    Rescuing a beer with ZERO head retention?

    No, no brewing sugar used.

    Rescuing a beer with ZERO head retention?

    1kg of mango chunks added. I think it feels a little thinner because of it. In conjunction with the large amount of oats I added, I may try the beer again with less oats and no mango addition, and work from there. Flavour wise I think I'm on the right track so just need to work on refining it.

    Rescuing a beer with ZERO head retention?

    30% oats (50/50 malted and flaked) may not have helped then! I didnt have any wheat on hand so will definitely look at changing that for the next one.

    Rescuing a beer with ZERO head retention?

    Is there anything I can add to the keg to improve head retention of an already brewed beer? It's a NEIPA, a style I'm just starting to experiment with. Aroma and flavour are great but the head retention is literally non existent, like cider. Carbonation is fine, pours with a head of large...

    CO2 purging barrels/cornys. How do you do it?

    CO2 purging barrels/cornys. How do you do it?

    Most of mine are slightly angled so they sit just above the bottom of the keg, so there is always a bit left over. I will maybe do a test purge and try shaking it around to see how much is left.

    CO2 purging barrels/cornys. How do you do it?

    I am just about to do my first closed transfer and stumbled upon this old thread! I want to do Method 2, where I purge the StarSan out of the keg, but is it really not an issue that you will be leaving some of the sanitiser behind in the keg? I know it is 'no-rinse' but my kegs once empty will...

    Fermzilla All Rounder Question

    OP here. Rather than make a new thread, just a quick question. I'm 9 days into fermentation. Tried to take a gravity reading from liquid post, but seems my dip tube/ball lock has immediately clogged with the dry hops floating around (note to self, get a filter on the end of the dip tube next...

    Serving corny keg in commercial system

    Yeah, your right, I just asked him to send some pics and he's got 3/8 push fits into the Sankey coupler. Easy then! I should have asked him first, I assumed it was the screw on type like above! Thanks

    Serving corny keg in commercial system

    Hi all, I'm taking a corny keg up to a mate's house where he has a commercial system fitted with sankey couplers. I am trying to find out the easiest way to serve my corny keg on his system without having to cut his lines or cause too much hassle. I keep coming across the following - Female...

    Calculating gravity change for fruit additions?

    Thanks, very detailed explanation. I do still have the packaging, 13.3g per 100g, so I have calculated (in 20L) this should be worth an additional 2.55 gravity points. Will need to save this somewhere so I don't foget! Very helpful!

    Calculating gravity change for fruit additions?

    Wondering if any smart people out there could point me towards some info on this.... I've added 1kg of frozen mango chunks to my primary about 7 days in. I can see that this has kicked fermentaion off again. So my question is how do I go about calculating how many gravity points I have added...

    Fermzilla All Rounder Question

    Well I seem to have opened a can of worms here! I am already aware of the advice on not using a PRV as a spunding valve so would never have gone down this route. For now, I have got the batch ferementing at room temperature out of my ferementation fridge. Once fermentation is finished I am...

    Fermzilla All Rounder Question

    Hahaha, the preview I got on my phone for this did not show your text! I had no idea how the subject of this thread had turned so quickly!

    Fermzilla All Rounder Question

    Yeah, using the new shorter disconnects with built in duotight. Already have the stand inverted also. That threaded bulkhead looks interesting though, cheers. Is 1/4" the right size for the Fermzilla, I am just trying to find that info online now (suppose I could measure it!!)

    Fermzilla All Rounder Question

    I recently got the 30L version of the all rounder and am about to give my first brew a go which will be a NEIPA. I have struggled with this style before as I believe with the amount of dry hopping I have always introduced some oxygen that the beer could have done without. My issue - The All...

    Equipment For Sale Peco Digital Mashing Bin + False Bottom & Colander

    Hi all, Have been trying to shift a Peco Digital Mashing Bin, plus false bottom and colander, for BIAB brewing. I don't think the Facebook alogirthm is treating me well as it's picking up next to no views on Marketplace. If anyone is interested, please let me know. Ideally it would be for pick...

    Fermzilla 30L allrounder

    It is very tight, I have got 513mm between my shelf and the top of the fridge. With the stand upside down, the measurement to the top of the posts is apparently 507mm. I did not think of tilting though, and those disconnects look really useful! I think I will take the plunge and see if it...
