  I have an MM2 and it will do this if I have the gap set too low. Your knurling may not be
  catching the grain and pulling it in, opening up the gap slightly lowers the angle and improves
  the ability of...

  Yeah I would say the pressure will go through the roof in short order if not vented.
  Fortunately for me I have a relief valve on the Brewhemoth. Is there none on your setup? Its a
  good idea just in ca...

  Count me in.

  I'll have to look for that. I was considering adding some gelatin to the current batch but it
  wouldn't be cold so I wasn't sure how well it would settle.

  I've used pressurized ferments in a Brewhemoth monthly since the spring, and the beer has been

  (degerminated). I knew it needed to be cooked to gelatinize the starch, so first I put some in
  water and trie...

  It should be, but it depends on what you're comfortable with. Its a pretty short exposure to
  the liquid.NB sells some fairly large funnels that have screen filters in them. They're pretty

  I think PBW has something in it that Oxy doesn't. I'll have to try running with hot water.
  Thanks for the testimonial.

  I put the pressure relief valve on right away and set it to ferment at 5psi right off the bat.
  The pressure comes from the fermentation. As for carbonating, it depends on when the
  fermentation winds d...
