    You have the same problem as I, Gremlins in the brew house 😂😂. Had a runaway fermentation with US 05, I too escaped the fusel alcohol but because it was a pale ale the pH dropped way too low. I'd say the lactose saved the day for ya. That sure would have been a heart breaking drain pour.
    Wishing you and yours a joyful Holliday season.

      I think you're right. Luckily Kegland have agreed to replace the Glycol pump under warranty. I just have to wonder how good it could have been given a proper fermentation schedule.
      Stay safe and have a wonderful Christmas.

    That looks like a fantastic Christmas beer. Thanks for sharing. I may have to try that one next year. That's definitely a big grain bill and will require some planning, for sure.

      I was thinking about that for future high ABV beers. I have 2 options - either an iterative mash or reduce the batch volume. You live and learn, and that's definitely the biggest grain bill I've ever mashed.

    Looks like a great beer. What has been your optimum batch size on the 100L? Have you done a 23 L batch on it yet - How do you think it would go on a single batch?

      The smallest batch size I’ve done was 60L for the Hazy IPA. I got good results for that and the Leichtbier at 65L. I think a combination of batch size and grain bill size are at play. Bigger grain bills require smaller batches. This might have worked better just by dropping the batch size by 5L. I have a single batch Irish Red Ale to do on the weekend so I might try that. I also want to do a side by side comparison with the BZ35 to see how that goes.

    This looks lovely. Do you always carbonate your stouts and then nitro...?
    If so how long
    Cheers

      Yes, if you don't have beer gas which is a mixture of CO2 and Nitrogen, then you can carbonate first and then pour with Nitro. I'll carbonate to about 1.5 volumes to avoid excessive foaming, so 1 day at 15psi and 4 Celsius.

    Hi mate I heard you say that you were on tank water I am as well how did you get your water source water profile Cheers Joel

      Hi, I put in an RO system and booster pump and feed the waste water back into the tank. It’s basically the same profile as distilled water. ruclips.net/video/Tt-TqCdoBXk/видео.htmlsi=DbGYxK1uiHwBL_7v

    Sounds great, sterilisation of the oak?? Do I just soak in stellasan for a few minutes before adding to fermenter?? Can I add them to keg post fermentation??👍

      If you're using oak chips, soak them in StarSan for 5 minutes and shake them up a few times to make sure they are coated. Because I had rum in the barrel to soak into the wood I didn't bother - the rum would have done the trick.
