Just noticed I'm nearly out of gas again :-( I rent a size D 6.8Kg cylinder and checking my records I last swapped it 1 Feburary this year so about 6 months ago so I guess not bad I lost count of the number of kegs carbed etc. I might take note next time. Also using it to push sanitiser etc...

+6G or Motueka hoped pale ale. = 5869

"Don't be disgusting!"

then belched loudly

With those quick carb setups i would be really worried about purging all air out of the lines, keg and pump although if done right a quick way to get the co2 into the beer. My beer is normally left in the fermenter about two weeks then i do 30psi for 1 to 2 days then set to serving preassure...

Looking at the grain bill i wouldn't be too worried about the mix. The batches may differ a bit though. You could almost treat one batch as pale malt and add grains to make a darker beer if you don't want all batches the same. I'm sure as is even with poor mixing they won't be too bad, just...

Had some feedback on this beer. My Dad tried it when he visited the other week and asked for half a dozen to take to share with his friends as he thought it was good (gave him a dozen). And he dropped off two dozen at my brothers place that they just moved in to(sent him it as a house warming...

The coopers fermenter kit i started with was setup to take the wand directly. Works ok apart from tilting to get the rest out. The main difference is you have to hold the bottle while it fills. For me due to my current setup and bad knee i prefer to sit on a chair and hold bottles rather...

I have seen ballock posts with 3 different thread types available so just a matter of getting the right one. I have old coke kegs with ball locks fitted and the thread is different to the some of my more modern kegs. Close enough you could trash the threads by forcing so be careful and get the...

Realistically if you have bottles upside down on a bottle tree or fastrack for a short time and they dry the likely hood of something getting them is probably quite low depending on your enviroment. I use to sanitise bottles as i bottled but it find it faster to sanitise 12 or 24 330ml and put...

Dusted his face

I had to play with it the first time to get it making sense. I think it was the yeast date being empty by default confused it but it could have been something else.

The split batch seams to rule out anything hot side related. Another thought given the stella are you on any medication and had a change as there are definitly medications that can effect taste and smell.

You must be doing something wrong because it told me 1 packet for a 3L starter for my belgian tripel. Maybe yeast date or something not right.

If the panel works but switching on a 120v load trips the gfci either the load has a earth fault( leakage to earth) or its not returning current to neutral but instead earth. Something miss wired mixing neutral and earth to the panel might work for 240V loads but significant 120V loads cauld...

Its a good idea to cover the fermentor with something dark if there is strong sunlight there as most fermenters let quite a bit of light through which isnt great unless you like skunked beer. For batches i did in my kitchen i always chucked a towel over the fermenter to be safe as i get lots of...

I was thinking cyanide or chlorine...

You can add more wort or cold crash and decant most the wort and add more fresh wort if you want to up the cell count. If its healthey and clean i don't see any issue leaving it on the stir plate but you could put it in your fridge to cold crash and store till ready if you are worried. If...

Co2 in beer in the fermentor becomes really obvious when you make a starter and shake it. Lots of co2 comes out of solution so it will be in the main beer batch too.
