After giving the beer a little longer to clear it has now turned into an excellent beer. I accidently vented it a little as i have a 15psi PRV installed and it seems to have released some of the sulpher aroma. I would say there is more of a subtle hop aroma in the beer than i am used to, hardly...

Beer has cleared a little more but there is a very faint smell of sulphur. My friend cant notice it but i am sure its there. I set my spunding valve to 15psi from the start. What do other people do with their lagers.

Some posts just leak. Sometimes hard to know why. Its a good idea to have spares and not get the posts mixed up if your cleaning multiple kegs.

I will look into super F. Not sure if it's available to me in the UK in small amounts.

It's definitely clearing now but seems slow. Beer on the left is pressure fermented and 48 hours after adding isinglass. Beer on the right has been kegged for weeks but it's generally close to that when I syphon it from the bucket. I can generally see to the bottom but inevitably pick up some...

What is super F? Not had any commercial NZ pilsner but made a few of my own and it's a really tasty style.

Finally got around to doing it today. I couldn't find the gelatin so had to use isinglass so fingers crossed. Gave it a good shake this time so it's nicely mixed. Do you normally suck up a lot of yeast with the first pour? It would make sense as the sample was murkier than the rest of it looked.

Thanks i think you have shone a bit of light on the problem. I cold crashed for 3 days so beer was plenty cold but i added the gelatine from the gas post via a bottle and carb cap. At the time i didn't think it would do much but i didn't think to shake it. I will give it a go again later and see...

I recently bought a chubby to have a go at pressure fermenting. I added gelatin last week but it's done very little. Beer is still cloudy and undrinkable. I normally use isinglass and it clears in a few days but I was thinking gelatin would be easier in a closed transfer. Does anyone use...

What is the jp you are referring to?

I picked up 4 23L pet carboys for a quid each.

Been using Mangrove Jacks Bohemian for many generations and i love that. I also use wyeast 2278 (czech lager), wyeast 2007 (American lager) and White labs Mexican lager and i really struggle to notice the difference cold fermenting. I would use 2278 though to be more authentic for your recipe...

My recipie is on post 10 of this thread . Others hop schedules there too. Was very happy with it, definitely brew it again at some point.

Red-x does not require a step mash in my experience. Had great results with 90% red-x, 5% cara red and 5% biscuit. Friends went nuts for it.

As far as i know you will need a carbonation cap to attatch the spunding valve. Height in Stand - 21.7" · Height w/ Airlock - 24.2" Might have to add a bit more for the blowtie.

Funny enough i watched your video last week as i am already subbed. Fascinating stuff. Cheers.

When I do a 54l batch I use 30l in the mash and spare with 42l. No issues with astringency. Might be worth trying a full volume mash or and RO water.

Sorry i thought i had replied. In that case i will order some from ebay and mix up my own. Thanks Tom for your help.

My last pint of lager before the keg kicked.

I would like to mix up my own KCL solution as it is expensive and would like to save money. Is it just potassium chloride and water?
