Thanks Drez, I got it except for this (I found this in a old archive I have of this thread) How do you do this? What is that coupler attaching to the orange lid?

Thank you Drez77! Your pressure transfer setup really was my first peek at what you can do with a racking can and the right fittings. There is a lot of potential in that type of setup. These post really helped me figure out what I wanted to do...

Thank you! What is the black piece attached to the lid?

This is fantastic! Great design, you must have thought of everything! I'm inspired, thanks! :mug:

This picture could be most helpful...

Hey Drez77 do you mind posting these pictures of your closed transfer setup again? Several of your pictures in this thread don't load anymore. One did and I am very impressed and intrigued and want to learn from your skills.

Thanks Kevin! Do you mind posting a pic of you pushing beer out of these? I'm planning to go with the CurTec and am trying to envision how you get a seal on a hole you create. A stopper? And how about the racking cane? Is it fixed or it moves up and down? Please share your setup sounds cool!

Kevin, How are your CurTec fermenters working out? Looking at 2 myself.

What is with the valve at the top? Did you just put one of the valves where the airlock would go? Any modification required to do that?

I'm looking for solutions myself for your issue. But I want to be able to house two 60L Sepidel fermenters in my chest freezer. Interesting idea, did you do it? Pics?

I've brewed this recipe twice now and both times have been good, although the second time i tried to make 10 gallons of it and didn't hit near the OG; 1.085. I guess I'll be doing it again!

Yes, lagers are more complicated than ales. Do your homework. Most importantly, you need a lot more yeast and to be able to cool the wort to about 50F and keep it there for a few weeks.

I think 2 per sting is the norm, but you can bring multiple strings to a single plant.

I think a key point to getting it to sleep and storing it well is to get the oxygen out. Boil the water for 15 mins or so to get the oxygen out (as well as sanitize it) let it cool, then mak.e sure the jars are all the way filled up. Decanting most wort would help. Pour slowly to avoid...
