    Can I ask a question as a newbie to all of this and still using an open set up of boilers and barrels and buckets. i dont understand the new idea of oxygen free, everyone seems to be doing oxygen free, i dont understand why and i dont understand the need for it. when you have to ferment the co2 fills the air space so it becomes naturally O2 free, i then gravity ssyhpon into the keg i use, does such a small air space which gets filled with co2 as well, why bother doing this. i can understand from a commercial point of view the brewery has a sealed policy but thats more for anti tamper or anti dirt or to run a hygene sealed system

      Sure! Its not a new idea, what is new is the affordability for home brewers without having to buy many thousands of dollars worth of stainless steel pressurised equipment. Oxygen is the number one enemy of beer. Mainly well usually firstly seen in the difference from bottled beer to keg beer. Night and Day, unless you are extremely careful or use counter pressure fillers etc. Its all about freshness, making your hop aromas and flavours last.
      Dont get me wrong you can still get very nice beer in the way you do it, I did it for years.
      the amount of oxygen that can spoil beer is extremely small, its like a grain of sand on a beach, a very large beach. Whether you've noticed it or not just filling the keg with the top open is enough to damage a beer, some beers much more susceptible than others, well easier to notice the damage. Since kegs are usually stored cold that slows some damage too.
      Someone in a group last week did some oxygen tests at his work, filled and purged keg had around 40 ppb of oxygen left n the keg while one with the top open had 1013 ppb, its quite a difference.
      Sure if you're just brewing ales to drink and relatively quickly the normal methods will be fine, big booze and dark malts cover a multitude of sins as well.
      I dont brew big beers and I like my hoppy ales, IPAs and Pilsner/Lagers and these beers really benefit from some extra care, especially since im usually the only one drinking them so some can sit in a keg for a couple of months, where they used to drop of after a few weeks, I'm finding they stay much fresher longer, which is a win for me.
      Also even looking at it from another angle I need variety of things for my channel! but this is more than that, its those hop aromas and flavours that last longer and fresher is what does it for me! Cheers Pete!

    • @jamesgoacher1606
      @jamesgoacher1606 4 года назад +2

      It dosen't matter until the "After the first few days of Fermentation" Stage. Initially the yeast needs oxygen to multiply and start growing. Then it starts using the sugars and tuning them into alcohol with CO2 as a byproduct.
      I just syphon my beer into a Plastic Cask but I take care not to splash as I do that and purge the filled Cask with CO2 from and S30 cylinder prior to sealing. That stops the beer from oxidising in the cask so it tastes better and lasts longer.
      The procedure shown is better because of the complete elimination but less than perfect is also OK.

      If you are doing bottle conditioned beer, that uses up a lot of ingressed O2 or even keg conditioned would work as well. The fermenting yeast in the packages will use thespare O2.

    After thinking i had chill haze in my last two beers and making more hoppy beers.. I decided to try filtration and to use an 12v air vac pump to pull sanitizer from 19l keg through filter into a receiving keg. then vac fresh water. and then starsan. Once everything is clean. i drain out the 19l keg. and the filter. put the filter in line from the fermenter bucket with a syphon tube. Close the inlet valve of filter and pressurize and purge with Co2. then i fit the vac pump to the co2 port of the 19l keg start vacing and open the filter inlet. This pulls the beer from the fermenter bucket through the filter into the keg. Although it looks like air is being pulled in. this is actually Co2 coming out of the beer. I watch the level in the bucket as it gets close to 19l empty i watch the clear vac line and stop when foam starts getting drawn up the vac line. This results in perfectly clear . No noticeable loss in flavour , but flat beer. Which i force carbonate. Brilliant for speeding up clearing time and beer to transport without having to let the sludge settle out again.. Not sure about shelf life as it all gets consumed very quickly. I dismantle the filter wash it under a tap. And then reassemble and do repeated cleans of sanitizer and water and starsan again using the vac pump to pull the cleaners from a small keg through the filter into a receiving. leaving sanitizer in the filter. ready for another pre wash before transferring the next ready brew 1micron filter clears everything. the Air vac pump can't pull liquids through it directly . So the principle is to create lower air or co2 pressure in the receiving vessel. Works really well rather than using pressure to move the liquids. As it's not possible to pressurise a lid type fermenter. bucket .And syphoning through a filter would be very slow or ineffective method due to the filter resistance.

      Used the filter 5 times. and now it is blocked. Even trying doing an i line filter keg to keg forced by Co2. Purchased amazon 1 micron filters that look like foam tubes. And they failed to clear the beer at all. . My conclusion is that they are not 1 micron. I have now purchased 1 micron beer filter specific filters. Although far more expensive. And will try to pass the beer back again through these. Filtering is a faff. But if you want a fast brew clear keg beer that can be transported. Filtering is the way.

    • @andrewtitcombe8378
      @andrewtitcombe8378 2 года назад

      Used the new filter as per the original 1 micron . And i can confirm that the foam style filters are not 1 micron. So be sure to get the filters that have like a white cloth/paper inner with a honeycomb outer mesh. And not use the cheaper foam version that look like short lengths of swimming float. They are not 1 micron.

    Hey Gash. I came across this video when looking for ways to reduce oxygen exposure when kegging IPAs. I'd read that StarSan can cause some oxidation and like you I'm keen to go the extra mile to reduce this. How long does a SMB solution remain potent? I push StatSan from keg to keg over and over again and it lasts yonks. Could I do the same with SMB or is it a one time use only type deal?

    • @TWillBeer
      @TWillBeer Год назад +1

      I know it’s been quite a wile and you may have found your answer already. Sodium/ potassium metabisulfite stops being effective after about 24 hours. The free sulfur levels drop below a certain threshold and it becomes ineffective at sanitizing.

    I picked up that same filter you use in the video. I've used it once following your steps to filter 5 gallons of light lager. I'm getting ready to filter another batch and wondering how many times (approx) the filter will last. I only purchases one but think it might be good to have two or three on hand as backups. How long has your re-usable filter lasted?

    Cotton fabrics can Filter by wrapping around the PVC pipes with whole across it and outer PVC pipes etc 2imcbes diameter.....say 3 Inches outer PVC pipes and 2inch inner small pieces housings make brilliant and economical Filter.

    There is a better way to clean the filter. Hook it up *backwards* to the keg that is filled with the sterilizing solution and push sterilizing solution through it backwards and into the drain. It is called back flushing. Then store the filter element in the freezer so that nothing grows on it until you use it next time.

    I dabble in LoDo so I'm used to dosing wort etc. with Sodium Metabisulphate but I've not seen it used like this. Interested in what dosage of SMB you're using in this application? It's very old school as a sanitiser and all the documentation used to tell you to rinse after sanitising with it.

    • @HomeBrewNetwork
      @HomeBrewNetwork  4 года назад

      Old school yes, rinse no, not at all, good drain is all. about half or more of listed.. It was always a good thing, it works. What stopped it was the fear of asthmatics etc that try and breathe it in... thats the good thing about it... the oxy scavenging ....

    I've been told by an experienced brewer that if you're going to filter a beer that you should let condition for a few weeks first. What are your thoughts on this. I'm about to keg an all in brewing kassaki and not sure if I should filter into keg from my all rounder?

    • @HomeBrewNetwork
      @HomeBrewNetwork  3 года назад

      I don’t think that’s right, but that could very well be beer dependent, If you’re beers ready, it’s ready. If it isn’t ready than the conditioning maybe be quicker before filtering than after but this also comes down to size of filter, if its small enough to strip the yeast out and your beer isn’t finished I can see issues. Cheers!

    @josbanse 4 года назад

    You mentioned that fermzilla needs to be tight to get a good seal. That is a false assumption as the seal mechanism on that is based on the collar of vessel pushing the O-ring to the lid so the o-ring only has to be between there and I never tighten my fermzilla any more than light finger tight for easy opening. In this filter ofcourse the lid pushes the seal whent tightened so in this case it does matter.
