Has anyone tried using a 3kg laundry stand alone spin dryer to centrifuge filter finished wort? Perhaps you use a suitable stout plastic bag which can be closed or tied up? - maybe half filled? Does it work? Think Ive seen it used on mash BIAB bags?

Is this wifi or bluetooth ? BT surely it has a phone app? BTW AFAIK this wont work inside a stainless vessel

As pointed out , commercial carbonated cider is often sold in 2L 3L PET bottles. Carlsberg tried it in Sweden OBTW Aldi have launched Wine sold in PET bottles - actually these are flattened round shape, less space required and from recycled PET - rPET.

Paws a pint moment, do you not find that brewing opinionators are a mite precious? Consider the "quaff effect" in that Though you take a cautious sip-sniff and opine, then carry through with a manly throat-full. Have you not, by then, forgotten your reserves on quality as they now be...

Hmm is this why Beer and lager are not sold in PET bottles? shelf life and O2 permeation would make the product go sour ? How long would it take? Month, 6 months year? Sure the Industry must have figured this? ps it seems that 6 months should be ok but you must keep out of sunlight - in fact...

This is a recycling system thing - is it EU? my vessel is no P5 polypropylene recognised safe for food storage. It also has the food safety logo

This is a snug fitting clipped lid. What do you think is going to sneak in? Yes we know the air is full of floating microbes/viruses/spores/yeasts but wonderful thing about brewing is that once you have pitched your yeast, it rapidly takes over and multiplies and out strips any potential...

OOPS

Yes, followed up Alix on this it £9 for a 30L plastic jug and £60 for shipping. It does look the business. Nice wide neck to get your hand in for cleaning. As you say, tilt the jug back on a block so the trub collects away from the tap. Then tip forward when drawing finish brew. I LIKE...

I checked again and my box is labelled "food safe" BPA free, ok for dish washers and Im not pregnant (no beer belly) so I guess Im good for a few more years My mistake I came across a clear ABS plastic rectangular box tub Its definitely not ABS - you can smell the chemicals in that stuff...

The lid is a good flat fit. I guess I could make a flexible gasket, or just a smear of silicon grease, Its well made and the clips are sound. Its a ferment vessel and to allow venting of CO2. I wouldnt propose something that was obviously mickey mouse quality here remember here that most...

Ive been reading about conical ferment vessels $$$$$ and Trub forbid - pressure fermenting $$$$$$$$ - no way José I came across a clear ABS plastic rectangular box tub (used for Pantry storage) - well made with a tight clip lid ca 12"w x 12"l x 15"h good for ca 3gal 15L for $10. A deal...

Thnx 10 ^6 so its not my imagination as per my OP

Right on Bro - I understand now - that makes sense. Hence a good reason to make a proper starter with a small lab stirrer plate so as to get O2 in to hasten the multiplication process. Then pitch to wort FV and keep O2 out and let CO2 saturate. I have two dip tubes in my fermenter - one for...

thanx for correction Buddy

Thats an interesting point. We've all seen how Ale/bread yeast is top fermenting and is designed to go APE and produce CO2 big time in the first 30mins or so. Its what bakers want. Bottom fermenters are a different animal. AFAIK they still seem to go wild in the first few hours given right...

Yes-indeed that seems to be the wisdom Pitching? if using speciality dried yeast cant you just sprinkle the little packet on top of the wort - why do you need to mess with a starter? reasonable amount 1 tsp (5g)/gall(5L)? Special yeasts are normally 5g/pack Temp - room quality 75F +/- 5F...

AHA seems moribund and want your Subs $ up front. Their forum is archaic and not user friendly (ie no user/visitor data stats etc) and doesnt invite digging into earlier postings (no time filters). So I would like to follow the good guys but thats a common problem with forums is that the gold...

Reading and old post from 2023 - I didnt realise that some yeasts can be fussy. I dont mean about alc level - yes it has an upper limit I get that. What seems to be the case with commercial yeasts (nothing seems to affect standard bread yeast btw) is that they need the right starting...

Well Guys Ive sampled my Kvass. I made a traditional E European type from dark bread. My two neighbours are Hungarian and Romanian - lovely people. Brexit has been a total disaster - not a single benefit has accrued in 6 years but billions in economic loss 5L Nominal stovetop pot 4 slices...
