sooo....you think I am safe with my set up? Anyone cold crash with the set up in the OP?

64-65

Wait.....what happens when propane tanks get cold

Well I live in Birmingham AL and I am going to brew beer till they haul me off to jail.

What about the local Home brew shop ALABREW. How come they don't get shut down for selling homebrew supplies? They are located in Birmingham Al.

I see some people will seat the seal with 30psi. I want to do the set and forget method. My question is do you hit the keg with 30 psi then immediately release some pressure down to 10 to 12 psi (I will use the chart to figure out temp/psi) and leave it for 2 weeks?

Anyone use this? Thinking about using it to ferment with, then when its time to cold crash I will just push the button and turn it into a solid stopper. Hit link. http://morebeer.com/view_product/10937/102272/Premium_Breathable_Silicone_Carboy_Hood%3Cbr__%3E

Wait...how is it going to suck up the sanitizer when I cold crash....the sanitizer is a little bit lower then the top of the fermenter

I could see changing the sanitizer if you have so much blow off that crud gets in to the over flow container, it would be exposed to the elements and then start to mold.

I use a No.10 on my better bottles. What is the best way to install these stoppers. When they are wet from a starsan solution they will not stay in, just keep popping out. I have used buckets in the past so this is the first time I have run into this problem.

How bad is it if you just dump everything in?

Why would you not just buy a plate chiller and be done with it?

Get the externally cooled one from morebeer. And then brag to us how bad ass it is.

The krausen fell to the bottom at about day 7. Have you ever put gas in a boat and spilled some in the water? It makes the water look all crazy. Looks like that but not to that extream.

I have seen this talked about before but can not seem to serch/find it. I was looking at my primary fermentor (Day 16) and it seems to have a oily look to the top layer of the beer/wort (whatever its called). Is this normal. I got my tap-a-draft in and was wondering if I should wait some more...
