    Can you leave beer in the fermenter too long?

    Thanks guys... I guess I could have included that it is a session scotch ale. so thinking the extra time in the fermenter would be good for the style....

    Can you leave beer in the fermenter too long?

    Life tends to get in the way and my fermentation schedule seems to suffer. Does it matter much if I ferment for 4 to 6 weeks in place of 2? Thanks, I am thinking it should not matter much as long as fermentation kicked off well. But looking for the opinion of wiser ones here.

    +1 for pump for reasons already mentioned.

    Question on Ball lock fittings

    I have always used pin lock kegs.. but a friend gave me keg (with beer) and it was a ball lock style. So, I bought some Jansamn ball lock keg fittings.. I thought they were universal.. but I cannot seem to get them to connect. I push down, and they do not click in. Any advice??

    Which electric controller?

    I know some folks, including me, love to build stuff. My first shot out, I wanted something fool proof... paid the extra 150 over parts price and got the brew commander. Happy with purchase. Biggest surprise on my first b rewday with it was how quiet electric is..... no roaring propane burners!

    1,000 to spend

    15 gal Brewbuilt kettle, false bottom, blichman brewcommander, steam slayer and wisner bag... call Bobby, he will hook you up and you will be amazed at how easy your brewday is.
