Jim's Beer Kit

I was just thinking the same thing. It will make for an interesting comparison.

Yes I agree. Great advice. I'll try the traditional recipe first and when I brew this next time I will incorporate your suggestions. I've never sampled mosaic before to my knowledge so looking forward to this one. Thanks again.

OK. Thanks for the advice. I've just ordered 25 g of magnum. I'll bitter with those to 30ibu. Should I change any of the other hop schedule or just dry hop with the excess of 65g? I was thinking of dry hopping 4 or 5 days into primary fermentation and leaving for 6 days. Hopefully this seems OK. Tha...

Hi. Could some of you experienced brewers tell me if this looks OK. It's the first recipe I've cobbled together. I'm using mosaic hops at 11.5 alpha acid. 4.5 kg MO. 0.2 kg carapils. All mosaic hop additions. 25g at 60mins 10g at 15mins 10g at 5mins 15g steep 40 dry hop for 6 days. Us05 yeast. Any f...

Ok. Thanks.

That's great. Thanks for that detailed answer. As the keg is at 10psi I will disconnect and store at room temperature. I'm guessing that should be enough pressure to keep the keg sealed.

Hi. Just a quick question... I think my beer is carbonated perfectly now. I may sample a pint or two through the week and definitely on the weekend. Can I turn the gas off now and simply open the valve on the bottle again to 10psi when I want to dispense? Sounds logical but I really thought I better...

Thanks for for the reply, that's fantastic. Now to buy another keg...

Hi. It's not the length of time I can keep a beer. I'm curious if I disconnect the gas and use the fridge to ferment another beer, will it be OK to put the cornie back in fridge a few weeks later and chill again without any loss of condition or other problems like foaming etc. The cornie would be st...

Tried the beer on Tuesday and last night. To my astonishment it poured fine and has decent carbonation. I've been shaking the keg a few times a day so maybe that helped. I'm chuffed with the whole set up. I'll never go back to bottling again! I'm looking to do another beer soon and as the fridge is ...

Thanks for all the great advice. Without it I would still drinking from bottles. Looking forward to having a sample next week and I'll keep my eye out for post setting creep.

OK. The keg is (hopefully) cleaned and sanitised. The beer is in and the gas is set to 12psi. I've set the inkbird to 7C and attached the probe to the side of the keg and insulated it. Now I wait two weeks, attach the party tap after a week and sample.... Hopefully I'm not missing anything here? Sen...

Hi the tap is slightly better than the standard one. From the malt miller description..... This premium Party tap consists of 3/8 line adapted to 2 meters of 3/16 line and then back to 3/8 Line with a simple thumb operated tap. The combination of the different sized lines means that you eliminate mo...

Carb up. After ten to fourteen days vent the keg then set a serving pressure?

Great. Thanks for the info. So I use the keg carbonation calculator. Set the pressure and leave connected or top up several times a day and give it a week or 10 days..... Sounds simple!
