Hi all,
I'm trying to come up with a good way to figure out the volume of the beer in the SS Brewtech before I transfer it to the bottling bucket. That way I can measure the sugar and add it to the bottling bucket before transferring. I feel it mixes up better that way, instead of waiting until it's in the bucket and stirring the sugar in. Plus, I don't like risking oxidation.
When I do a secondary in a glass carboy, I have a measuring stick I made that I can put next to the carboy and tell the approximate volume of beer before transferring. But with some beers, like a Hefeweizen, I don't do a secondary. So that's what I'm trying to figure out.
The SS Brewtech has volume markings in it, but I don't know how much of the bottom will be the yeast that won't get transferred out.
Does anyone have a good method of getting a total volume minus the yeast cake and trub out of a conical?
Thanks.
