In relation to the above (i.e using corny keg posts which are attached on the fermenter together with the fermentasaurus floating racking ball to conduct oxygen free transfers) does anyone see any contamination risks in using the CO2 post (via a ball lock connector) to connect my blow off tube...

Yes the fermentasaurus floating racking ball is a brilliant device! In terms of oxygen free transfers it seems unanimous that they are worthy of the effort! Its amazing what we homebrewers come up with! Co2 harvesting during fermentation....! Brilliant!!! The internet seems to think that...

Inspired by my fermentasaurus I have purchased an extra pressure kit (ball lock posts and floating racking ball) in order to perform closed transfers from my other fermenting vessels. For instance from my 30L Speidel tank. I tried it with water and it works pretty well. Obviously I am not...

Done! Works like a dream

Found it! This is my container with screw on lid!

You actually helped me to realise that I should use the current airlock whole to install the Co2 posts and then run a blow off tube from there! This way I will not have an extra whole that will need to be blocked. Also thats not my exact container. Mine has a screw on top so it can hold...

I will not ferment under pressure. I have an airlock as well! I will only push the beer with co2

I have one of these fermentors I am considering purchasing one of the below sets to be taken apart. The ball lock posts will be attached on the lid of my fermentor. I will also attach longer tubing...

As I am a sucker for cheap Chinese staff, so I also ended up ordering the below! If no one else is using these valves, I guess its not going to work, but what the heck, I will give it a try...

So I went to the hardware store today and bought nickel plated brass fittings to test the solution. I will replace with SS bits once I am sure it works ok. In the possible configurations below, I am worried that in option 1, bleeding will create a mess with wort/water spilling on the pump head...

Thanks for getting back! Any suggestions for a more sanitary bleeder?

Its horizontal and is currently seating one meter below the stand on which my HLT and Mash Tun are seating. I tried to put together a drawing if it helps

I want to add parts to my Mark II pump which will make priming on the fly easier. Having seen how this is achieved on the Blichmann Riptide pump I am wondering whether I can just add a T fitting where the bottom of the T will be installed with a bleeding valve. Am I missing something? Has...

I want the benefit of an oxygen free process without the hustle and risk of foaming from the naturally carbonated beer; that one gets from the regular fermentosaurus routine (i.e. fermenting under pressure with a spunding valve). My plan is to use the pressure kit but instead of attaching a...

Now I am home so I cam be more precise with the actual temps. Above is the fermentation schedule if it makes sense. After 28/12 I did a cold crush which I did not document. My diacetyl rest was up to 17c The yeast strain was Mangroves M76 (Bavarian Lager)
