hi to all

[Croudo]

this is 5th day and my psi in the beermachine its still 0 even tho its bubbling
any idea?

Pressure in the beer machine? Explain please.

 

[Croudo]

u know the beermachine?
beermachine.com
when the yeast eat the sugar its make pressure in the beermachine
the psi goes 2 15 psi
i think the psi is broken or the yeast r dead

Most likely you're making beer. You might have a leak -- the screw cap probably. If you loosen the cap slightly and you don't hear gas escape, then you can believe its a leak. The bubbling tells you the yeast are making beer and CO2.

I'd recommend that you DON'T take the cap all the way off. Let the beer ferment out (maybe two weeks or three if you can wait) then bottle condition the beer.

Good luck.

hi ken
to make a beer at the beermachine it 10 days so to let the beer ferment out 2-3 weeks its to much right?
i try the way that the psi its not working by pouring in to a glass and the pressure was very good
i taste of the bee was not sweet at all
so i pot it in the fridge for 3-4 days (still waiting
do i miss something
u think i ruin it?

Hah. It makes lagers & ales...& stouts! Do these guys even really know what they're talking about? they sure treat their customers like they don't,apparently. And did that yeast packet say Fleishman's on it?! And they put a big red "X" across a midwest style brewing kit!? Oh please...it's kit-n-kilo in a new package. Might be good,but come on...

 

[Croudo]

i dont see a problem with it
i like 2 drink beers and here its very expensive like 14 dollars for 6 pack
if i can make my own beers in the easy way just for drink? bring it on

 

[unionrdr]

Yeah,many of us totally agree with that. They are getting even more expensive. But the usual system is 5 gallons on here. The smaller systems are fine for experimenting. Or begining brewing when space is at a minimum.
It just bothers me that they advertise it as being just as good as AG/PM craft beers. It's the same old kit-n-kilo re-invented. Keep a healthy yeast pitch & good ferment temps & it should be fine.
