Thanks! I was more thinking about a under the counter type like a traditional kegerator because it’s going in the house. New would be fine I’m just concerned about buying a new one and the kegs not fitting. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180621/e76a6c8b617eef31825d590471d4d85f.jpg Sent from my ...

Cheers, how easy was that whe somebody tells you!

Hi,

Anybody know how to calibrate these, I can't seem to be able to work it out. It's only 2oC out and I can compensate for this but would rather it be as accurate as possible.

You could decant a couple of bottles into your next beer of a similar style so you don't waste it. I've done this with an ipa I had with the same problem.

I used the carbonation chart in Greg Hughes book Home Brew Beer, he doesn't list a sasion but he says 6.6g per 500ml for lambic and sour ales so I went with that in the end.

I used a abbey style yeast by safale. I've bottled it this evening using 6g per 500ml bottle, see how it turns out.

Hi, I'm after some advice on priming the above beer in 500ml bottles. I normally just use a tea spoon of priming suger in the bottle with all my beers, but I've had a few issues on the odd batch, so I feel I need to look into the exact levels in my detail. So how many grams of priming sugar should I...

I'm using Saf-05. Pitched 3 packets on top of a yeast cake of the same strain.

I've no idea myself when to add the champagne yeast but thought on the lines of when it all started to slow down a bit.

Still going strong today!

Cheers

Hi, I brewed the above beer on Sat, it's one of the brewdog recipes. It should get up to about 16% but the recipe says you need to used champagne yeast to get it to this, but start with beer yeast. When do you think I should pitch in the champagne yeast? I was thinking about 10% but I've no idea and...

Hi, I'm also into about 8 or 9 brews and seem to sometimes get the same issue as you, but only with high late hops or dry hopping. I never get an issue with lightly hopped beers. The last dry hopped beer I did I made sure I got a good rolling boil and this seems to have made a big difference in the ...
