Excellent, cheers. Every day is a school day

Cool, makes sense. So if doing an ale what should I be doing? Use an airlock setup like normal at the start? And then switching to spunding valve near the end?

Cool Have seen videos of people applying various levels of Co2 to speed up fermentation and avoid esters etc, still trying to get head around it

Sorry if I'm missing something, I usually do, but am I letting the pressure build up naturally or applying it using Co2? Have the pressure kit and a spunding valve

Planning to use new acquired Fermzilla for first time next week for a partial APA Not used it before or done pressure fermentation and have tried to find out as much as possible online. Not trying to achieve anything in particular with regards to speeding up process or the like, more just get to...

Just out of interest, when does one generally start applying the pressure during fermentation? From beginning? A few days in? Reading different things and want to start fermenting under pressure soon. Am doing a partial APA next week and want to start using my Fermzilla properly

Cheers for answer I might pick one up to have alongside the Fermzilla, €39 so not too bad at all

Bought a 27 litre Fermzilla a few weeks back and hope to use it next week for first time. Got pressure kit too Must admit am looking forward to getting into using it, even if I have plenty to learn about pressure fermentation. Out of interest what is so good about the Fermonster? Value for money?

Over the last week I've received: 27l Fermzilla with insulation jacket Reverse osmosis filter Beverage to beverage line for closed transfer Submersible pump to reduce water wastage when chilling Several different liquid yeasts Some calcium chloride for my first foray into water treatment Waiting...

Got a basic water test last year. I realise these values can change over time but how does it stack up? I brew mainly hoppy pales and have never been totally happy with the results. Have spent the last few days trying to get my head around the water side of things but must admit am getting a bit...

Bottled an NEIPA kit and dry hopped an AG pale. Slight astringent taste off the pale but only a week in so hopefully clears up

BIAB pale ale first thing this morning, first in a year. Nearly went belly up, was using hop spider for first time but managed to spill them all into brew kettle and then they clogged up the kettle outlet. So got a sieve and turned kettle upside down to save the day. Hopefully no harm done

Cheers for your reply, makes sense When you say boil though, I assume you mean when I add the extract as I'm just adding those to 3 litres of boiling water and then topping up to 20 litres or so. Edit: got instructions from supplier so all good. Thanks

Hi, just purchased an NEIPA kit from an online store. https://www.geterbrewed.ie/neipa-beer-kit/ No instructions and contains the hop extract so not sure when to add it. Seen different opinions elsewhere online. Any help much appreciated

Alas nothing to report yet, 3 month old child in the house so no recent brew days. Hopefully ready to go again soon so will defitinely report results

:ban:

Right you are so

Long story short, have some AG mash kits for a few weeks and due to constraints, namely a 7 week old child, have not had a chance to brew. They've been stored at around 20c in a dark place, although they didn't come in completely sealed bags. It's been at least 3 weeks now too Dump or use...

Had strike water for a BIAB at 60c when the gas went, better than after I'd mashed in I suppose

Think stuff we get here is bottled in Ireland so bicarbs will be high
