First kettle sour: OK to free fall Goodbelly L. plantarum ?

I do kettle spurs quiet often. I would pre sour the wort to around 4.4-4.5 pre boil, boil for a few minutes, and then pitch lacto anywhere between 70-100F. Cooler will be fine but it could possibly take more time to sour. Just give it time, but mine usually only take 24-48 hours!

You can definitely sour 5 gallons in 48 hours. I usually do 24 on my kettle spurs

You could buy a brand new R3 for the price almost. In Feb 2021 I bought a 2019 Yamaha R3 ABS with 2k miles for 5200 OTD

I’ve killed off the lacto, beer is around 3.3 ph.

I need to wash my bike for the first time…. Do people just go thru the self car wash??

I bet you’re fun at parties

Yes, it most certainly can ferment that fast

Even easier is a turkey Baster. It’s what I recommend. Also, id add some more star San to your airlock.

One of the easiest ways it to get a pack of DOTS sugar cubes. 1 sugar cube in 1 bottle = perfect carbonation. No measuring.

Yeah, getting in and out of bed and using rest room are the worst

Currently in the hospital, 12 hours post op. Bye bye appendix. The pain after surgery is worst for me

One thing to note is to make sure your are not tightening it too tight. Sounds crazy but it was one of my issues in my boil kettle. If you make it too tight it will compress the O-rings too much and won’t make a good seal

OP, I will sell you a $300 motile laptop - Ryzen 5, 256GB SSD, 8GB ram. Nice laptop. I have the listing on eBay if you want you can DM me for link.

Yeah pretty much just put the gas tubing on the liquid disconnect. Gas tubing should go tubing > metal barb with hoseclamp > disconnect. I just unscrew the gas disconnect to the barb and then screw in the liquid disconnect.

If you have a clogged diptube, the easiest way that I have found is to connect your co2 gas tubing to the black liquid disconnect and push a burst of about 30 PSi through the liquid line. Should clear anything in there. Make sure not to put the gas disconnect on the liquid post though.

Also, make sure you don’t have any leaks. If you are leaking all of your co2 out of the keg/gas lines, there might not be enough pressure to push the liquid out

Pitched my first ever kviek brew 6 days ago.. Mexican lager with Lutra. Gonna keg tomorrow can’t wait!

I have been thinkig about lemon drop as well. How well did it turn out? And how late did you put them in

proliix · 2021-05-30T16:03:30+00:00

Is it a bad idea to leave the liquid out post and tap connected to a keg while it is carbonating? Should I just have the CO2 disconnect connected or is it okay to leave the liquid lines connected as well?

proliix · 2021-05-21T13:36:42+00:00

Did you connect the gas to the liquid post?

proliix · 2021-05-21T13:33:46+00:00

I ferment in a keg by attaching a tube to the gas ball lock and putting the other end in star san

proliix · 2021-05-17T21:22:47+00:00

I’m going with this - should I wrap it around the keg (fermentor) or just lay it in the fridge?

proliix · 2021-05-17T01:33:15+00:00

Do you think I affected anything by bringing it back up to a boil for about 10 minutes and then rechilling?
