I have been researching this recipe in anticipation of brewing something close. Although I am only an hour from the brewery it is tough to get a hold of as demand is so high. Anyone come across a recipe or more information on how it is brewed? The basics are: Irish Walker is an...

your primary fermentation will blanket the beer with carbon dioxide as long as you have a good stopper an airlock. So all that headspace is not really a risk.

Resurrection!!!

AT/M light on but NOT pushed for more than 3 seconds (that enters and exits autotune mode - which calculates your PID settings). So if you press the <</M button one time and the AT/M light turns ON your are done. Now you are in manual mode of operation. See manual...

To do that you: You have to press and hold the <</M button to switch modes back and forth. Still may have to push the set button to display the percentage - otherwise it will still display a temperature set point. Not sure why it would display a temp set point in manual mode but I know there...

You can turn off PID mode and put it in standard on/off mode. You are essentially turning on and off power to you kegerator hundreds of times a minute... The compressor will hate you for this and eventually fail.

What sucks is the local 201 Central store has about a dozen bottles of Cascade (cranberry and Figaro). But those phuckers are $30 and $35 a bottle!

But do you pitch the entire cold crashed slurry (including the old/dead/weak/junk cells? I recommend that on that 3rd starter where you see a krausen you pour the liquid ONLY into a 4th starter of 1.040 wort leaving the gunk on the bottom behind. Now you have isolated good cells for your future...

Bastage!!!

Some folks have carbonated to 2.0 volumes (closer to stout range). others have shot for typical sour beer range (3.5-4). The beer is bottled by The Bruery in thick walled bottles that could withstand high carbonation. I could not find the exact carbonation details floating around the interweb...

CHIcompany.net also has amazing prices on this line. Either them or Birdman are spot on! Just don't buy it all before I get the $$$ for mine next week...

Wow - never saw the calculator as a webpage - very cool. Thanks again for all your assistance. Now to get my N2 rig mounted on the wall behind my keezer! I can already taste the Guinness Clone!

Also - found another of your posts discussing McDantim's Gas Blend calculator (a spreadsheet file that I downloaded). If I understand it correctly, a beer at 36F, pushed with 30 psi of beer gas, with 1.2 vols of CO2 dissolved at sea level and 6% ABV would require a 27% CO2 / 73% nitrogen beer...

JuanMoore - question on this topic. I have a pair of Perlick 664B manual gas blenders. The instructions say to set the CO2 and the Nitrogen primary regulators at 40psi and then adjust to set the gas ratio. This blended supply is then fed to a secondary regulator. If a stout faucet is best...

It does hit a tad higher than calculated in gravity and comes out a bit darker than other brands - this is from my experience with three bags of Avangard Pilsen.

OK - adding JuanMoore's thoughts and Day Trippers into one: Make the first 3 taps each have 33 ft of line (total one 100ft spool). That limits me to serving a 3.0 vol beer (16 psi at 36F). Set tap 4 at 50 feet (25 psi at 26F) - 4 vols which can cover about any beer within reason. Tap 5 is...

EDIT - hadn't read JuanMoore's post yet - he answered my Stout question. Thank you, Sir! Don't get me wrong - I do have lots of screws loose according to my Wife, but I am not intending all five to be full 4.0 vol at 36F taps. Only 1. I will probably put 25 ft on tap 1, 25 ft on tap 2, 35...

OK - so to recap I understand all the info that JuanMoore provided (thank you). I have an 11 keg keezer with 5 taps. It has 2 nitrogen mixers and four secondary regulators. I am building it to essentially allow me to brew and dispense whatever I want (from 4.0 vol lambics down to 1.5 vol...

Is the Bev-Seal Ultra a 2.0 psi per foot or a 0.45 psi per foot pressure drop? I have heard conflicting answers to this question. For an 11.5 psi system with 5 psi target dispensing pressure, .5 psi of vertical drop and 3 psi shank/tap drop the line would need to balance 3 psi. This puts...

He be trolling... LOL
