I gulu is the perfect example of why a controlled fermentation is so important

Do you siphon off the trub or does it stay until you finish drinking the beer?
@KyL1920 8 күн бұрын
Hey Mike! I've been watching a lot of your videos recently, especially regarding the iGulu system. In this short Im hoping you could elaborate on the "Jumper" line for dry hopping, adding flavoring, etc. would you be willing to post a video demonstrating how you perform this process? I would greatly appreciate it, as I had the same idea when I was looking at the new S1 videos today. I am making hard apple cider currently, but want to add in some ingredients at the end of brewing. I believe all I would do is turn the CO2 off, bleed the pressure, attach the jumper (pre-sanitized), and then turn the CO2 back on on on the initial fermentation keg, but am unsure if the ideal filling pressure would be ~15 psi as suggested in the new bottling videos. Also, I’m thinking I would attach the CO2 to the empty secondary keg to purge it of O2 prior. Thanks for your time!
@stevechubb4431 9 күн бұрын
Thank you for response. I understand how to vent the beer daily for brewing to 10 psi. How did you control the product to serve at 12 psi? the CO2 control seems to be either on or off fully. Yes, it does show on back the valve handle with gradients but there is no real adjustment…just on or off. Guess I am a little slow. Typically I am seeing the beer when ready to serve at 12.5 PSI or higher. Thank you for any advice

nice tips. my wort starts at a ph of 11, which i bring down to 5 using lactic acid. if i forget, the enzymes fail.
@BitterRealityBrewing 12 күн бұрын
Something is seriously wrong with you pH meter. Your tap water (not recommended), spring water, or even distilled water should all be really close to a pH of 7. When adding the malts, your wort should drop to around 5 +/- and usually lower based on the malts. I would strongly recommend checking this out as it is a great deal at $45 (with a $15 coupon) plus it includes 3 pre-made liquid ph solutions for testing and calibration,. Amazing deal as that 11 really scares me. - amzn.to/461fvP2 Good luck.

I get where you are coming from but if you take a moment you can see they actually have several targets: Keep in mind it isn't a "Brewing System", but a "Ferment and Serve" system. The same way "Brewing Systems" aren't "Ferment and Serve" systems. 1. The person who just wants to buy 5L Kegs and serve it. 2. The entertainer or host of course from Beer, Cider, Kombucha, Wine, to Seltzer. 3. The person that has a small space and simply doesn't want to go deep into the home brewing knowledge level. 4. The dedicated home brewer that loves to experiment and wants to do it on a small scale with minimal labor.

@@PIGGY789 can you explain how you experiement with this? Its a kit with instructions you follow. The benefit to normal extract brewing is that it gets you involved in the process this doesn't At all. It over complicates something that doesn't need to be complicated.

Ptiching a bug is a Brett or like bacteria that would eat the sugar, but usually it is with a yeast to help with the ABV. My more recent joke, is to call it a sweet beer and use it for cooking.

@BitterRealityBrewing 25 күн бұрын
Yeah, I've heard that which is a lot like their fermenters, but I would expect they can easily go 4 to 5 years without issues. The big concern is holding pressure without breaking as plastic of any kind can become brittle over the years mainly due to UV exposure, which mine are exposed to as little as possible without keeping them in the dark. (The garage area is 100% LED lighting which stays off, unless I'm in there.)

It is only 1 gallon and the company doesn't suggest over 1 month. I've started just transferring the beer to another 1 gallon keg, which is extremely easy to do and quick. As for the dry hopping, I fully agree after the 3 to 7 days based on your preference (I like 3 to 5 days),. I would always recommend transferring to another pre-purged keg.
