Hey sorry to necro this thread but thinking about throwing this together this weekend. Any reason why there needs to be so much excess tubing? Was thinking all the components could fit in a small project box with the ports and switch on the outside to make it very “clean” and to allow it to...

This is a great idea brundog, I am in Florida as well (st pete) and have slowly collecting all the pieces my an electric system but didn’t know what I was going to do with the exhaust as cutting holes in my garage wall would not make the Wife very happy! Do you have that parts list? I would...

Thanks, I actually work right next to Rapp so will try to get over there and check it out.

Yeah I was thinking that too however under pressure fermentation is "supposed" to allow for higher temps, and as I said before I have brewed this batch multiple times before in this temp range with no issue. To further add to it (and to really make me think it is a sanitation issue) out of...

Hello all, I have had an off flavor occur in multiple batches and I am trying to get to the bottom of it. To me it tastes mediciney but my wife says it is just bitter. I thought it could be StarSan left in my fermenter but after searching the forums it seems starsan shouldn't do this...

I just hook the gas out of my fermentor Cornie to the liquid in of an empty (pressurized to about 5 psi) which has my spunding valve attached to it. The empty keg catches any blowoff if I fill the fermentor too high.

Anyone get impatient and crack this one early (as well as at the proper age)? I am interested in doing this one for around Christmas but obviously at this point I don't have 60 days left to age...

Yeah I was on day 5 when I wrote this. Sorry looks like I need to RDWHAHB as its day 7 and I hit my FG today. Gonna give it another day or two to be sure. Quick question, since I didn't follow the last schedule posted (I'm a total newb) I am currently at 22PSI. Do you guys think I should...

never been over to Avid thought heard good things. I work right off of 66th and bryan dairy so usually get my supplies at The Pantry. What kind of setup you working? I am in teh beginning stages of planning a brew setup so just trying to get ideas! :mug:

Nice! Passedpawn, What type of brewer are you? AG or Extract? Gas or Electric?

So checked my hydro again on my APA tonight and it appears to still be at 1.02. Since my last post I capped the fermenter and my pressure is up to about 17psi and holding. I find it odd that my gravity reading hasn't changed at all in the day and now my pressure is holding but I am not at...

Hello all, I am returning to home brewing after a 5 year hiatus (son and daughter being born) and am brewing out of the Tampa bay (st Pete) area. When I started I was an extract only but right before my hiatus I was getting into partial mash. My first brew back is an APA...

Yup so Crane you were definitely right for my case, checked the hydro reading last night and I am already at 1.02 (FG should be 1.015), man that was fast! I turned up my spunding valve to 10 PSI last night and again gave it a few turns this morning in hopes to getting to at least 15 (but...

Yeah, my beer is just an american pale ale, OG was 1.06 final should be around 1.014 according to brewers friend. I am using BRY-97 for the yeast pitched dry (under recommendation from my LHBS). It has been a while since I have used a dry yeast so maybe I should ramp it up and start pushing...

So just wanted to say a big thank you to Mad Scientist and WortMonger and everyone else on this thread! I have my first ferment underway (which is actually my first batch in over 5 years) in two 5 gal corny's using the spunding valve from the original post. I am following MS's pressure...
