The 7,5 beer that I have, is that too little to carbonate in a 18 liter keg? Also does it really matter whether I force carbonate it with my CO2 tank or set-and-forget?

Is this for real? That's crazy

Beer usually is in green or amber glass so the UV radiation won't affect the taste. Ok, so some beers are still bottled in clear glass bottles like SOL -drink. Just because it looks good even though it is (I dunno) UV-sensitive due to the clear glass?

Okay, so next batch I'll try 1,25g for my 7,5 liters. We don't have Wallmarts (European here :)) but same products different stores. I saw Dr. Oetker having gelatin in our stores and it'd be 1,25g for my 7,5 liter batch. Spunding valve is the same thing as blow tie? I just kept the airlock on...

My batches are minimal because I don't a mashing kettle with a volume larger than ten liters. Cold crashing would help with maximizing the amount of beer gained (assuming there will be some yeasty beer at the beginning)?

Clear beer sounds good to me and it's always good to learn some new stuff. I googled and heard that doing cold crash at 43f for 3-5 days, only at that temperature, would be better instead of doing everything the way I mentioned. Would it? I'm cold crashing wheat beer. I originally didn't know...

Would cold crashing at 6c (43 fahrenheit) be low enough? How long should I coldcrash? I'm using a cold room that is used by everyone and nobody shouldn't... adjust the temperature. I was thinking about having my fermzilla at 6c for 2-3 days and then bring it outside on Friday or Saturday for...

How does this setup work? So I 1) BIAB to make my wort, 2) cool it down, 3) siphon to fermzilla, 4) add the yeast, 5) close the lid and 6) add the air lock. Alright. But I have the equipment for beer fermentation under pressure but now much idea on how to do it. I'll try it in the next batch. I...

I should have ABS-filament or at least basic PLA if it's any good. If you don't mind once I get my 3d part printed, I'll find some glues and ask you if they're any good? Although I might be able to pick one with that advice alone.

What would be a good glue for a plastic brewer equipment? I have a fermzilla and I f'd up the spiral of the plastic lid when tightening a carbonation cap ball lock too tight. So I bought a new lid and made new spirals for the old lid. Now I need to glue the 3d-print with the fermzilla lid. Glue...

So say it's 28 liters that the fermenter can fill, 8 liters of wort... ((28-8) / 8 ) * 100 = 250% really?

How much does the headspace affect beer taste? I've been trying to ferment 7-14 liters of wort in a 25-30 liter plastic fermenter. I thought the off-flavor came from not doing a close transfer to a keg (for carbonation) but now I'm thinking it's that one and the high headspace. How is headspace...

Can Star San be used with Fermzilla?

It's a basic plastic fermentator bucket. Similar to the one in the video, but without a tap (tap I need to drill and install myself). It can hold a little bit pressure but not much.

What's the best closed beer transfer method from a plastic fermenter to a keg? Is there a video format version to demonstrate it (non-native eng speaker here)? This was something that I was going to do for my next batch, but a fellow homebrewtalk member said it wasn't enough. 🙁

I'm waiting for my mind to blow up in that side of the forum. 😅

What do you think of this transfer? If that's what I go for in my next batch, I need to invest in bouncer inline filter and pvc-tap (and drill & rubber seal it to my fermenter bin).

The first one was what I ment. Two weeks it is then, thanks. 7:50 Do I have to do that before racking? I sure didn't. I just cleaned the keg, siphoned in the beer through filter, attached the gas, noticed four hours late it wasn't attached properly. This time I try to succeed with my beer...

How long would you guys carbonate witbier in a keg?

I went with the iTap. The thing is that the opening of the bottle has to be 14-22 millimeters and height at least 22cm. Too many requirements. iTap as far as I know has less.
