Checked black IPA gravity, nearly there so will give it a few more days. Cracked open a few bottles of the 1 gallon IPA batch I did a while back, decent and strong. Got that warm fuzzy feeling after 1 and a half bottles :)

5 gallons black IPA partial 4037 + 5 = 4042

Birthday this Sunday and a week booked off work A few days away but will do BIAB pale of some description on Monday, using RO water for first time Have a ill ordered but probably won't be here in time, lots of crushed grains mind

Kegged first brew from Fermzilla using closed transfer Foamed up a few times so need to get a bit more practice in with PSI levels etc but went ok I think. Partial APA and taste was good so fingers crossed

Attached spunding valve earlier so shall see how it goes, fermenting about a week. Dry hopped using collection vessel at bottom but in my haste forgot to apply Co2 to purge it and opened butterfly valve to add hops :(

Yeah, 1072 Usual panic at the end of brew by yours truly

Also, only came to me later in my infinite wisdom that I should have filled both equally and topped up with water, might have lessened strength but would have given 2 gallons instead of putting all my eggs in one basket, so to speak

Fingers crossed so Aim was 2 gallons but boil was obviously too vigorous and only got 7 or 8 litres so used only 1 carboy to be sure

Yeah, temp was closer to 23 or 24c so sure that helped. But worried it will blow itself out too soon now

Just did a 1 gallon batch IPA, OG 1070. Dry pitched half pack US05 and 20 mins or so later it's bubbling away. Never seen that before but no idea if I should be worried

As an aside, loving the ability to watch the yeast do it's thing :)

I assume they're some form of oxidisation occurring but are they unsafe or risky for you beer? Usually put IC in for last 15 mins of boil to sanitise it but noticed those earlier and wasn't sure about them

I'm going to try dry hopping using the collection vessel, flush it with Co2 and open butterfly valve to mix into the wort. Others seem to have had success with that method Must admit it's a slightly steeper learning curve than I was expecting, but am getting into it now and think it's a very...

Just what I've seen on YT etc. Also, when you say closed transfer is that not same thing? As in oxygen free transfer using liquid to liquid line?

5 gallons APA partial, Citra and Cascade in abundance 3563 gallons

Missed this reply, may go for that next time Brewed today, partial APA and then into Fermzilla. Went with airlock for now and will use spunding valve when nearing target gravity. Have the pressure kit so should be handy for taking gravity samples etc

Seeing as it first time using it I might go with airlock for now and get to grips with it Thanks

Thought so but just checking, thanks.

Recently purchased an RO filter. Not used it yet but am wondering if I fill some 1 gallon plastic jugs with it and leave them unused for a while does it change anything? Does it stay RO water permanently or can it somehow absorb particles over time Pardon my complete lack of chemistry knowledge

Planning a partial APA and using my Fermzilla for first time, booked a few days off work too
