The difference in Co2 volume will be negligible but, if you adjust for the lowest temp, eventually the beer will find equilibrium at this low point and head pressure will increase at the higher temp to maintain Co2 levels in the beer. Assuming you are leaving the tank connected the entire time...

Did you add the finings? Reason being, if you did the air lock bubbling could just be Co2 gas escaping from the beer, not fermentation. What kind of finings are you using?

I have a similar faucet arrangement (other side of the house) and the quick disconnects do make things much easier.

Just wanted pass along an update. I sealed up all the seams inside the freezer using an exterior grade silicon caulking. I'm using both Damprid and a mini dehumidifier inside my (9 cubic foot) freezer and am now happy with the results.

Lately my mistakes have all been linked in some way to kegging. Yesterday I had fun moving the tap from one pressurized keg to another. When I did this, leaning over the keezer, the poppet on the old keg didn't close and so, the beer that was in there (English Barleywine) started spewing out and...

What temperature are your bottles at? I'd uncap one bottle, add some carb tabs, recap and gently swirl the bottle. To be safe I'd put the bottle in a sealed bucket or other container and keep the beer above 70 for 2-3 weeks.

@ eltorrente, here let me jam this piece of junky looking tin foil on my $300-$500 brewing setup! Couldn't resist sorry.

back again :)

LOL, you got me on that one...

Doesn't work, the angle on the neck is to shallow.

uhhh, I'm out...:D

Keg or bottle? How long have you been carbonating?

Well, be sure to take readings from this, and future, batches so you can compare numbers. I'd be interested in seeing how this stacks up against a semi-fly/batch sparge (which is what I normally do) on efficiency.

What do you usually get on your mash efficiency? It would be nice to see a comparison between this next batch and previous batches.

I assume your limited do to the size of your mash tun and can't fit all the grain in at once? You might see better efficiencies if your second mash is done initially using clear water (first 1/2 gallon only), as this would take into account the grain absorption, then with the grain well...

If your going to try and mash %30 in the boil pot, you may want to think about using clean water to get a better extraction. Do you have a plan to maintain the proper temp in your boil pot to ensure a full conversion of those grains? Might be simpler to try just swapping out the %30 grain...

No collar on mine and the seal is good, I know a good part of the problem is me, as I'm digging into the thing, rummaging for bottles. If it's an expectation issue then I'm ok with that, just curious if something like a mini dehumidifier can keep up.
