Why would you still auto siphon with the brew pot having the valve? I'm so damn confused

Just got surprised with a 15g Blichman boilmaker brew pot for my bday. After the excitement wore off I realized I knew next to nothing about these beasts. What's the most common method of transferring to the Carboy? Do I need a special fitting or just attach siphon tubing? Does the bottom do a...

Lol poor guy

I hear ya buddy. IT Analyst by day, wife's doormat by night. She doesn't work, but I like to consider the 8 hrs when I'm home she ruins a career.

Cheers! Right there with you. Let me know if my wife can come hang out with your crazy.

If you nail this you should shoot Sam your resume and availability for a start date.

Is there ever a time where too much yeast could have adverse affects?

Lol busted

Let's say I know this guy...he went to pitch his yeast and it appeared to run down the inside side of his Carboy. 24 hrs, this same guy goes to check on his baby and realizes it was actually on the OUTSIDE of the Carboy in a beautiful sticky fashion.

Thanks. I was thinking along the same lines

I'm brewing a 60 min clone today...yea for the hop head Sunday! How are you doin the honey? I would like to do a hopslam clone soon

Haha. Different strokes for different folks. I like to strain mine through the strainer in the Carboy and then place the Carboy on my wifes Bosu ball, lol. It works pretty good, just flip it upside down with the round part on the ground and flat side up. This let's me rock the Carboy easy...

Yeast is a growin right now for a 60min clone tomorrow

Tell us how it goes! Waiting on my GBH clone right now.

I think u nailed what went wrong. I must have more patience with the next batch, but had people telling me since it was a wheat it needed to be consumed young. Oh well. Lesson learned. 3-4 weeks in primary!

Cold, got my kegerator pretty low for it. Pretty constant at 38*
