Closet farts Use a starter they said. Pitch at high krausen they said. Use a blow-off tube they said. Do two out of three I said.

Not a new idea I’m sure, but I wanted to share how I use my QuickCarb to clean my beer lines after every keg. My intertap faucets have a growler adapter that I connected to a normal flare fitting (there is now a ball lock QD faucet adapter from intertap that would make this even easier). My...

How long do you let your grain drain into the boil?

Just a heads up, I cold crash with gelatins then use a quick carb to pump from my fermenter, through this same 2 micron filter and into my keg. Whole pump out takes less than 15 minutes. I know other people have had problems, but I have had nothing but good luck.

Can we get some pics?

Good call. I don’t get home at a normal time though. But I will definitely start using for weekend brews.

So I documented my grainfather brew day. Please give me any pointers to improve efficiency or shorten my brew day. Aside from a grainfather with a connect control box. I am using a 5 gallon pot with a cheap hot plate and inkbird thermostat. The whole process takes 6 hours total. But really only...

Zlaker, Let me be the first in officially saying "I want to live vicariously through your purchases!". It seems like money isn't too much of a problem to you, so have fun. I would like to suggest that the volume at which it appears you will be brewing will by far outrun your 2 tap kegerator...

I actually I have done some decently dry hopped beer. Off the top of my head I would say I have probably had at least 3-4 oz in the fermenter before. So I guess this is my secret. I have a conical with a mason jar collection vessel at the bottom. I also have a Craig’s list fridge which gives...

I am using a DuPont WFPF13003B cheap 10 inch water filter. I had to find an appropriate fitting. I think it’s a 1 inch NPT. I suck from my fermenter and push through the filter using either a disposable 5 micron or stainless steel 2 micron into a keg. I then throw both fitting on the keg and...

I have had a quick carb for over a year now and I have never been thrilled with its ability to carb properly. I have been very happy with its ability to transfer from my fermenter, through a filter and into a keg. But after reading the whole thread I think I will set it 5 psi higher than the...

I would like to add a like to the idea of using a bilge fan to move air around. Has anyone thought of using a smart home moisture monitor to plug the bilge fan into? It's too expensive as a sole purpose purchase (150$ for a starter kit), but if you already have some, I have a Samsung Smartthings...

Thanks for all the replies. I think I'll give it a few more days at a stable FG. Then kick it up to 70 to play some clean up. I suppose all the damage has already been done.

Well my thought process was since they were still bubbling, they were still alive and active. And I think I was pretty sanitary with all my transfers.

So I made an all grain Kolsch kit from NB using US-05 after a week of good fermentation at 64 deg. and 48 hours sitting at 1.012, I figured primary was done. <side note, the last 2 batches of IPA and IIPA I made with US-05 fermented down to 1.001. and 1.000. I didn't think that was...
