Hi
While in an HBS got two boxes of Mangrove Jacks Porter on special at $20 each. I just love Porter type beers but it's been six years since I have done a brew......
So I started by making that old bar fridge into a temperature controlled heat /cool fridge with a STC-1000 and a fish tank heater.........
Cut a hole in top of fridge as fermenter just fits in and the trap door was a good idea but lucky I used tin snips and found the gas pipe.
If I use 330ml bottles and sugar drops I will get sediment in the bottle like the old days....
So carbonation is the next and best way to do it.....
Now my main question is ???
How to Carbonate about 60 small bottles....
Keg King today told me if I get the beer to 1c to 3c it will absorb the CO2 better and use the 19 litre kegs and fittings, but I want to start slowly before getting too much gear...
I can borrow a Soda Stream with the 60L gas cylinder, but the owner said if the water is very cold the metal tube and or the water will ice up..... and will the beer keep enough gas in it if I cap it immediately....
Any ideas as I will be beer drinking till I get one of my still builds done.....
