    At some point Id invest in some starsan, it doesn't need rinsing and saves a lot of messing around :thumb: http://www.the-home-brew-shop.co.uk/aca ... ozUByExqxc

    To fine or not to fine?

    Hey Mark, Im sure it wont hurt? I usually use Auxiliary finings for a day or two before adding isinglass? could also try gelatin? As its for Christmas Id just put it somewhere cold, I have mine outside as temps are around 1c which really helps drop it clear!

    Primary to secondary?

    Ive always siphoned as I find it easier to prevent getting any trub from the bottom of the primary. I guess at the end of the day as long as you don't splash and oxygen you can choose iether

    force carb gas in or beer out?

    Hey All Ive been reading up on force carbing and just realised I may have been doing it wrong for the past year? Ive always force carbed through Gas in but I now realise its better to go through the beer out? What is the correct way? What is the difference? :wha:

    force carbing 5 kegs + cleaning

    Its Pale Ale. Im not too worried about force carbonating, its more the setup I'm concerned about. So far it seems that I can just take my gas line and spilt it out 5 ways and carb all 5 kegs together. I got worried when i say some pretty complex setups but Im hoping I can keep it simple!

    force carbing 5 kegs + cleaning

    She cannae take it captain, it's gonna blow!!! I cant really prime with sugar as there is no storage under counter so once the keg is empty, a fresh one is wheeled in.. I need to get this beer as clear as possible to reduce sediment

    force carbing 5 kegs + cleaning

    Sorry, I should have mentioned the keg, they are 30L sanky S kegs like this: So the 3/8 3 way connector can be like this? Ill be force carbing them all the same so a simple setup will do! Many thanks

    force carbing 5 kegs + cleaning

    Me again :oops: Im just bought 5 x 30L kegs from Crusader and just need to pick your brains on setting up a system so I can: 1) Force Carb them all from one tank. What connectors would I need and how do i split the gas from 1 cylinder to 5 couplings? 2) Clean/sanitise them all at once...

    Plastic beer tap

    I've always found these hard to control and have had problems with foaming, even at a low psi. Ive been told that having some beer line between the keg and tap helps prevent it!
