No u

all gone thanks JP

I'm going to consider this done unless something changes. Thanks folks.

Baby on the way and no room for the brewing supplies. 8 pepsi style corny kegs that all hold pressure. Some might need new orings. $20/each. 1 commercial keg I converted to a "Keggle". Hole cut out of top and a hop screen at the bottom with a 1/2" ID valve to barbled nipple. $30 w/ propane...

Yep, y ou could use something like a foam inhibitor like Foam Control of the Fermcap-S listed above.

What? I've poured boiling wort into a flask a billion times, and then promptly dunked it in an ice bath to cool it. Never had it volcano.

the 120 was fantastic. although half a bottle got me blitzed. I like the 60 better than the 90, but the 120 better than the 60 or 90..

It's a yeast energizer. Like Servomyces(sp?). It's yeast hulls (dead yeast) and some other ingredients to speed up fermentation. They're 1.09/ea or 6 for 5.99

I think google. Although I don't recall. I certainly spend more time on greenboard (it's the first board I signed up on)... but this one seems to be more active as of lately! Plus I've met Sudster and homebrewer_99 off here, both fine gentlemen!

there was a nice webpage i bought both DAP and SuperFood from. valleyvinter.com AFAIK

That's probably a bit over-zealous. I remember reading (can't recall where now) that no more than 10s of pure 02 is needed for 5 gallons of wort. Anything over "X PPM" (whatever X was) only slowed the yeast down from their aerobic stage... It's a bit hazy to me since I haven't brewed in half...

You may need to brush that stuff out. I left oxyclean solution in a small spray bottle I had and it encrusted up so bad I tossed it out. It also ruined the pump on the spray nozzle..

So I got 6 kegs from RCB. I rebuilt one, new orings on the lid and the posts (5 orings total per keg)... I clean it, toss beer in it and seal it. The lid leaks a bit.. ok nothing new I've dealt with that on my other kegs. Flipped the lid around.. nope.. a day later the keg has no pressure...

I got mine on sale (7lb hopper) for 109 shipped during national homebrew week or something like that. I just re-checked the gap on it after using it for a few batches. Turns out one side was adjusted way wider than the other. Could be a possible source of my efficiency problems. Anyway, make...

There is a point where too much air stops yeast growth, too.

Oh ok :rockin:

The 4911/4912 will fit 2 soda kegs and a 5lb co2 tank if you arrange it right. As far as door taps, yeah they're cheaper. Even cheaper yet is cobra taps. No drilling! ;) Nothing is sexier than a tower tap with a nice tap handle and seal forward faucet, though.

who's food grade guy :p

This method is known as cold pitching. Check it out. Works just fine. (Fridge to fermenter with little to no warm up).

Kreusen smhmeusen. I let mine ferment until it stops, toss it in the fridge till I need it. I then decant off as much a liquid as i possibly can, swirl the crap out of the yeast cake and dump it in my fermenter cold. There's a great number of resources on cold pitching.. check 'em out.
