Greetings from Finland! I mostly use Finnish homebrewshops, but I have also used the Swedish humle.se and amazon.se. Nothing bad to say about any of them - except the most prominent LHBS in Helsinki stores their hops in room temperature and their hops should be therefore avoided. They use...

I bought this equipment. One extra reason was that I realized I could also make home-made sparkling lemonade out of fruits, and clone a few of my favorite sparkling waters (San Pellegrino etc) with this equpment. I also tried making lemonade using lemons, sugar and water and carbonating it in...

Interesting idea. Unfortunately adding the carbonating sugar eliminates the idea behind this - having less alcohol and less yeast in the bottle. If I used pressurized fermentation this might work.

Nice! I totally see your point! After reading your post, I might end up doing all 3 methods - except for kegging would be limited to hosting a party or some other special occasion, as I don't want to keep the stuff in our apartment all the time. I feel you. I share quite a big portion of my...

Ok, never thought of that! This is exactly the kind of input I was hoping for before making any investments. Thanks! I thought the proposed bottling method would store better because of the "closed system", but this would indeed change that! Do you know why bottles stored unrefrigerated store...

Ok! This is similar to what I've been planning sans the carbonation part. I'd like hear if this has helped them with limiting oxidation. I also wonder what keeps them bottle conditioning even when they are already using co2, beergun etc. 🤔

Thanks for the thoughts! The Ferminator can hold 3-4 kegs, so there should be enough space. The Ferminator I'm talking about: Ferminator Basic - Get Er Brewed. I have 2 expansion modules. Burst carbonating is what I thought I'd do. I believe you are correct. I actually sometimes use spray...

Thx for quick answer! Yes, I was planning to use my Ferminator for this. It can cool my fermenter to about 3 C (38F), same should be true for a keg. The bottles wouldn't be cool though. A little bit of foam could be even useful, I think. That way headspace would be mostly co2 bubbles and I...

Hi all, I'd like to ask your advice on possible future investments. TL;DR: I'm planning on closed system bottling with force carbonation. Is this a good idea or waste of time and money? I'll give you a little bit of background. I live in an apartment where I simply cannot keep my equipment...
