Re: water level float arm

Re: Brewtech Conical Fermenter
Go for broke. You won't regret it. :wink: This. I have one. I dont really use it to its full potential with regards yeast harvesting, pressure transfer, heating and cooling. I have done a couple of yeast harvests from it, one of which was very successfull. But it certainly looks good stood there al...

Re: Vanishing hop aroma
If you can cool your conical you should be able to eject most of the hop matter by opening the cone valve 4 times over 2 days, the rest will sink. You could always add a little stainless mesh to the inside of your conical to filter out any excess particles. I dont have means to cool the conical. Bu...

Re: Vanishing hop aroma
The home brew version would be dry hopping under pressure in a corny keg or similar, then transferring under pressure to a new keg or bottles that have been purged of O2. Not saying it's necessary, but goes a long way to explaining why some of the commercial craft beers you get taste so fresh and i...

Re: Vanishing hop aroma
The method i use is to transfer the beer from the conical to a bottling bucket via a silicon tube. I then bottle from the bucket via a bottling wand attached to the tap.
When you say the hops never get chance to interact with the atmosphere with the DDH method , what do you mean?

Re: Vanishing hop aroma
Just a bit of an update on this. I have tried another bottle nearly a week later (so 2 weeks since bottling). Well, when i popped the cap and had smell there is a bit of hop character come back :) On pouring there is definate hop aroma and taste. Not as much as when it was bottled but it is there. T...

Re: Vanishing hop aroma
The colour appears to be the same as the final sample i took just prior to bottling.Robwalkeragain wrote: ↑Mon Nov 26, 2018 9:48 pmAny colour change? Oxidation from the very high hopping rates is the usual culprit with these sorts of things.

Re: Vanishing hop aroma
Might just be that the raspberry is overpowering the hops. Fruit beers are normally all about the fruit. Thanks for that. The raspberry flavour is very forward in aroma and taste. The sample i took just before bottling was very fruity but also had a very nice hop aroma and taste. Which is a shame t...

Vanishing hop aroma
I have recently brewed a raspberry and vanilla smoothy ipa. This was a 25l brew and the recipe called for 1.6kg of frozen raspberries and 236g of mosiac pellets as a dry hop for 4 days. Anyway when it came to bottling i took a final sample and the raspberry flavour was definetly there along with a v...

Re: Protofloc - How much?
As Kev says, too much Protafloc can cause clogging problems. I use Protafloc granules (easier to weigh out the right amount than the tablets) and have found that 0.75g in the boil is adequate. This is for a 22-24 litre final length. Guy I use the granules too. It says on the tub to use 1/4 tsp per ...

Re: What do you think this is, floating on boiled water?
My waters the same if i leave it stood. I am in a very hard water area.
Its limescale (im sure theres a technical name for it). If i rinse a stainless vessel with hot water and let it cool/dry i get a white powdery residue left. Unless i rinse with cold and dry with tea towels.
