Loads of issues...

Post by chris68 » Mon Jun 25, 2007 6:34 pm

Damn, balls and other nasty words!! Ok, to put it simply, Got a Muntons Premiers Midas Gold Touch kit, started it, it got stuck, through help on here got it going again and all went well, moved it into the keg after about 10 days in total, primed, no pressure, found the rubber seal to be dead on the pressure release valve, this was replaced, primed again with malt and a bit of sugar? pressure built up, 2 days later had a little sample all is fine.

Moved it into the garage to cool down and clear, tried it today, no pressure at all... :cry: Could the temp be to low causing thins??

I'm at the point of giving up as this is looking like it will be my second failed brew.( 1st was ruined due to circumstances beyond my control)

Help Please chaps :?

It's not failed. It's just flat. Beer absorbs more CO2 when it's colder so although you had pressure in it when it was warm, that has probably been absorbed by the beer now you've cooled it. Can you add CO2 from a cylinder?

DaaB, that is the one I have just moved out of primary after advice on here. Ok, so I may be stressing about nothing, fine, I feel better now! I just had issues on top of issues with the beer.....

So leave the Midas alone for a few weeks then give it a go?

Coopers IPA has been primed and should be going along just fine I intend to leave that for at least a month, I was going to attach a brew belt for about 5 days as they are both stored in my garage?

To make matters worse the wifes wine kits are exceptional!!! :twisted:
