Alrighty, reporting back. Went ahead and added hops 3 days after having poured the cooled malt syrup. Noticed this made it revive a bit, it went on to bubble a bit more vivaciously. Gave it another 4.5 days, racked at some 1 bubble per 10+ minutes & carbonated: Not bad! It could have been a...

Hey, first time @ beer making here. So then I guess this is regular behaviour for this yeast ? It will be 3 days in about 8 hours from now and this thing is awfully anemic, bubbling once per 1 - 1.5 minutes. Fastest rate was still an anemic bubble per 8 seconds. I think it will be done really...

Anyone tried the avocado kernels instead of hops ? Thanks

Weigheted it at 16.5 kg with regulator assembly attached, tare weight 15.1 or 15.4 kg, i can't make it for sure. So yes, the thing is empty.

my main concern here is that spigot on top of the cylinder... maybe the regulator went bad and the cylinder can not be closed any longer 😦. i don't think it should have gone empty so fast... Weighing it - yes, if I can find such markings and if I estimate the regulator's weight correctly- i am...

It's in a warm cellar, and the regulator has always indicated 25+ bar pressure inside the cylinder. Also, increasing keg pressure via regulator dial does nothing. I have not attempted to decrease it because it is already lowish.

Hello, I left it a couple months ago on around 2 bar; couple of days ago pressure was 1.2 bar inside the keg and 0 inside the cylinder. I have also noticed cylinder spigot mostly tripping; when pressed down a bit it would feel normal again in its rotation motions. This is a ~ 10 kg (22 lb)...

The low pressure gauge did not drop over a couple of hours. After that couple of hours the regulator's other end got closed as well (line to keg). After another 16 - 20 hours: cider barely got any sting to it. It would come out of the keg alright through the tap and CO2 audibly replaced the...

I'll give that a try next time as well

it was loud, constant , uhm... overfart sound. Are we talking about the washer between tank and pressure regulator ? Never separated tank from pressure regulator in 3 years.. I am a slow drinker. Never caught "wind" of it. Aside from this incident, i can only hear gas hissing inside the...

It was loud, what do you mean quick noise ? Gonna check next inspection date stamped on it when I get to the country side. I think it is well below expiry date.

Hey, As I turned the spigot at the CO2 tank I have been using for 3 years without problems (10 kg-ish tank), I heard this very loud noise made by pressurized gas escaping through somewhere, then immediately closed the spigot. I am inclined to believe that it was the release valve on the...

Around 300g / 10.5oz of sugar. Ok, sorry, it was the relief valve that I meant to say. There is no check valve in my setup. So, the PRV on the regulator should prevent pressure build up above 3 bar in the keg if I am reading this right. As for the bottle in the fridge, it was from the same keg...

Oh my.... ok, I have got more questions. I am a bit worried. I have filled a 2 liter bottle brimful a couple of days ago and put it to the fridge at 36F. Still no fizz to the taste bud. And to the worry: The cider + sugar is sitting in a commercial 50 liters (13.2 gallons) keg. I do not know...
