Pilsner

Hey guys, so my pilsner kit is done and tasting great! The flavor is good but i was wondering if i could dry hop a kit to make a bolder taste? Is that something that anyone has tried? Cheers 🍻

https://www.geterbrewed.com/beer-kits/brewferm-beer-kits/ Brewferm kits are usually 15/20liters depending on the style of beer. Great kits in my opinion! I dont mind the 200ml i use to check the gravity with a hydrometer. I only check twice usually, at the start and end of fermentation. Always...

For some reason, it also says it makes 15 litres of beer but the actual instructions add up to 14 litres of beer. In my experience i loose about 3 quarters of a litre to checking the S.G and a bit from not being able to siphon the last bit out… Cant wait to get to BIAB grain brewing 🤣

Yeah that technique makes sense. Cant believe there is no warning on the kit…. Im moving into biab brewing now but just getting through these few kits i have… Here in europe they are quite popular, its much cheaper than pints in the pub or in the shops. I like the kits they are super easy and...

Hey guys, So this is just to rant slightly and to see if anyone had the same thoughts on a small problem i ran into… The instructions (and common sense) say to warm the can of liquid extract in warm water to increase the viscosity of the extract. Fine. But has anybody had a problem with the...

I mean i rinsed them in the boiling water shaking it out vigorously… Cooled down quick enough. All bottled now and the pilsner is in the hands of god 🤣

I can order starsan but i need to bottle now. I am set up and prepped. Bottles were boiled for about 30 mins very hot! Rinsed well and let to dry. If there is a small amount of moisture in the bottles is that ok? Also, i mentioned the bottles were soaked in sodium carbonate for at least an...

Legend! Thanks aot! I do like a fizzy beer, and this being a pilsner i would defo like a sparkle!

Thanks dude! Can you explain what the volumes of co2 means in layman terms? Is that the carbonation i am aiming for?

So is the online calculator not to be trusted? Or the kit instructions? I have 20l of pilsner at 20c going into bottles.

Just about to bottle some pilsner and need advice. The sheet instructions say to add 7g per litre when bottling, that would be 140g. But the online calculator says i would only need 91g in total… big difference there 🤷‍♂️ Also, is there a big difference in using yellow sugar as opposed to...

So the bottles are very very clean. I opted to boiling them in water in my 50l kettle. 37 bottles fit in there so works out pretty much perfect. Only downside is i will have to wait quite a while for the bottles to cool down and dry. Might get another brew on in the mean time 🍻

Good to know i will definitely pick some up when i can👍 Sanitizer yes, still getting to grips with all the terminology

Would you recommend starsan as the number one for sterilisation? I have seen its very common for brewers to use. Is it a no rinse product? If so i will order a bucket load of it for the amount of time it will save me 😂

Cheeky update on that yorkshire bitter i did. Couldnt help it, very proud of this one hahaha! Cheers all you legends!

Hey lizard! Yep, glass brown bottles. I dont use a brush as I literally rinse several times after pouring and then dry and store. No particles left inside. I do rinse several times with hot water but this time i noticed a powdery residue. The bottles are very clean, i think i will go old...

Thanks mate i will enquire about that next time im in town 👍

We shall see i guess. I will double wash them with super hot water tomorrow and rinse them thoroughly and then rinse again 🤣 thanks for the input

I thought what i had was a sanitizer but apparently its just a cleaner… as i said i have to bottle tomorrow. If the bottles are very very clean but not technically sterilized whats the chances i run into contamination?
