Thanks. I let some pressure out now and it’s set to 12. Gonna let it sit for a few days and try it. The hoses came with it, I may have to get longer ones if it’s the problem.

In the keg or regulator?

I did not.

1st pour today. Tastes pretty good for my first time. Wife likes it as well and says has a good aftertaste. Having some issues with my pour. Lots of head. Running 6 ft lines at 8psi. Carbed at 30 psi for about 30 hours and then 10 for about 20. Not sure if maybe I over carbonated at 30?

Ya I did not top off. Totally missed that step. I didn’t think I could top off prior to kegging. Will make corrections for the next batch. Thanks for the advice!

well today I kegged the beer. FG 1.014. Only ended up with about 3 gallons of beer though. Lost during boil and fermentation. So my next kit I plan to boil 6 gallons instead and hope that compensated for the loss. Beer is gonna be strong OG was 1.072. But it’s for sure drinkable, so...

Saaaaaawwweeeett.... entered

USA. Awesome!!!

Nice. Just added it to my cart!

Took a FG reading today, day 15. 1.014 right on target. Clearing up nicely and flavor seemed good. Gonna take another reading Tuesday. Then cold crash and keg... so far seems like a successful first batch!!

First batch of cider. It’s a pineapple cider recipe. Right now it’s been fermenting for 4 days. Got Rhino Farts like crazy lol... gonna try and be patient and let it age after I rack it to a secondary. But I’m gonna need luck and strength to make it lol.

It’s around the 65 degree range. It’s been fermenting for 3 days now.

curious why S-04 yeast was used for this recipe? Right now I have a batch going following the above directions and got serious “Rhino Farts” going on. Hoping the rack to a secondary helps get rid of any sulfar.

Clover SC here... this thread looks dead...

So trying out this recipe. Went with 1/8 tap of the clover and followed the rest. Let it set for right a 24 hours and my OG was 1.060. So not sure why it wasn’t on target. Just got done pitching S-04 and had to add a blow off. Only because I used to small a carboy. This is only my second...

Close thread...

using Safle US4. Will do a blow off then thanks! Also will shake and stir really well. Since it’s a dry yeast and cider, I plan on just pitching it and not rehydrating. Any thoughts on which is better?

So I started my first 5 gallon batch of cider today. I have it sitting for 24 hours with the campden tabs in it. I put it in a 5 gallon carboy. Is it ok to and yeast and ferment in that size or will I end up with blow off like a beer? Should I transfer to a bigger carboy before I add the...

So update. I had to leave home the last three days. Looks like most the action has ceased. My temp while the yeast was active was constant at 68 with a towel wrapped around it in my closet. My house temp has stayed the same, but the temp on my carboy is reading close to 64 now. I wrapped...
