You could try fermenting under pressure. Supposedly it reduces the phenols and esters. Worth a try maybe, if you have the ability to

I know this is a bit late, but did you get it sorted? You know what it could be is it is actually undercarbonated to the pressure on the regulator, this can cause foam too. Sometimes people say it's carbed to 12 psi but they have to turn down the serving pressure to 8psi to pour without foam...

Have not heard back as to how you are going. Here are my thoughts/ observations. Make sure everything is sealed and tightened. I was having trouble with one of my Brite tanks shooting a blast of foam about 3 seconds into the pour. The problem could of been one of 2 things ( I fixed both at...

Is everything on the gun tightened, sounds like the gun could be the problem, and somehow it is creating the foaming issue. I don't use one so have no idea. How are you connecting to the Brite? From the sample port or the T/C bottom outlet? I use the 1/4" MFL T/C with a John guest fitting. Darryl

According to my calculations, using 30 grams (1.05 oz) of magnum pellets at 12.4%, you will get 30 ibus So.... Yes, looks about right to me

What is the aa% of the magnum

In a commercial Brite tank they have a way to apply head pressure directly to the top through the clean in place valve. For the SSBrewtech Brites we don't, and the only way is to have the CO2 go straight to the head by turning up the pressure this unfortunately scrubs aroma and volitile hop oils...

I have a cheap Chinese one, it is 1-25 litres per minute (too much), I need to get a smaller one, ideally your flow rate should be around 1-2 litres per minute or 2.5 scfh, so any in that smaller range (up to 5 scfh). Also get one with the dial/valve. The ones linked are perfect!

Here is a pour from my set up.

I hope everyone is having a good Christmas. Stay safe, and happy holidays. One thing I forgot is to do with your regulator, a good way of testing it's accuracy, and if you don't mind using a little bit of co2, is to in your empty Brite, close everything up and put your target carbonation...

I I hear you re the hours of frustration. At least we have the internet. I can't imagine trying to sort this out 30 yrs ago. In your scenario you would attach the grey gas to the normal gas post on the keg, fill the headspace to 1 psi below your target psi, then disconnect that gas and hook it...

One other thing to be aware of is that you can calibrate the thermastats probe on the ftss, so usually a glass of iced water. In the settings for the ftss is one labelled "CA" adjust accordingly to the freeze point. I have three, and one is -.5c, one is +.3c and the other is +.1c - so a bit of...

No problems. As for the flow metre it doesn't have to be anything flash, even the plastic ones will do. Obviously if you can afford something at the top end of the scale go for it. All it's doing is restricting flow, so just make sure you get one that will easily attach to your setup, be that a...

Sorry for bombarding this discussion. In Summary what i would do is... - fill Brite to your normal beer level with water - after a couple of days check the waters temp with the thermastats temp (beer temp) - turn on gas slowly to see when stone starts to bubble (wetting pressure) - turn...

Dirty... You should also never purge the headspace. If you think about it.... Say you have an equalised system sitting at 14psi, then you purge the headspace down to 4 to bottle/ sample, you now have beer at 14psi and headspace at 4, so obviously the CO2 rushes out of the beer into the...

No problem, another great tool to have is a CO2 flow meter, a device the goes between your gas regulator and carb stone. It allows you to slow down the flow of gas, still at the same pressure, it just means instead of blasting through your carb stone at high flow, causing big bubbles which just...

I have the 10g Brites, what I have found is there is a big temperature difference between what ftss is saying and what is actually in the Brite. For me it's around 3c (5.4f) so it's saying it's 2.5c (36.5f) when in actual fact it's 5.5c (41.9f), this makes a big difference on how much psi the...
