I will be heading to New Orleans in a few week and was hoping to get some input on what local breweries to hit. I did a little poking around but i trust this community's opinion more than yelp haha. Thanks

Ya it still had a little activity left when I moved it to finish in the keg and forgot to let off the pressure. Now it's carbonated though so it saves me a step

OK ya I accidentally carbonated during secondary haha seems OK but it got me thinking which is a scary thing haha

Ya I was just wondering if the added pressure or the extra co2 gas had any effect on the yeasts ability to work their magic

I know that c 02 is one by product of yeast, but I'm wondering if it has any effect on the yeast.

No I don't think your missing anything. They look like a decent cheap pot. Like it says don't expect it to be as good as a polar ware. Also it's probably not a triclad bottom which I like because I use an induction cook top. I also hear it's good for gas because it helps distribute the heat...

So that's my only real worry is be a bit to carbonated. So if I just pull the relief every now and again it should be fine Sent from my SCH-I545 using Home Brew mobile app

Ya but why even put in an airlock Sent from my SCH-I545 using Home Brew mobile app

So I've been thinking about secondary in cornies. I have seen different was to put an airlock on them. Which got me thinking why not much c02 is produced at this point, kegs are meant to handle pressure and the is a relief. So am I missing something here is it OK to secondary ferment in a...

Is it wrong that I think I might like all the equipment almost as much as I like the god nectar it creates. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Home Brew mobile app
