Classic Brewing Co Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I just picked this lot up from a friend of @ozdevil who lives in Adelaide, apparently his work is too busy for him to brew. It is an amazing addition to my brewery as I have plans to build a portable set up for visits to the neighbours, BBQ's, maybe even the beach It was an exceptional gesture & very much appreciated. Thank you. Phil 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. Phil Nice one Phil, and @ozdevil too ! I just got a small bottle (7kg instead of 10) and it's much handier size-wise. When my other ones blow I'll replace them with the 7kg ones. Makes them pretty portable: not quite like a soda stream but better value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pale Man Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) All Grain Pale Ale experiment. Weyerman Pilsner and Wheat. A touch of Gladfield Dark Chrystal. Saaz hops for bittering and flavour. Very clear going into the keg. Should be a nice zingy thirst quencher. I pushed the Lallemand Verdant Yeast to the lower limits of a 16 degrees for a cleaner taste. Ramped up to 20 at the end. See how it goes.

stquinto Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 I was going to keg my COPA that's been cold crashing for 4 days. Frozen solid ! I've put it by the boiler to defrost, I suppose the yeast is a goner ? Got a Landlord AG to keg too, at least it's not frozen... 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For one of the Homebrew Challenge episodes on YouTube he froze a batch pretty much before it had started fermenting (he found the FV frozen on day 2). Defrosted and the yeast took off again. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I froze a Czech Pilsner once cold crashing, I did everything I could to nurse it back to health, ended up bottling it & it took a few months before it developed any real flavour but I remember the last few were pretty good. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmar92 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) Kegged my Maris Otter and other stuff AG brew today. It had Maris Otter as the base and some wheat, carapils and some rye, fermented with Nottingham. I am experimenting with finings so it was kettle fined with Whirlfloc, my usual practice, and then gelatine in the fermenter whilst it was cold crashing so I am interested to see the clarity once it is carbonated. I have also received an order of crushed plastic pipe to try as a fining agent in the next brew . Edited March 3, 2023 by kmar92 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmar92 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Yes, it was actually the same clarity all the way in the FV, must be just an artifact with the photo looking as it does. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamus O'Sean Posted March 4, 2023 Author Share Posted March 4, 2023 Kegged my Catharina Sours. Mango in one and passionfruit in the other. I was worried about the dark colour when I transferred the wort to the fermenters. However, I did not need to be. What I am worried about is what looks like my first pellicle in a brew. It was the passionfruit fermenter. It might have come from the frozen passionfruit pulp. Or more likely from the clumsy way I removed the Chux hop sock that was holding the passionfruit. It was not there when I removed the Chux. Kegged it anyway. Probably do a bleach sanitise on the FV, the keg and the line I end up putting it on in the kegerator.

kmar92 Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 1 hour ago, Cheap Charlie said: hmmm, not sure if I could trust that PVPP (polyvinylpolypyrrolidone) or Polyclar. "PVPP PolyClar - Granulated Powder - 500g PVPP is a widely used stabilising agent which aids in the removal of polyphenols which contributes to chill haze in beer. It is also commonly added to white wine to bind to and remove phenolic compounds which contribute to browning and astringency. It preserves wine aroma, unlike some other fining agents. PVPP can reduce bitterness and brighten colour of red wines however it is more commonly used as an additive to white wines." 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiekraut Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 1 hour ago, Cheap Charlie said: hmmm, not sure if I could trust that PVPP, aka PolyClar. I always refer to it as ground-up plastic. It is completely harmless and works a treat. It binds to specific proteins in the beer and drops them out of suspension. It will ultimately drop out and you aren't drinking it. I usually put a solution of 250ml hot water and a teaspoon of PVPP into the FV a day after I initiate the cold crash. It works well and helps clear up quite a bit. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
