But it's £1.70 for 1.5 litres, bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 My Wherry was ok I suppose, but the secondary ferm didn't produce any of it's own gas? I assume it wasn't kept warm for long enough? Blasted it with some co2 to get it out, and it was a nice brew to be honest. Doing IPA atm. Just barrelled it and hope it gasses up this time. I have pipe work heat trace heating tape wrapped around the barrel this time to give a steady 20 deg. Kiss my face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 Thing is, I cracked open the tap slightly to see if there was any hissing sound, but there wasn't. Worried a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggg Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 with most kits you have to allow the brew to cool after the prescribed no of days at 18-20deg c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 Is that when the co2 is produced then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GboroRam Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 It should gas up during the ferment. If its not got any life, and you've got a CO2 bottle, chill it (as cool as you can) and blast CO2 into it. Shake the keg up - the cold will encourage the gas to be absorbed into the beer. Keep adding more gas and shaking it up until its as lively as you want. Then, obviously, allow to settle before you serve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted January 10, 2011 Author Share Posted January 10, 2011 Thanks for that, I don't thinks it's gassing on it's on again. will do the co2 trick. It's cooling now after about 4 days at 20deg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GboroRam Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Shouldn't need it really. What do you use for kegs? If its the plastic cr*p things they sell in the supermarkets, I wouldn't bother. Steel cornelius style kegs are easier to clean, stack/store away easier, look nice and can be gassed easily. I got a bunch from the Britvic factory in Leeds - commercially they're about £30 each (cleaned and reconditioned) - Britvic knock them out for a fiver a throw, dirty as a Scouser's wife. You'll need 3/8" pipe and quick disconnects, plus loads of cleaning stuff. You might go for primary & secondary regulators as well. Worth the effort though. If I'd known, I could have given you loads of stuff but I flogged it all off for £200. Bargain really - 13gal boiler, fermenters, mashtun, JG fittings, disconnects, regs and 3 line flash chiller as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
