    Headspace in Secondary Carboy

    Is 1/2 gallon enough headspace in a secondary that is dedicated to fruits or other newly introduced sugars? I am worried that the adjuncts I add on secondary will bring that 1/2 gallon headspace up several inches and that the newly introduced sugars will start a light fermentation that may need...

    Cheap place to take online courses?

    I see the American Brewers Guild charges about $9000. Is there anything I can do for cheaper. Also is there a good job outlook for those that finish online classes? I suppose it is a career were I would have to move to out of state when taking careers. Thanks

    Thoughts about a 12'' collar on a 20'' chest freezer?

    Hello, I found a chest freezer to accommodate a fermenting bucket. But I need to build a 12" collar to make it taller. Would putting a 12" collar on a 20" high chest freezer be a good idea? The reason why I dont get a chest freezer with the correct height, is because than the width gets wider...

    How far vertically will a 3-5 gallon per min transfer pump move beer?

    @Rondacker I will be getting a March for my kettle. But to transfer from my fermenter to the serving keg, I will be using a transfer pump that is self priming. Do you think I can self prime from 30ish vertical inches? Thanks again @StokedBrew It's food grade and air tight. It is marketed for...

    How far vertically will a 3-5 gallon per min transfer pump move beer?

    I am considering purchasing a 20 gallon fermenter, but it is 28 inches tall. If I have the transfer pump at the top of that fermenter, will an average homebrew self priming pump, have enough power to pick the beer up 28 inches to the pump? Also will using a transfer pump aerate my beer much...
