Re: Distilling hop oils
I gave this a go last night and would call it a partial success. I add 10g of old target hop pellets from the back of the freezer to 500ml water and collected the first 300ml of distillate in 3x100mm containers. The oil extract volume was very small - just a film on top of the water. It is very stro...

Re: Distilling hop oils

The oils must be very potent -recommmneded dosage 1ml per 5 galons (US).I think I'll throw some old hops from the freezer into the still and see what happe...

Distilling hop oils
Does anyone have any experience distilling hop oils? I have come into possesion of a little 4 litre air still and was thinking that I could add a bunch of hops to it, fill it up with water and extract the hop oils. I would think think that the more volatile aroma compounds would come off first, foll...

Re: Brew Pub Shed Build
This is a close-up of the keezer. The kegs with the black tops are standard 19 litre cornies. The silver tops are 12 litre cornies and I can stack two of them on top of each other. So, I can get 2x19l and 4x12l kegs in there. The beer lines pass through the wall to the right of the keezer... S_P6254...

Re: Brew Pub Shed Build
This is back in the brewery. The fridge on the right is the fermentaion chamber and the keezer is on the left. The stainless bit on the keezer is a collar that I added to accomodate the height of the kegs

I recently made a Bohemian Pilsner using this yeast and it fermented down to FG in 6 days at 12C, plus 3 extra days at 15C for diacytel rest. I used two packets of yeast for a 23 litre batch. Boil some water and add to a sterilised container the night before and allow to cool overnight. At the start...

Re: Grainfather G30
This is the second of your questions that I'm replying to today. I'm on a roll :D :D :D ... I think that a false bottom is almost essential for the G30. Before getting one my pump used to get jammed by debris every second brew. Now it never does. See this thread https://www.jimsbeerkit.co.uk/forum/v...
