    Fermentation fumes

    Lol. Truth in that. If my garage didn't have a project car in it I could build a brew house in there. Some day soon I hope. Thanks guys.

    Dump it or let it ride?

    Only reason I'd say pitch after the ride is to be sure you aren't transporting beer around in a location that could have a high ambient temperature. Especially if you are trying to brew a beer with a low fermentation temp required. That's my opinion anyhow. No need to shock your yeast during...

Not sure I'd want to risk the effort though. You could try building a gravity unit that fits in a corner of...
