So, you’ve got a 10-11 gallon brew kettle already? And a heating element that can boil it? Dude. Get a biab bag! 10g pot won’t be able to do more than a single batch at a time, but practice making beer with what you have then upgrade to bigger when you get better. I use a 20 gallon pot with...

Are you talking about opening 2 active fermentation’s? Best to let the fermenters ride man. Mix before yeast pitch, or at pour time. In the first day or so you’ve got a little play from the yeast scrubbing oxygen, but now all you would do is oxygenate and ruin two batches.

I bought 2 used corny kegs from obk and while both hold pressure, one of the kegs has a broken lid lever and the lid hangs loose on it. I told obk and they said they basically didn’t care as it didn’t make the seal. Still annoying when your filling a keg with one hand and want to seal it while...

My last batch was a raspberry sour, working crazy well. Got an og of 1.075 and mashed at 160-156 for an hour. Co pitched one pack of escarpment lacto into 2 carboys with a packet of saison yeast in each as well. Transferred to secondary after 8 days and pitched 1.5kg of raspberry. Fermented at...

I have a chiller and co2 tanks, but also have two very young kids and an early rise job. I’m not the night owl I used to be and I’m looking for ways to break up the brew day. I should have realized, but the answer above about the break trub going in to fermenter is enough reason to not pursue...

Right. Of course. Yeah, that’s a good enough reason not to do it. Thanks man

I’m looking into getting a 50l pin lock corny keg, converting it to ball locks and fermenting in it with a spunding valve. This is still hypothetical, but I’m wondering if I can put the boiling wort into the keg and apply no chill practice overnight and pitch the yeast at it when it hits temp...
