Possibly, but I would like to just wash the protein off the top cropped yeast and store it. Since I only brew about every other week. Then I would make a starter from what I have stored when I'm...

I had this exact same thing happen to my last batch. The OG wasn't as high as yours only about 1.050, but I had a little over 5.5 gal in a 6.5 bucket. So only 1 gal of head space. Needless to say...

I had the same issue with mine. After a couple months of waiting with no carbonation I decided to go against my better judgment and force carb with a keg. It did the trick and the beer tastes great...

Thanks for the input. It did look like it might not hold a keg very well. SQ14 is half the price which is a definite plus with my finances. Also sounds like the 10 inch burner flies through propane,...

I have done BIAB partial mashes with great success. I think I would get upper 70 to 80 % efficiency. I just never could do a full AG BIAB because my boil kettle is only 8 gallons, anything more than...

Just finished up the first batch. Brewed an IPA, I got about 52% efficiency. I know that's horrible, but I'm not complaining. Having to make a false bottom out of a pie pan on the fly, I'm glad I got...

Shouldn't IMHO, but I'm still new to brewing. If you had it in there during the boil it should be sanitized. The only problem is when you rack into your keg our bottles you will have to be extra...
