  • In this video, Brad splits a Festa Brew Continental Pilsner Kit into two FerMonsters and ferments them using two popular lager yeasts: W-34/70 and NovaLager. The goal is to determine which yeast performs better when fermenting at room temperature. Given that the Festa Brew kits are 23 liters, he uses two 11.5-liter FerMonsters, which are then transferred into Kegland Oxebar 8L kegs.

    Cut the corner of the box out and pull the nozel out then close up and reseal the box. Easy to pour then

    I had an epiphany on my last brew day thinking about the previous discussion of weight in the floating dip tube. I have some of those carb caps in stainless, and I was taking one apart to clean it. The inside barbed part is the perfect size and weight to fit into the screen pickup. And the weight was perfect.

    the angle cut on the hard tubing is to help push it into the little silicon elbow. but yeah as others mentioned just replace it all with silicon and you can ditch the rigid and the elbow

    try leaving the bag in the box so you have a rigid container to pour from.

    I've had great luck brewing at room temperature with Novalager under pressure. I'm still looking for a comparison between a room temp Novalager and a traditionally done lager.

    Does Paul know you served up some mold beer hah! Great video though guys! As for a stand for the PET kegs, just use a 5 gallon pail. I’m surprised at the results and expected the Novalager to finish cleaner.

    I fucked up a few weeks ago and pitched nova at 27c (thought it was 21) and then my STC1000 failed and my fridge didn't work properly so that fucker rose to 30c but thankfully it was under 20psi.
    the final beer is, honestly, surprisingly, fine? a cold IPA with a lot of cascade, centennial and chinnok, but no weird off flavours.

    It's hard to watch the amount of bad advice you offer to new homebrewers. Your video could be the reason this hobby is slowly dying. Brewing a lager is not easy and requires technique and experience. Don’t make the European ancestors cry 😢

      Nonsense. The point of the hobby isn't to appease you. They keep it light and try things. Some are pretty great ideas, some don't work...kinda the point. And they're very clear that some of the things they're doing are experimental. If you don't like, don't watch
