Take a look at this link: https://tetech.com/product-category/liquid-coolers/ I just found that, i still need to figure out if this can be use to cool liquid from room temp to drink temp instantly. I guess if you go high enough in power/watts it can be done. At least you can take inspiration...

I was looking for something to cool beer from a keg last week, so I made a few call to see what was available. I ended up cooling the keg by putting it outside cause it was a few deg over 0c where I was this weekends. At first I was about to rent a setup called a "picnic" (thats how its called...

Heres pic (sorry, i was on my laptop for previous post, didnt had access...):

Guess I'll be #1154, or there still something i dont get about hydrometers. I tryied to measure the first sample from the keg to have an idea of FG, but the hydrometer didnt float at all. IDK, maybe i'm not using the right size of cylinder? So I did transfer the beer to the keg, pluged the...

By looking at it, the lock on my keg is pretty much like this one in the video: I just got home from buying co2 and all. I'll test the coupler in a minute to make sure it fit. Both guys i talked to, the store owner and the guy who sold me the keg (he work at a local microbrewery), they both...

Got my keg !!! :) It is a standard north-american ball lock, i still need to figure how to open it so i can fill using a syphon i'm going to build with that: I'll follow the plan i posted a link to earlier. Tomorrow morning i'll get a co2 tank with coupler and faucet, so i think i'll be...

Good news, I just got myself a 50L empty keg, so I thinks theres will be no bottling this time. I still need to find a CO2 tank and the coupler/faucet system. I'll get the keg tomorrow, so new plan is to fill the keg tomorrow (tuesday) evening, so primary fermentation will have gone for 1 full...

Does this "procedure" make any sense??? :confused:

I didn't had time to bottle today, but i'm still going to take an SG reading tonight, the first one in fact. So if tomorrow I take another reading, and let's say it's stable and both reading are around 1.006, what is stated as supposed FG in the Coopers kit instructions, can I then bottle...

So i guess all those bags in the back are malted grain then. He really seems to have lots of choice. Next time i'll try doing my own mash...

:) That's where I got my kit, and I went there yesterday to buy caps and the hydrometer

I want to bottle 2-3 cases of 24 bottles for next friday night, maybe saturday if its really not ready in 5 days. This would be about half of the 46L that site in the demijohn right now. Beleive me, i will probably do it that fast only this time cause I'm in a hurry to get something ready. In...

Merci à tous! thanks! Btw, Unibroue has started in Quebec, I think it was in Chambly. If i'm not mistaking, I think they became popular by winning a prize for their "Blanche de Chambly". But something like 10 years ago, Unibroue was bought by Sleeman, and then a few years later Sleeman was...

Flocculation: (wikipedia) Flocculation refers to the rate at which yeast settles to the bottom of the fermentation vessel. Yeast strains with higher flocculation will settle out of the beer faster once fermentation is complete. so, if coppers yeast flocculate fast, i may be able to bottle...

Wait, I want to make sure I understand what your saying, sorry i'm new to terms like "flocculate"... BTW, i got a deal a few weeks ago on demijohn and it was all i got avilable when i started the brew... but if someone near montreal want to trade 1-2 demijohn for smaller bottle, I really need...
