Hi guys,
Just bought a 14 gallon blichman conical fermenter from someone on craiglist. I just put my first beer (11 gallons belgian wit) into it last night. Everything is fermenting great as of now. I just had a few questions.
1. How long do you normally wait until you dump the trub?
2. How do you prevent oxidization when removing the airlock when draining the trub?
3. I see I can now save my yeast instead of just throwing it out, how do you tell the difference from the waste and the yeast? And do you just put it in a jar and refrigerate it?
Anything else I should know about from an experienced conical user?
Thanks
