I may do things a little different, but I always love a good experiment. Here as of late, I have been experimenting with higher pressure fermentation and have adapted a system I really enjoy working with fermenting in big Sanke kegs. You can check that out by copying this link here> http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f13/closed-system-pressurized-fermentation-technique-44344/

I know some people have had great success with long D-rest's of up to two weeks. Also during
this D-rest should I start just allowing the pressure to build up a bit? It looks like if I was
around 15-1...

I was thinking of something along these lines. I ferment in cornies, and it would be simple
enough to rig a peristaltic pump up to a water filter housing. Interesting...This fits along
nicely with how...

Stir plate sounds like a fun experiment, but if you are going to add electricity to the mix why
not recirculate the wort through a packed column of beads. You could use a whole house water
filter with...

Have you guys been reading the yeast immobilization threads? I'm hopeful this could be a new
thing in our closed systems. Very interesting stuff and of course suspect in the brewing world.
So far the ...

Any more tasting news or news all together MalFet? I'm so pumped to see where this goes.
Posted in thread: Yeast immobilization: magic beans of fermentation on 04-15-2013 at 04:42 PM
MalFet, I wonder if this is how they utilize yeast in major breweries for what they call
accelerated maturation? I know Bud uses the beechwood chips to give a large surface area for
the yeast to clean...
Posted in thread: Yeast immobilization: magic beans of fermentation on 04-15-2013 at 04:36 PM
I don't think the yeast are smart enough to know whether they're at the top or the bottom. Top
fermenting yeast just naturally float up while they are actively fermenting, while bottom
fermenting yeas...
Posted in thread: Yeast immobilization: magic beans of fermentation on 04-15-2013 at 04:20 PM
If this works, I'm going back to my stir plate idea for primary fermentation since I won't have
to fight the fallen yeast. Since I'm under positive pressure constantly, I wouldn't have the O2
going in...

Awesomeness! I'm in because if this is truly viable it would work in perfect harmony with
pressurized fermentation. Way cool!
Posted in thread: Closed-system pressurized fermentation technique! on 04-07-2013 at 10:20 PM
I am just thinking out loud but I believe that we could use spunding valve and gauge as
indicator of pressurized oxygen in keg to get predictable and consistent oxygenation (with
constant head space)....

Thanks. I appreciate the comment. I wanted to keep it brief and to the point. I hope it helps out everyone when they start harvesting hops because there wasn't one video on youtube that was about harvesting hops and what to
look for.

It was funny, the night before I kept telling my wife to remind me to talk about the effects hops have on dogs. I completely forgot to mention it the first run through so we had to start over the drying phase and that's when I
included the dog info. That's why there is a fade in to that part of the video. But it all worked out well.

Hey man-

The hops are doing so-so. My Cascade's are about 16 feet and flowered about a month ago. A few of them are starting to look like hops. The hallertau's are another story. They just hit 8 feet and have nothing.

I
don't think I'll get anything out of them this year. I'm banking on next year though!

Are you growing any? I've followed some of your threads in the past. Man, very impressive, especially the tun you covered with bed-liner. Y

Hops are doing great! I am getting a healthy second crop from one of my bines and I am going to get a bumper crop out of another.

Get the house yet? If so (and if not) when are you getting your ass down here to
party?

Good on you! Keep it up. Most of my kilts are from USA Kilts (usakilts.com). They do great work in a few different fabrics so you don't have to worry about messing up your wool tank on brew day! I also have a few I did myself,
some Utilikilts, Amerikilts and Stillwater Kilts.

Wort!

Hey, long time no talk, how've ya been? I kind of disappeared for a while.

Bought a house with my girl back in May, and this last week we just got back from Maui, which is where we got married. The reception will be this
coming Saturday, and it'll be nice to have all of the big stuff over.

Hopefully it should start to settle down soon, and I can work up to my first brew. Hope you don't mind if I bug the hell out of you for info.

Thanks for the confidence builder. I'm really not a bad guy. I just think its ridiculous to comment on English skills in a homebrew ******. This Hefeweizen was my first partial mash and my first wheat. The few others I've done
have been just stuff I've thrown together that I thought might be good... but were not. My first was a Brewers Best American Light which I've been told tasted just like it should. (That doesn't necessarily mean good!) I've just
discovered that I like Hefeweizen and
