Not-Really-A-Brewing Question

by Eric Olson

Just curious if any of you have carbonated root beer in a keg for your kids. My 5-year-old son (Jake) and I put the sugar, water, and root beer concentrate in the keg last night. I'm picking up more CO2 today. Any idea how long I should charge it so we have enough carbonation--but not too much? Thanks! Eric Olson

RE: Not-Really-A-Brewing Question

by Rick Oftel

I have had a heck of a time getting root beer to pick up adequate carbonation. Possibly due to my water or low sugar levels. If you leave a bunch of pressure for a bunch of time and get the root beer really cold, it starts to carbonate. I picked up some foam enhancer and added it a few cc's per batch. It seems to help but I have never been able to duplicate the long lasting head of a A&W or Hires. -----Original Message----- From: mba-bounce(a)thebarn.com [mailto:mba-bounce@thebarn.com] On Behalf Of Mike Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2005 1:45 PM To: Eric Olson; TheBarn Alias List Subject: Re: Not-Really-A-Brewing Question I just keep adjusting it till its about right, the same as with my beer. I leave a little head space (~1 gal) in the keg, push as much CO2 in as I can (~30 psi), chill it, and wait a few days. You could agitate the keg and have it ready a lot sooner. You'll want to use less sugar if not carbonating with yeast. Perhaps, Glewwe can tell us how he does it. ----------------------------------------------------- Mike Valentiner, Minneapolis, MN On Jul 13, 2005, at 1:26 PM, Eric Olson wrote: > Just curious if any of you have carbonated root beer in a keg for > your kids.

RE: How to filter wort after the boil

by Rick Oftel

One of the challenges with the crud is how much your specific brewery creates and where it is created. 1. The immersion chiller produces cold break in the boil kettle. After cooling, give it 10 minutes of settling and most of the stuff should settle out. Siphon or drain slowly and most of the material remains behind. 2. Whirlpool and let it settle 10 minutes after cooling. Siphon from the edges. 3. Counterflow chillers produce much more cold break than immersion chillers. About the only way to clear up your wort is to collect the mess in a carboy, allow it to settle for 1 hour, and before the yeast kick in, rack to a second carboy. 4. I have use a small SS strainer that can be attached to the end of a siphon tube to exclude crud. The only problem is it can become very slow. 5. One last way I read about is to cool the wort and use sterile air to float the crud to the top of the wort. As you keep the stuff suspended, you slowly drain the wort from the bottom of the kettle. No idea if it works but it sure sounds slick!
