Has any one ever tried to weld the lid to the bucket and add a 4 inch Tri clamp to the lid. I’m actually thinking about doing this, but not sure if it is financially feasible. It would certainly avoid this issue. Also could add a Tri clamp to pick up tube. If it’s doable financially, you could...

I have a tube attached which connects to the keg. I do a closed transfer to keg, under a little pressure using CO2 (around 2 psi)

the pick up tube is less than 1/2 inch from the bottom of the fermenter already, where do I extend the spigot to?

Just kegged a Vienna Lager from an anvil 7.5 Gallon fermenter. (Closed transfer) Spigot leaked thru-out and stopped when beer reach pick up tube. it left at least 1 Gallon in tank. can I change the spigot fora ball valve and pick up tube?

I can ferment an ale in my cellar. It's at 60 ambient and I have a Keezer which I can lager in. Do you think a smash would work?

Can I make a batch and spilt? Half ale and half lager. If so, any recipe suggestions? I was thinking a smash. Maybe Maris otter and east Kent goldings.

There are a few different radlers on the market here in Canada. I wonder if I can just brew a lager and add a couple of cans of grapefruit concentrate to the keg and rack on top before carbonating

Anyone here have a Google radler recipe?

I have a Belgian wit fermenting now with safebrew t58 that got pretty violent. It took off within a couple of hours too, and by the next morning it was pushing the starsan out of the gallon jug I had my blow off tube in. I have never seen anything like it. Took a sniff when I replaced the blow...

There must be something wrong with your calculations because there is no way you can put 4 gallons in your mash tun and end up with 4 gallons in your BK after first running. The grains are absorbing some of the water.

Good point, I could use Campden tablets. I know it would bring the abv down too. I have been drinking a few commercial beers lately that are 50/50 blends and they are pretty refreshing. The fruit flavor is very strong. I can't imagine it would have been added to the brew at any other point.

I would be drinking it right away. As far as fermentation goes, once it's in the keezer, it will be way to cold for the yeast to be active.

Really! No one here has ever done this?

Has anyone here ever tried to mix with fresh fruit juice in the keg. These raddlers that are being sold today say they are a 50/50 blend and some are pretty good.

I ferment in my bottling bucket and use my spigot to draw from to get my gravity sample. I use blow off tubes so, I don't have to worry about anything getting sucked back into the wort. Anyone see any issues with this method. I always secondary to clear and cold crash. and I siphon into my...

frozen grapefruit concentrate? just poured it straight from the can? this is the first time I've tried this recipe. I will tweek it as I go.

since this is my first attempt at using fruit. what method would you guys and gals recommend. should i boil the fruit or soak it in vodka to kill off any bacteria or wild yeast. either way, would i use the skin and the pith also, or just use the flesh of the fruit. my lhbs is out of the...

it was commercial, but it was only a 2.5 abv. so not really interested in cloning. we just enjoyed the flavor. We'll see how this turns out in a few weeks.

Thanks Brewkinger, I think this is the process I'm going to try. It's better to go with something that already works and tweak it from there. So I will try your approach, except with grapefruit. I will post back in a few weeks how it turns out. Wish me luck!
