Prepared my yeast starter today as I always do. Pitched my yeast in and about 20 minutes later said to myself, "what is that floating at the top?" Another hour went by and I decided to fish it out. Low and behold somehow a freaking pincher bug got in my starter and decided to drown itself...
Hi,
I have a bucket of food safe glycol in a chest freezer with a pump that pumps the glycol through vinyl tubing and then into a coil system for my fermenter if it gets to warm. I would like to insulate the outside of the vinyl tubing once it leaves the chest freezer so it keeps the cold...
Lucky, wish I had that kind of knowledge.
I'm curious if they can do the double wrapped coils for the hot and cold control lid the Brewhemoth had? One way to find out I guess.
Hi Ben,
To be honest I'm not too handy with making my own parts for the brewhemoth (though I guess it would just be a coiled lid and the spunding valve as everything else you can buy from brewers hardware). Do you know anyone who can make this besides Dale? Would be great to know if there's...
I've got a Brewhemoth fermenter and love it! I just went to go look at a part and when I went to the website it says they've shut their doors. Well SH%T! Now if we need something for the fermenter like a new lid with the coils on it we're screwed. All that money spent on my wonderful...
I moved my kegerator yesterday to a little studio off of my house that I've been remodeling. The studio is very old and the floors are uneven. I put my kegs in the kegerator yesterday in the studio and turned it on. Roughly 24 hours later I popped back into the studio and noticed that the...
I ended up switching away from Soda Kegs to Sanke kegs and haven't had an issue since. I'll never go back to Soda Kegs. To many area's where CO2 can leak out for my liking.
I have a Brewhemoth Fermenter and last night I tried to filter and keg a new beer recipe with blackberry puree in it. What a disaster. After about 1.5 hours of cleaning and sanitizing I tried to filter using a 5 micron. I tried three times and each time I'd get 20 seconds into filtering and...
I'm carbonating in a pressurizable conical for the first time. I just poured in the priming sugar today. Assuming I don't have to mix it since it's one single vessel?
I have a Belgian Dubbel I'll be carbonating this weekend which has been fermenting for 5 weeks. Any issue with using priming sugar with yeast that old? Will it all be dead by now?
