most aquatic shops that sell marine fish will do a co2 topup service and 9/10 times it will be food grade co2

Sod it, I'll just get the co2 cap for the bulbs

don't have any of those stores here lol i'm in the UK. Ok so my regulator that fits onto the cylinder is a CGA320, will do some more googling and see if i can find any info. seems this is an industry standard fitting , as i thought but still no joy for a cap for my pressure barrel with the...

I think this fitment is a 3/4 inch bsp,,... I think if that helps

Anyone?

about to try another brew and plan to use co2 to carb it. I have a spare 220g cylinder which i use as a spare for my marine fish tank, it has food grade co2 in the bottle. Problem is the type of fitting? how can i adapt it for a s30 fitting? I was going to buy an s30 type valve...

may as well give it a go, as long as its drinkable and gets you pissed thats good enough for me haha

nearly pasteurized it all now, on the last case of 24, after this one i will have 72 bottles, not sure how i lost 20 bottles worth. Suppose you lose quite a bit leaving an inch or two at the bottom of each container when you crash it. Going to start thinking about my next batch to do now lol...

question: how can still cider taste like flat beer? since when does flat beer taste of apple's lmfao. went to cider festival the summer just gone , ALL of ciders were still and none tasted of flat beer. well made still cider is proper nice if not too nice ,very easy to get legless , lets just...

decided to start pasteurizing my cider , done a case of 24 bottles ,doing rest tomorrow. amazing how much it's cleared after another crash, almost has the colour of strongbow now. as there wasn't much carbonation don't think it will be a problem having bottle bombs. will probably keep a case...

since I want a still cider and it has a bit of fizz to it won't I need to allow it to de-gas first before bottling? it's now into its secondary container cold crashing for another 48 hrs , if I were to take out of fridge in couple of days and leave in same container at room temp I guess...

checked earlier, took a sample and looks and tastes a bit fizzy? i take it that means its into secondary fermenting stage? which means it must have been ready. Well its in the fridge now ,will transfer into barrel tomorrow after work then crash for another 48 hrs ,then bottle ready for...

around 22 deg c which is 71.6 f

well mine has just about finished fermenting, gravity now sits at 1.010 which makes the abv 7.2% taste tested and tastes good so time to cold crash :D I'm guessing the length of time of fermenting depends on alot of factors like ingredients,type of yeast, conditions i.e temperature. If i were...

my brew has been going like a steam train? only 3 days and OG has gone from 1.058 to 1.010!! in 3 days wtf! Anyway done a taste test and it still has a nice apple flavour little bit of fizz not too dry or too sweet so just about right, going by one of the online calculators makes the abv 7.2%...
