Re: Kettle Souring... Failing!
So, just had my first success! I used a whole bottle of Lacto Plantarium probiotic pills, which is supposed to be around 300 billion cells - only cost me £6 too. Held at 25 degrees, and it tore through reducing to 3.5pH in just 48 hours (from 5.5! - I cocked up the initial pH a bit). I'd definitely ...

Re: Kettle Souring... Failing!
The packets generally said between 20-26, varied slightly between the two. One was very much a generic yeast label, it even said "Yeast likes temperature between x and y, so pitch at z"... I'll try just using the temperature on the label next time, and go from there :-\ If commercial vials aren't ve...

Kettle Souring... Failing!
Ok, so I'm usually pretty good at trying things out with brewing and getting a good result. Kettle souring, however, has eluded me. I've successfully performed a sour mash before - though with limited souring in actual fact. I'd love any advice people can give, this is what I've tried so far, and ho...

Re: unexpected dispensation
I was depressurising a keg once that was finished. Forgot to put the stopper in the "beer out" part of the Sankey connector. Engaged, and foam/beer dregs blasted out all over me, the ceiling, walls, and general area of the kitchen. Wife wasn't best pleased. Just redecorated the kitchen, so you'd nev...

Re: Connectors - Cam & Groove, Tri Clamp or other?
Given that C&G is really designed for high pressure gas systems, I'd be surprised if Tri-clovers provide a stronger seal...

Re: How many kegs do you have in your keezer/kegerator?
I can fit 3 + a dumpy gas bottle in mine, usually only have two kegs (crusader 20L) in there though. Have two taps. Don't really drink enough to have more than that, even then a keg lasts a couple of months. I do have another chest freezer with temp control, and two fridges with temp control in the ...

Re: Beer line help, where to find 3/16 vinyl?
I've also struggled to find appropriate 3/16 ID vinyl beer line in the UK. This is not the same as the 3/16 tubing you see for sale in the UK, which is OD. I imported my beer tower from the US - back when it was significantly cheaper to do so - that came with 6ft of 3/16 ID - which luckily is about ...

Re: Vacuum bag problems
Yeah I've had similar problems - if you get bits of hops in the sealing bit, it can eventually let air in. Mine double seals and I've still had a few unseal over a few months.

Re: Vacuum Packing
Yeah, the one I posted the link to can cope with liquids, which is why I bought it! Hops are a secondary use to be fair.
