I dont see why it would be a problem. Just make sure the sanke tap is sterile and use a spunding valve or blow off tube. Might be a good time to check out the pressurized fermentation thread. I have also made good beer with water cooler jugs and the old ones were glass if you are lucky...

Any updates?

You could probably leave off the outer shell if you were looking to save space in the keezer.

I bought my pub kegs used for $10 each. They are much different from the ones that exploded. The pub kegs have a big soda bottle inside a heavy plastic shell. the thin inner bottle would blow at a much lower psi than outer shell. I don't use a cip system under pressure like the pros so I...

I think Pubkegs are good up to 60psi so you can do whatever you normally do to carb. edit: Confirmed 60 PSI at mfg website. http://www.rehrigpacific.com/products-and-services/rigid-packaging/pubkeg/brewers

I usually use co2 to carb.

You can control the heat stick with a raspberry pi. They are cheap and DougEdey wrote a web based app already. Check out https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f170/strangebrew-elsinore-raspberry-pi-based-brewery-controller-396627/

I havent used one 10 times yet (I purchased 10 and have only used a few of those so far), but since they were used I did see some beerstone build up. The good news it is really easy to any kling-ons and I use the spear to knock it loose. Then it is just PBW and star san.

I have been using them for about 6 months and I am very happy so far. The sanke spear unscrews and gives you a 2" opening to fill/clean the keg. You can buy them new here http://www.homebrewing.org/5-Gallon-Plastic-Pub-Keg_p_3197.html but I would check for used ones first.

Check out page 5 of this thread and read on. Then make sure your Raspberry Pi is configured as a LAMP server. To do this I installed Wheezy then ran the following commands from a terminal. sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install apache2 php5 libapache2-mod-php5 sudo apt-get install...

2 questions about yeast preservation. 1) is immobilized yeast at risk when refrigerated? Seems like we could store indefinitely in water as we don't have to worry about them reproducing. 2) would they be shelf stable at room temp in a sealed jar with water? since there would be no food...

Yes, Wortmonger brought this up and suggested this might be the method BMC uses for advanced maturation. He said he might try this with his pressurized fermentation setup but I dont think he has posted anything about that since. I was thinking, like you suggested, to start in primary for 2...

well we know they can work 4000 hours continuously according to http://www.fao.org/docrep/w7241e/w7241e0a.htm Also talks about flash fermentation...hmmm

Reverse spherification sounds cool. Maybe you could use it to put a coat on your existing beads.

Did you clean the yeast balls before using them? Do you think there could have been some hitchhikers on the balls that caused the yeast cake?

That's a good idea web is also cross platform.

Lol

Reverted to the old version and it didn't work. Then I tried again last night and it worked again. I think there must have been a network issue.

Looks like I have to root my phone to run alogcat. Is there anything else we can use to track this down?

I had placed a copy of the launch script in the root dir to cut down on the number of steps to get started. When I launched from within the original folder web worked. Working on Android now. It was working before I loaded the Splash Activity apk
