i'm in!! thanks!!

I would not use CO2/nitro mix tank with this. I would use standard CO2 tank with the QuickCarb. Once the beer is carbonated you will be fine to hook it up to your nitro system. The nitro just provides the extra pressure needed to push the beer through the small holes in the tap.

Nice vid philipCT. I'm totally getting casters for my conical.

Here is the You Tube video I made. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOn5owOt2h4&t=26s

OK, I made a video of how I am burping the conical fermenter with CO2. After the beer is ready I will let you know how it came out. I also want to brew the same batch again so I can compare side by side. Thanks for all the reply's. https://youtu.be/QOn5owOt2h4

Well, I guess not many brewers are doing this, I will experiment and post my results. Thanks,

I have heard of commercial brewery's burping their fermenters with CO2 a day or so after dry hopping. This re suspends the hops in the beer to maximize the dry hop utilization. This seems like a good idea to really get that great hop aroma. I was wondering if anyone is doing this with their...

Thanks for your thoughts. I do have the parts to connect the CO2 to the dump valve. I'm wondering how other people are doing it. How much pressure (I know it needs to be under 5 psi)? For how long? How often? If its worth the trouble? I saw an interview with Mitch Steele, the...

I believe the largest grain bill I have done for a five gallon batch so far is about 18.5 lb. Also when I say 5 gal batch I'm actually trying to hit a 5.5 gal after boil. The 10 gal system will do a 5 gal batch just fine, you just have to keep a closer eye on it. In fact most of my brews are...

Doing a 5 gal batch on a 10 gal system isn't the eazyest thing to do. Here is what I do hope it helps. I do a 90 min boil on all my 5gal batches witch gives me more water to cover the boil coil. I also drew a line on the site glass where the coil is so I can keep a good eye on it. My goal is...
