It being a pressure fermenter doesn’t dry hopping this way defeat the purpose or the unit, the pressure being released when dry hopping which increases the risk of oxydation? Surely the best way is to use magnets in a hop bag? Of course you can also use co2 like you did.

I do similar from a bucket fermenter to a purged keg. Fv tap to beer in connector on the keg and a gas line from the keg gas post to the airlock grommet. No need for pressure in the FV just make sure pressure in keg is vented. The weight of the beer pushes the co2 out and fills the keg

size matters , and the allrounder fits in the fridge, if I was to buy a taller fridge think I would go straight to the Fermzilla Triconical

that recipee looks great! If I do not want to do DH, can I increase the whirpool addition to 5g/L or something or should I keep it at 4g/l?

I have a batch in the fermenter now hoping it tastes like founders....wish i saw your vid first to get some tips!

Great video. Tried Sonoma in their taproom on cask recently and can happily say was up there with ther best pints I've ever had. Tried to recreate it using this recipe but, much like all my attemped hoppy beers so far, I really don't think I'm getting enough flavour from the amount of hops I'm using. Any tips on hop utilisation? Using a plastic bucket as a fermetentor but fully temp. controled. Currently doing a single mesh bag dry hop.

thank you, that helped

I use the exact same method. Works well for me. That small dip tube on the carbonation cap comes off quite easily with a dremel tool.and the whole contents of the bottle will go straight through to the keg.

My water is super hard water with a high TDS rating like 350-420 ppm ish.

Hi there, what was your finish gravity ? cheers Brett

What is the obsession with clear beer? Are we all professionals or homebrewers? We leave the good stuff in. In Germany there are many commercial beers right now that are going back to not filtrating the beer, which you can taste and see obviously. I'll never get it.

Is there an online store to purchase these washers?

Great video, thanks! But how and when would you add finings, dry hops etc., in an entirely closed system like this?

Loving the video just kegged this last Tuesday. This beer just gets better and better over the weeks while drinking, hops are lovely. Glad you enjoyed one of my favs. Just poured a pint after left in keg for 2 weeks. Looking at getting in to all grain brewing what brew systems would you recommend. May ask where did you get the glasses from? Love them. Happy Brewing Gareth

I use Progess, EKG , Fuggles and Brambling Cross with Gervin yeast

What’s your view on the PET kegs that seem to be gaining popularity? Based on your findings, do you think the PET kegs are good way of oxidising many litres of good beer?

Would really like to get a beer engine, finding used ones in Sweden is basically a lost cause though. Ebay seems unreasonably expensive.

Nice if you used a tripod,and bring items of closeup to the camera ☺️

I am some 3 yrs late to the party, but are you still using this setup? Looks exactly like what I want tbh.

Awesome info. Cheers rich.

Hey Dude inspired by you I have set up my beer engine , check valve and secondary regulator, bought from Jim of Jim's beer kit, currently drinking a Timothy Taylor Landlord tribute. BIAB I used a jug to move the wort around during mashing hit all of my numbers, Cheers the Furnace Green Brewer

Another great video, thanks 👍

How do you reckon this would go in a saison?

Next test is PET kegs. I was thinking about getting a couple.

Looks like a pretty conclusive report cheers 👍🍻

PET has advantages of being lightweight, being able to bounce and safer if you make bottle bombs with over carbonation. I used recycled tonic bottles when I first started home brewing but I changed to glass after splitting a batch and doing taste tests over a few months. Results were as in your video. I just use one PET bottle per batch to monitor how it carbonates up.

Thanks, a very useful trial, with really good information.

Do you think vacum sealing the pet bottles would help? I think Dr hans did that in his experiment. Thank you for that, I'll start participating in homebrew competitions late this year so it's very helpful, cheers!

Really informative video Rich, plus the Pod last evening [30-9-24] was again highly informative, quality experiment with the different elements, big difference between the PET and glass bottles, am sure many fellow home brewers will be shocked with the findings...I am, PET bottles are very soon to be shown their way into the recycling...Well played bud...

Lots of good takeaways from your information there mate, Thanks for the heads up Cheers

If using pet bottles once you’ve filled the bottle squeeze the sides of the bottle until the liquid reaches the brim then screw the cap on. I bottle condition my beers and doing this over using glass bottles has seen an enormous improvement in my beer. The pet bottles basically don’t oxidise at all when there is virtually no oxygen in the head space. IPAs still smell and taste great, you can tell they’re not oxidised because of the colour as well. Trust me it works! I saw this first done by Gash on “The home brew network” on RUclips

be interesting to see if got same results with this beer kept in Kegland pet kegs

Thanks for the very informative video! I've always thought that glass was the better choice taste-wise, but didn't quite know why. So now I have an excuse to throw away my old PET beer bottles and get some space back!

Thank´s again for an interesting video! Oxidation is certainly not an overblown thing and i love the expression " cardboard soaked in cherry" ! 😄🍻

Hi Dude, I have 3 x 19 and 2 x 5 litre SS kegs as well just ordered some more seals for the 19 litre keep up the posts all very informative and fun. Cheers

I will follow the advice on one of your posts an hydraulic test after 2 years as I have 2 x 30 litre chubbies and 2 x19 litre kegs. cheers

I use Doliums for kegging some big NEIPAs, never had a comment from customers about oxydation. Maybe it's not the same PET than your bottles .

hey what about PET Kegs

sodium metabisulfite to sterilize and helps scavenge O2.

would be interesting to compare with the new kegland enhanced plastic 4 litre containers

Great and very interesting video Tricky! Looking forward to the pod later 👌🏻

ruddles used to sell beer in 2 litre pet brown bottles

You could try using mylar bags to vacuum seal the PET bottles, with an oxygen absorber to extend the life. That would add cost and hassle, but it may be useful if you want to avoid sending glass bottles in the post.

That looks pretty similar to my own house best bitter, though I don't use crystal malt at all. Grist in mine is 88% pale malt, 12% biscuit - both from a local malting company here in Virginia. Mine also has 42 IBUs of whatever hop I decide to use, the default is Goldings, but I have had some cracking results with Cascade, El Dorado, Galaxy, and Challenger. I've not brewed it with Fuggles yet though, but have some in the fridge...perhaps it is time.

Are you capping on foam? I started to make sure to do that and it's made a major difference in my shelf stability of my beers.

Hi Richard, I manged to get my beer engine working thanks for the video.

I wonder if you did flameout hops instead of 80C whirlpool it might have dropped clear without the finings? Seems to me cold break forming plus hops is what makes haze. Maybe protein rest plus 90min boil might have made it even clearer. Finings don't bother me but it's a shame it can't be shared with vegan friends.

I live in Portugal these days. It’s generally pretty great but I miss cask beer so much!

Hey Tricky Quick question for you, what is your dry hopping technique? Every time I dry hop through hop bong or just through the top 14-16c the pellets just drop straight to the bottom. Pressure ranging from no pressure to around 5psi Any suggestions to why this could be happening?
