Hey everyone,
Newbie to the forum here,.. and mildly new at brewing. I probably done around 20 batches since starting, and the first 15 in your basic fermenter. The last 5 have been in the 56ltr SS Brewtech Unitank.
The beer itself is fine, but I have to say I'm having quite a few issues with this thing and I'm a bit lost as to why:
1. When under pressure the blowoff valve (set to 10psi) always overflows and I end up with a fair mess on the top of the tank,.. mostly cosmetic I think but no one else seems to have this problem?
2. When kegging, I cannot tell you just how much trub ends up in the final product. I don't often dump this off, as I assumed that it all sits at the bottom of the conical? Maybe its all picked up because its carbonated when I keg? Its got to the point where I loose at least a few pints from every keg whilst I muck about trying to get the taps to pour as it keeps clogging up the posts Last time, I tried to keg off through a filter and all it did was make a massive mess and still ended up with, what looks like even more trub. I'm at a bit of a loss any tips? Am I supposed to be dumping the trub? should i release the pressure before doing so?
Thanks in advance
Shaun
