King Ruddager Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 Yeah, I'll just mention it. After all, this is FAST homebrew! No time to waste on stuff people already know!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICzed Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I'm loving the videos KR! I especially enjoyed the part where you left the camera on while you went down the shops to get the Juniper berries On a side note I think I'll put Juniper berries on the list of ingredients to try. I enjoyed the Killer Sprocket 'Hey Juniper' pale ale I had a few weeks back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat1525229332 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 G'day King Ruddager Love your videos. Just watched the bulk prime and was hoping You could explain the advantages of bulk priming over say carbonation Drops. Is the outlay for a second vessel worth it? And the extra cleaning up? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I can explain it. It's more accurate, you can more easily adjust carbonation level for different styles, you can use all different sized bottles if you want to, and they all end up with the same level of carbonation. It's about 1/6 of the cost of carb drops. I also find it makes bottling much quicker, despite the cleanup of the extra vessel. IN short, I think it's absolutely worth it.

topcat1525229332 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Thanks otto Looks like I'm investing in a bottling vessel. Now i just need the minister for finance to sign off Can you use a bucket with a tap at the bottom? And do you find less sediment in the bottling vessel? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I use one of the 25 litre water containers from Bunnings. They have provision for a tap. Headspace is no problem as obviously there is no fermentation going on at the bottling stage. I'll find a link when I get home to the computer. Definitely less sediment, in fact none really, in the bottling bucket, as the beer is racked off it and the sediment is left behind in the primary. I like those containers because they have a lid so you don't have to have the beer exposed to the open air while bottling it. Edit:Here is the link to the bucket I use: http://www.bunnings.com.au/venture-bmw-25l-blue-tint-wide-mouth-water-storage-drum-with-bung_p3240533 Mine isn't blue, just the normal white/opaque, but I can't see that being a problem. They are food grade after all. The bung in the bottom of it there can be removed and replaced with a tap. These are available from Bunnings as well. They are located in the outdoor section where all the camping equipment/eskies etc. are. Cheers Kelsey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnaman Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 G'day Your Kingship, bottling using the bottle wand on the flexible hose, so many people seem to miss how easy it makes bottling rather than lifting each bottle up and than putting it down...D'oh, line 'em up fill'em cap'em, carb'em, drink'em, oops got carried away, but you get it. cheers.

captsensible23 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 In the spirit of keeping these videos simple you could try: Dry hoping Hop tea Steeping specialty grains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazznotwazz Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 So' date=' any requests? Otherwise I'm going to have to start stealing ideas from other YouTube-ers ...[/quote'] Hey there, loving your videos. Can you make them longer? Just random ideas here: mixing LDM, blending kit and malt, or even hopping with just extract, why use dextrose or not.. So I guess that is all about sugars then. How sweet it is. Rehydrating yeast?

King Ruddager Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 In the spirit of keeping these videos simple you could try:Dry hoping Hop tea Steeping specialty grains Grains and hops ... that would be a good one. Could probably do one on just hops and explain that chart I always refer to. You know the one ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captsensible23 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Excellent. Something like the alpha acids and how they refer to bitterness. How different a hops are useful in the boil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very loosely attached when I bulk prime even so I have to sit there making sure it doesn't fall off. I do like your idea though! One day perhaps ... G'day Your Kingship' date=' what I did was get a length of hose "tube" from the LHBS that fitted tightly on the bottle wand and then cut a 30mm length off the bottle wand, pushed that in the hose, not to far or it's hard to get out, then attached that to the fermenter and then put the wand on the other end of the hose "tube", works a treat and now have the freedom of movement and fill a lot of bottles no lifting each one.
