So the numbers suggested in the original post in the thread should be cut in half? Both the calcium and acid malt? I never went down the brewing water hole far, yet!

Hi folks! i bottled a pale style beer a few days ago that was fermented with 34/70 at about 59f. In the pass alot of my beer went in the kegs but this batch i bottled. I was thinking of letting it ride at about 59f in the bottles as well. It will be over 4 weeks before i will be able to test...

Just a little update: I've since made 4 batches. The first 3 were has follows; (The forth was more of a blonde ale using lallemand VOSS's, superfast!) 10# 2-row, 1# Vienna and 3oz of hallertau(1.7AA) for 60min I used krispy, lutra and 34/70 Krispy and lutra started out at 68f ambient but i...

Thanks i'm sure i will have a look sometime. I enjoy working with pumps and tubing. Could be my major project next year! For me. lol I couldn't help myself. What kind of pump is it? and the tubing looks like it has a very large ID - the clear one coming from the co2 tank. Double edit: I...

What and how much do you use to prime the keg.

Thanks guys. I've rocked and rolled many kegs :) just trying to refine my process and i spend extended times away from home so i was looking for a solution that i can quickly carbonate a beer that can be sitting in the carboy for 4+ weeks. I've have some of my best beer sitting in a carboy for...

Old thread. But does this thing work well?

I will be trying this method next batch. https://escarpmentlabs.com/blogs/resources/the-forced-diacetyl-test Its interesting.

I see. I'm going to try 7-8 grams for 5 gals. I will be adding it about 24 hours after i place the carboy in my very cold fridge. 2c or so. Have you tried biofine clear?

When did you add the gelatin? How much did you use?

Thanks. I might look into it. I have a pack of dried lutra coming as well.

In a similar vein Bräu Supply as a really nice looking unit, pricey however. Clawhammer supply as well but the basket holders look to be a 2 man job to setup. However, I've had my grainfather a longtime now, i have the one with the original controller. I made well over 100 batches in that...

Hassle is relative. :D My basement is about 62f now so it would be a hassle to ferment and carry it upstairs in room temp.

How long did you ferment for? And did you do a Diacetyl rest?

The grainfather is easy to use. They even sell a 220V now.
