Here’s an award winning recipe from a local brewery nearby. You can scale to get the amount you need https://brewstock.com/beerrecipebook/englishturn

I read about check valves in the Manifolds that keep the liquids from traveling from keg to keg and into regulator. Is this a common problem?

The reason I ask is i only have 3 CO2 bottles/regulators but 5 kegs and was looking for a way to keep others carbonated until I can purchase more CO2 bottles and regulators. 😩.

That sounds logical…Well I guess there’s a point where the cold beer can’t absorb any more CO2 after fully saturated/carbonated and it stays until tapped. I know after putting 10 psi on the Keg it will be down to 3-5 psi in 2 days As it as absorbs the CO2. Perhaps what you said is what the local...

Well Google don’t seem to have an answer to this question. Spock might know 😂

Just trying to keep a layer of CO2 on it… Well when I visited some local craft brew bars the owner shows me a lot of kegs with no CO2 hooked up to them just sitting in a refrigerated trailer… Then comes the old time lagering theory of just letting beer sit in cold caves for many months. 🦕 I...

Twas wondering when most start carbonating their Brew after Kegging. I know about the "Set and forget & Force carbonating". After I keg, I put in kegerators and put 10 psi on it and disconnect CO2 then repeat maybe two days later. Just wondering if Brewers start carbonating right away or let...

They never mentioned returning it (yet) but it has a really bad ding like a bullet hit it. . Not sure if it’s structurally sound and trustworthy for use. I guess I could use it for a few spare parts if needed.

Thanks…New Keg should arrive tomorrow (hopefully in good shape) and I can transfer. thanx for all the replies as I’m better informed about this subject now. ‘Cheers !

Thanx…I feel a bit better about having to let it sit for awhile. It’s being kept cool at 55* in a stainless fermenter with pressure in airlock. thanks…I feel a bit better now about having to let it sit for awhile. It’s being kept cool at 55* in a stainless fermenter and still has pressure in...

I found that 24 days maybe ok from this link but I rarely go over 3 weeks. Mostly 16-19 days 4 me. https://www.mrbeer.com/blog/post/how-long-can-you-leave-your-homebrew-in-the-fermenter

Thanx… I know 3 weeks might be ok but then off flavors can result from staying on yeast to long.

I always rinse my keg and dip tube with hot water after sanitizing with Starsan then purge with CO2. Just don’t want anything else in the Keg but my Beer. (Ever rinse Starsan and look at it)? Just my personal opinion. Cheers !

How long do you let ur Beer sit on the yeast in Fermenter b4 transferring? I was planning on transferring to Keg after 16 days but Keg I ordered from MoreBeer came in damaged and might be another week or so before getting this matter straight.

Same here. I pay the ”Physical" Price" the next day after brewing 5 gallon batch. But after it’s in the Fermenter 5 hours later, I shower and go to bed. Save the brewpot scrubbing and thorough cleaning 2 days later. But I love to Brew and get my physical therapy while doing so. Cheers and hang...

Feel a little better about the 2nd pitch after reading this: Can I pitch yeast twice?

Well I just pitched the 2nd one. I feel better about doing it now. At least it was early on. Thanx 4 the advice Cheers.

Yea my Bad…that (good for 5 gallons on package threw me off). I know Lagers usually say double. Just wanted to know if it was too late Now that fermentation started. Just pitched it. Thanks.

Added 1 pack of WLP 830 to a 5.5 gallon well oxygenated Märzen/Lager at 54 degrees 38 hours ago. (Pack said good for 5 gallons). I have slow activity happening in air lock/bubbler now. After looking at the WLP calculator it says 2 packs. Was wonder if I should just wait and let it go now that...

Is anyone able to successfully order Liquid Yeast without it arriving hot (Even with Ice Packs) ? Our LHBS is usually out of Whitelabs and other LY). Once I ordered 85 miles away from my location with ice packs and both were 75 degrees. (It took 5 days for FedEx to deliver 85 miles away). If so...
