The 5l kegs are quite handy, combined with a cornie they cover a 23l brew, and for me they fit on the keezer shelf. Might get a couple more I have found even only 3/4 filling a keg it carbs faster. I also find 14 to 15 psi works for me. Carbing and serving is that your normal to carb and serve? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 2 hours ago, stquinto said: Coopers APA AG clone, with a 4th generation Coopers commercial yeast. I put in some finings in the cold crash so I chose not to collect the trub. Unless you can? Kegged on 22/01, a cornie and a 5l mini keg (this one). It’s only been on gas at 15 PSI for a day: the head isn’t great but it seems to have absorbed quite a bit of CO2. I put slightly less PoR than last time (in other words I followed the recipe…) and it’s much better, less astringent. Nice and clear too… Best get started on another Commercial yeast collect for the next brew That beer looks excellent, it is nice & clear, nice glass too! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I added finings to the 1st and 2nd generation of the Coopers Commercial Ale yeast slurry I am currently using. It does not seem to have affected the 3rd and 4th generation. 5th use planned in a couple of weeks. Coopers XPA. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbing and serving is that your normal to carb and serve? I’m also leaning to the 3/4 filling too, or at least not to the top. I carb and serve around 15 PSI or so. I tend to gas up a new keg after 24 hours in the keezer, and carb it for about 5 days at 15. I’m a bit concerned about the seal on some cornies, even though I turn them upside down after filling to check for leaks. Sometimes it’s a bit hit and miss, but as I can usually lager them a bit, it doesn’t half help with clearing them 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pressurised FY is still closed with the trub in, I suppose there’s no reason not to use it again. Having said that, I got a case of APA from my wholesalers so might as well splash out on a new culture. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The longer I can leave on the out post the better the carbonation. Unless like I said it's 3/4 of a keg it gets better faster. Suppose it's simply less liquid to carbonate. 6 hours ago, Classic Brewing Co said: Yes, that is a good scotch, I often have a nip of similar, either scotch/brandy/port etc. after dinner, purely for medicinal purposes of course. Yeah nothing like the strong stuff to help heal the body and mind. I also really enjoy the dimples 12 and 15 year old plus a few other brands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uhtred Of Beddanburg Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 (edited) First pour of yaraville pale ale FWK 5 days in keg bit undercarbonated. Forgot had gas off for 2 days. The foamy top is first pour after line clean. Beer is actually flat and bit watery 4.2% I have made a S&W clone by mistake Not a bad taste still no extra hops added I forget what they put in this can taste in background. Next time will aim for 5% mark. Should increase body and flavour. I also bottled 6 in big coopers longnecks will come out 4.5%.
