Hi all, this is my first post and after reading some of your posts, you've inspired me to make a post.
Well I have brewed before, many moons ago. Since coming out of the wood works again I have bought a keg setup with gas etc.
I put my first batch down (9 days) of brewcraft and kegged it, suggested gas was 230KPa in the fridge for two days (48 hours). Which was done. Pouring pressure 50-70KPa.
First glass was a lot of head, so was the second. I ended up pouring a few beers by overflowing the head until the desired head was achieved. (AND STILL DOING THIS) which is obviously wasting beer. Then I turned the gas down, same problem. Turned the gas off, poured a little better, but obviously much slower. I have turned the gas up slightly and I have since worked out that half the problem is when I hit the trigger (handle) on the gun it spits, therefore creating turbulence, therefore more head. Any suggestions?
I am not to worried about wasting this keg, as the beer kit came with the fermenter. But the next one I spent a bit more on ingredients and don't want a repeat.
Lastly, after 10-15 schooners the beer is still cloudy. I put finnings in with the yeast but not sure how to clear it???
Thanks very much for any help.
