hopefully this is the right topic line for this .....
i read an interesting thread on the concept in this forum on pressure fermenting, and decided to use it during the secondary phase.
i'm hooked! this batch was pitched in a carboy. when the air lock slowed to one bubble @ minute i racked into a keg added 1/4 cup of beet sugar and attached the spunge valve. pressure built to blow off setting (approx 40psig)
this arrangement sat for a week and today after bleeding off the pressures the gauge showed no more build up. transfered into the cooler cranked down to 34' for 12 hours....just tapped my first glass. very little sediment and the carbonization is amazing, almost nitrogen like with the cascading rolling effect after each sip. very smooth.
this was the batch of my first small BIAB wit bier very pleased!
