Think I know it's safe to do so, but have just the one Co2 tank and single output regulator, but 2 kegs Currently have an APA carbed and at serving pressure in fridge If I disconnect the keg and remove it from the fridge for a few days so I can keg and carb up another beer, will the APA be...

Screw it, dumped some citra in and will keg it Wednesday

In bucket a week, dry hopped on day 3 with 20g each citra, mosaic and galaxy Checked this morning and it has reached FG of 1009 Looks the part I think and smell and taste both good Advice on where to go now? Have some citra so can do more dry hopping? Or leave it another few days, although...

Dry hopped an NEIPA and ordered some citra to do another dry hop later in week Also ordered a Mosaic pale ale extract kit

Bottled a 1 gallon hoppy pale and did a 5 gallon extract NEIPA

2259 + 5 Gallons NEIPA = 2264

Excellent What did you brew?

PH meter, small funnel and bungs for 1 gallon carboys and some New England style yeast

I'll continue to try and eliminate the various potential causes but seeing as my extracts go ok I'm still convinced its something in my BIAB method I do need to improve how I use my yeast though so have liquid yeast coming and will attempt my first starter for next brew

Temp usually held pretty well, within a few degrees over the hour mash Water is a private well at my in laws so might end up getting a water test done at some stage Saying that I used bottled water for at least one of my bad batches

2 brews were full volume mashes, no sparging Had an experienced brewer taste a Citra SMASH I did and he couldn't identify the off taste, but agreed with me that it was downright awful 2nd one was an amber, was much more drinkable but still a hint of the off taste. One could easily finish a...

Good suggestion. First 2 BIABs have had bad off tastes which I think are either yeast or water related so trying to whittle down the suspects Other partials and extracts I've done turned out fine

Ordered a pH meter to finally start trying to understand mash pHs etc

Kegged my SN pale clone Happy with colour I think Had a slight off taste at first sip but diminished so think it could be a good one

Company emailed back with numbers etc so pleased with that. Had bought 2 1 gallon kits, did a BIAB of the one shown above as advised in thread but will follow the method they emailed with the other Thanks again

Quick update: Kegged on Sunday and put about 10 psi on it to let it carb a bit slower. Sample tonight. Slight hint of an off taste but nowhere near as bad, absolutely drinkable but I'd obviously like better than that. Have a feeling the posts about water treatment are in the right ball park but...

Brewed a 1 gallon AG kit, lots of hops so hopefully turn out well. Need to buy a smaller funnel mind, got a bit messy near the end

2041.5 + 1 gallon hoppy Pale ale 2042.5

Taste was very hard to describe, smelled a bit off but truly awful when tasted. I do no sparge BIABs but haven't checked PH levels etc. Think I'll start doing that though, always intended to but just getting back into brewing after a hiatus of a few years and worried about other parts of the...

Yeah, obviously could just be a bit of bad luck or bad prep as a one off but trying to make sure I don't let it happen each time I BIAB, shame to see ingredients and time go to waste
