I love butter bean soup. Cant remember the measurements but its something like this. 500g dried butter beans 3 large carrots sliced 4 medium yellow onions sliced roughly tin of chopped tomatoes squirt of tomato puree slug of olive oil spoon of chilli flakes salt and pepper Soak beans overnight...

If i have fresh wort the day i keg i pour all the yeast cake into a clean fermenter. Saves having to clean and sterilise a bottle and store it in the fridge.

I stopped making lager starters a long time ago. I pitch 3 packs of dried yeast (27l of 1040 wort) and reuse the slurry next time. I do this about five times and then use fresh yeast;

Should not be a problem as its common practice. How big a starter, whats your wort OG/ grist? What are you fermenting at?

That's not a pellicle. Looks like yeast.

I got this on the go today. Co pitched fermenting at 18c. Will let you know how it goes. Thanks for the advice.

Should i rack this to get it of the yeast?

I don't want this beer to sour as i have a lot aging already. I have made some nice red sours using 100% beersel blend and lacto and they had significant brett character after a month and quite drinkable. Happy to wait three months though if necessary. Problem is my garage will be getting cold...

Anyone have any advice? I have got my beersel blend so hopefully get this on soon.

Thank you i will see if i can track some down.

Thank you that would be very helpful.

My next purchase will probably be an electric chair. Still with electricity at 27p a kilowatt i probably wont be able to turn it on.

I know its an old post but would you have any idea what size seal i need for a SS carb cap? Somehow lost mine, tried one from a flip top bottle but that's useless. Searched but cant find anything. Cheers

Pressure fermenting would be good so you could drink it straight from the fermenter. Sounds like a nice drink!

I found the beersel blend to ferment out pretty fast. About a month to be drinkable, Worked well with verdant. My next project will be a brett lager.

I am going to try and make some bretted lagers and looking for advice. I recently made a no boil lager to which i added a started from my solera and it soured. Made a lovely beer but i didn't want it sour. Thought 20 IBU's might supress it but it didn't. Now i am trying to cultivate up some...

Nice one. This is pretty handy as well when you want to purge lines.

Finally. Set the keg to 15psi and the bottle to 30psi. Had to regas a few times but it works! Thanks again for your help.

Apologies for not replying, misplaced the jumper lead. I seem to have part way solved the problem. I have 6 plastic carb caps and when attached to plastic quick disconnects only 3 work. It looks like the pins in them are slightly lower then the working ones and they don't allow the gas or liquid...

I have not tried sugar but i can imagine it might taste a bit weird. One thing i might try next is reducing some apple juice to add to the glass. You can add fruit in the keg if you have something to contain it but i have found as the keg empties the flavour fades. Mrs has made blackberry...
