Gibbo Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Which beer(s) has poured best for you from the Brewflo and did you use a caddy when kegging? If you read everything on this forum, you will know I am struggling to get satisfactory results from my Brewflo. So I am in search of the most forgiving/successful/reliable Brewprint and the method of filling that was used. In about a month I will pick up on the best option and hopefully be on my way to enjoying a pleasing result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeks Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 So far my best pouring beers from the BrewFlo are the American Pale Ale and the Coopers Pale Ale. These weren't done with the keg caddy since I only just got the keg caddy and have only used it to keg one brew which was the Lighthouse Pacific Pale Ale. I found that using the keg caddy allows the keg to fill better and I would assume that this will help with to have better pours from the BrewFlo. My American Pale Ale was conditioned for 6 weeks and poured perfectly so leaving it to condition longer will help to improve the carbonation and reduce the amount of head for the beer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Pop Posted February 12, 2017 Report Share Posted February 12, 2017 Gibbo, I think Derek's point regarding conditioning period is a good one. Both my Irish Red and Thomas Cooper's Celeb Ale have been conditioning for 4 weeks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Rundle-Curry Posted February 13, 2017 Report Share Posted February 13, 2017 Gibbo I don't use the caddy and all my beers have poured great, I should note that the kegs normally fill to 100% but the brew I kegged today didn't fill to the top (missing about a good glass in each). I tried inverting etc but the bags look a bit twisted! So in 3-4 weeks I will let you know if they have too much foam. Pete 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damian Ryan Posted February 14, 2017 Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Clean glasses make all the difference as well. I use a brewery cleaner on my glasses now it is a pink powder, then I rinse them 3 times and then they go into the fridge or freezer, obviously every one else's comments about conditioning beer is just as important. One more thing, I have some knowledge of the Baking industry and was very well aware that yeast would die if the temp became too hot. Not sure if this is the same for the strains of yeast used in brewing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbo Posted February 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2017 Thanks Damian. What beer poured best for you from the Brewflo and did you use a caddy when kegging? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damian Ryan Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 It was the APA only poured one beer so far but have another 2 kegs full and another batch in the droid. No I don't have a keg caddy. Seems easy enough to fill a keg with out it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbo Posted March 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Have ended up staying on the pale ale path. Have a Lighthouse pale ale and I kegged one upside down and one right way up. Significant difference in the quality of the fill and in a few weeks will see what the difference is in the pour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeks Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 It is definitely better filling the kegs upside down using the keg caddy. I think you will enjoy the Lighthouse Pacific Pale Ale. I just had mine after 3 and 4 weeks conditioning and it turned out great. If you can't get this one to pour great then there is something wrong!

Gibbo Posted April 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) Lighthouse Pacific Pal Ale is a great drop! Really enjoying this type of hops over the American Pale Ale. So the real question is...Did it pour? Pictures speak a thousand words. First pour Friday night and lunch on Saturday This was from caddy filled keg. The other keg is chilling and will see how that turns out in the near future. Edited April 1, 2017 by Gibbo 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain 3 Droids Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 Are most people pouring beers at 3C or higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Courtney Posted August 18, 2019 Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 In winter, which is about 11 months here...I'll pour beer at 5 degrees maybe 6 out of the Brewflo, summer I had it at 4 or 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeks Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 I have always poured at 3 degrees since I enjoy my beer nice and cold 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
