    Beer line to transfer and clean often in PBW and StarSan

    I am looking for some good beer and co2 lines that can be cleaned often. I have some older lines and when I keep the soaked for a while they melt? or they develop a thick white goo on them. I assume silicone lines dont do that, I need some recommendation and/or insight! Thanks!

    Unitank - close transfer beer

    I dont have chiller for my unitank, i think i can get by without one, however the issue I am facing is that when i transfer dry hopped beer the transfer is a headache, lots of clogging issues. I have no filter, well I got one that looks like this, below, but the issue is that is too big (14")...

    Good Belly for souring - ph still high

    thank you @VikeMan @Rob2010SS The shots did better than original, will never use the tetra packs/fruit flavored ones. I think the issue here is that face I cannot keep the temp up, pitched at 95F. Also was closed container, no oxygen, I know lacto and souring bugs like oxygen to get sour. I...

    Good Belly for souring - ph still high

    Hello, I decided to do a gose last week, my first one. So I brew 11 gals 50/50 wheat/pilsner barley. I chilled it 95, lowered the pH to 4.5, put in the fermenter and added 1/2 liter of goodbelly, orange. After few days the still stayed at 4.5 (original) and I kind off panicked a bit. I went...

    Conical

    Thanks a lot for all the answers. They are great! 5.2gals is roughly 41.8 lbs (now, alcohol density is less than 1, you are right can probably fit more in there) - do you you counter pressure ? Do you have any good recommendation on avoiding foaming at transfer time ?

    Spunding valve which is best ?

    I use one too, for the first time, and to make sure all goes well and dont overpressure I connected my older spunding valve I made of corny kegs(connected it on the blichman gas post). It has bigger gas gauge that came from a regulator. Anyhow before I digress here the old valve reads 10psi...

    Conical

    Alright I got myself some conicals on blackfriday - It went with Spike, the unitank version. I brew last night I am slightly concerned about the pressure, I have a spunding valve ( went for blichmann's version, due to better price Spunding Valve) . Among the few things I noticed is that one...

    Fermenting in the barrel?

    I have a solera 15 gal keg for years(6-7), I no longer track additions, I usually pull at 6 months after I replenished the previous pull. I always added the worth to the solera. Never added added yeast. My plan was that If the solera gets too sour I would add fermented beer but bever notices...

    SS Chronical 14 gals

    I don't judge, was actually thinking about building a "tipping-safe"cart I can move them around. Thanks for the suggestion to add casters on, and thank all the great comments here. @Zenmeister sorry to hear about denting yours. My fermentation chamber is not tall enough and bummed about that...
