Hi there, my wife got me a mini brew conical fermenter for xmas and just tried it out last night. It didnt come with any clamps so i had to buy some at lowes and seems to do the trick. I put a batch of double IPA 1.080 in there last night and thought I would wake up to some action but there is nothing going on there. Could that be due to a very small air leak or is it possible it might take longer, this is my first beer with a high gravity reading.
I'm also wondering a little about the conical fermenter since it did not come with any manual. I understand this takes out the step of transporting it to the secondary, when it comes to that time do I just simple use the bottom valve to discard the waste and then bottle it? or do i bottle it first?
And one last question, I have to dry hop it in the end. how long should i normally dry hop it before i bottle it? Dont want the valves getting clogged up.
Thanks for any help
