So I've had a milk stout I recently kegged on gas at 20psi for well over 24 hours. I just drew a bit to taste and it's flat as a pancake. Check the regulator on CO2 and it's still in the green.
Do stouts take longer to carbonate?
Nooo....not purging WITH oxygen, purging OF oxygen. Thought that was clear.
Keg gets filled with beer, sealed, put on CO2 and then head of oxygen is then purged through purge valve.
So my usual method to purge my corny keg is as follows...
Sanitize keg with Star San solution, empty keg
Place liquid and gas connectors in place
Fill keg with beer from fermenter
Place lid on and lock
Dial in carbonation PSI
Purge heads pace of oxygen with purge valve
I've read of ways to do...
Currently fermenting a milk stout in a conical fermenter. My question is, once primary fermentation is complete, is there an advantage to rack to a secondary or just age in the keg?
I'm fermenting a Left Hand Milk Stout clone and once I transfer it to the keg, I'm not certain what psi it should be at for carbonation. I don't have a nitrogen setup, just straight CO2
I lost my mind and stirred the F out of my wort after pitching in the yeast. I've read that's a no no as the yeast get pissed.
Did I just screw up this batch?
I'm brewing up a Left Hand Milk Stout clone tomorrow and had a question about the adjuncts. It calls for flaked barley and flaked oats......do I add them whole to the mash or do I crush them in my mill along with the grains?
I just threw my 5gal of IPA on the gas yesterday 37 degrees at 20psi. When I decide to back off the psi to serving pressure, do I just dial it down and start serving or do I need to purge the keg, then dial up to serving pressure?
