Re: Thinking about moving to Corni kegs

I got a 5-pack from them about a year ago and they have all been fine. They held pressure even just emptying a kettle of boiling water and letting the air inside heat up by shaking. It was cheaper to go to their Irish site (.ie), pay a delivery charge and order in Euros but that may have changed. Lo...

Re: using crs

Probably no or very little CRS for stout/porters.

Brupaks water treatment is a straightforward guide. You measure the carbonate level first which is easy to do with a Salifert carbonate test kit (enough for dozens of tests).

Re: Brew in the Bag System Build

This is not a personal recommendation, just a seller I've had bookmarked for some time as the pots look well made and are reasonably cheap even including delivery from Italy e.g. £51 delivered for a 35L pot (I was mulling over the 70L, £64 delivered). Also, I can't see the stainless spec in the list...

Re: Wort Aeration - Aquarium Pump 120 L/H

What type of yeast do you use? Dried yeast such as Nottingham doesn't need aerating (pdf).

Re: Yeast pitching

I've never been too concerned about estimating cell counts as I understood what exponential growth implied and my sanitation has been pretty good. Also, results of experiments I found on the web suggest many people prefer severely underpitched beers and many more couldn't tell the difference. Lastly...
