Great channel guys ,just subbed and got here from Pierre s channel. Cheers and looking forward to watching your videos. AWESOME.

[@abernethybrothersbrewing3838]

Thanks mate - appreciate your feedback

[@diegocarrillo1298]

Fellas! Your brew looks amazing. I do have a question - Simon said that you put the keg on gas for two weeks.
What was the PSI you put it on for two weeks?

[@abernethybrothersbrewing3838]

Cheers mate - we carbonate at normal serving pressure which for our system is about 12 psi. The comment about two weeks relates to when we believe it is at is best in terms of carbonation. You can force carb in the keg and have it done in 15minutes but you can overcarb your beer. Many ways of doing it - this is the approach we prefer - thanks for watching 👍🍻

[@diegocarrillo1298]

Abernethy Brothers Brewing thank you so much for the clarification. I’m force carbonating at the moment, but feel that it does produce a “soapy” finish - like Simon said. Again, thanks so much! Looking forward to all the videos and great content you guys put out!

[@abernethybrothersbrewing3838]

Cheers mate - really appreciate your comments. Happy lockdown brewing

[@abernethybrothersbrewing3838]

No worries mate - thanks for watching

[@aidanhill]

I see 100g dry hop. So you added another 50g in your keg as well?

[@abernethybrothersbrewing3838]

Yeap 50g straight in the keg in a hop tube

[@aidanhill]

@@abernethybrothersbrewing3838 OK cheers

[@scottlonghurst383]

love your channel guys, I must try this recipe. One question what was your dry hop time and schedule pleae?

[@abernethybrothersbrewing3838]

Thanks mate - the recipe and hop schedule. is included in the notes section of the video. We did then add 50g dry hop straight into the keg and left it in - this worked pretty good 👍🍻

[@TheNslosse]
