I dried the slurry into flakes. If using a starter, I’m would it be ok to use. I’ve done this with other yeast but wondering if it’s ok with this one. I did this as I couldn’t get it easily but now it’s available so if it’s a problem, I’ll throw it away and get more. (Pitching from slurry was...

on all the regulators the e clip just seems to sit on top of the spring not attached to anything. Ill open the 1st one tonight and see if that is the same. You are correct, primary reg is set to 20 and even with the knob completely off, it creeps up to 20psi. I think the answer here is trying...

Thanks for all your help on the above. I had no luch with the part i needed but instead swapped everything out for barbs and thicker gas line. Now that I have done that, can I ask another possibly stupid question. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------...

wont let me check out, i have asked them

thanks, none of those are shipping international. I know what i need now so this is great!!

Thanks! I'll see if i can get one shipped and if not ill go with the original barb and give up.

exactly, feels like if i really push it will go it but obvously that would create issues. Where do i find something to convert it to RH

Thanks, makes sense. We dont really have those so will import.

Hi All, I wonder if someone can assist with the correct term for what I am looking for. I have a secondary regulator, Kegco LHU5S-3 and I want to run 8mm gas hose into the inlet. I am in Japan and for the life of me, I cannot find any fitting that will screw into the inlet. The 3 outlets...

Thanks all. Feel confident to do this now

Hi, I have a Pale ale and IPA in my fermenation chamber permanently at 68 degrees. They're 1 week old and fermentation appears to be complete but I dont plan to bottle for another week. Is it ok to move them out of the chamber now to allow an extra 2 brews to go in? The external temperature...

Tastes like weizen and I used no wheat Thanks all. Looks like rouge yeast. I’ll need to be more careful

The lager was brew 2, saison brew 8. My sanitization is pretty good also, but will tighten it up as much as possible. I got two new ones conditioning now, using 34/70 and wlp840 Let’s see if they stay free of the white beer

I am still learning with mixed results but there is one thing I cant find an answer to Among my brews, 2 of them have ended up the same and I don’t know why Pilsner – yeast Saflager S-23 Duvel – yeast Belle Saison. Both were ok at first and in fact the Duvel tasted rather similar to the...

thank you all for your replies. I think the Chinook, Centennial, Cascade combo is the one i might give a try

my bad, totally forgot to say i have White Labs WLP051 California Ale V Yeast that i need to use. I only really know IPA APA, dont like anything too heavy, prefer fruity but i have a very fruity one on the go now. Happy to try other styles as there are lots of different styles i have read here...

Hi All, I would really appreciate some ideas on my next recipe. I currently have a pale ale about to be bottled. That was made with 2 row, crystal 40, carapils, Sorachi, Citra and Cascade and looks great. I now have enough left over grain to make a 3 gallon batch using the same grain but...

Update - i got my saflager-S23, gave the carboy a little shake, dumped in the whole packet and within 8 hours, i have 1 bubble every 3 seconds and slightly visible action in the wort. There is now what looks like an inch of Krausen. When i opened to dump in the yeast, there had been activity...

TBH i think i was a bit ambitious starting of with a lager but have learnt a lot, if not a little frustrated. It was a Japanese kit and all it said was dry lager yeast. I have no doubt it was good yeast put into a smaller packet but anyway i will switch suppliers. i will add some as soon as...

No fruit or dry hops. When i gave it a good shake up the other day, there were bits like this throughout the wort, thats why i thought it was yeast. No bad smell or colour, just looks like yesat
