I am a balls kinda guy. Just stick with a single style to use the same connections (and parts) to keep it simple.

2 weeks if under 1.05 OG, otherwise 3+ weeks. But I don't have the (most impressive) 40k posts. Cheers.

I just got paid to clear 50 from an old Pepsi warehouse. Not really... Great find!!!

I've seen the screens as I've pick up the weldless valve. Not sure if the ability to filter hops and cleaning it is a big deal as we've been using a mesh bag to filter and contain the hops.

If you back sweetened and primed without a campden tablet (sodium or potassium metabisulfite) then you will need to pasteurize shortly. This may be a day or a week+ depending on factors. Cider gets better with age but I've had some good "samples" after 60 days total time.

A 20% ABV monster like Dogfish Head 120 would require nearly a year to be drinkable. Hops are added every few minutes of the 120 minute boil. In addition to dry hopping you also add sugar and a 2nd yeast pitch. I see they've scaled ABV down a bit recently...

Great value deal on Groupon for Midwest Supply Kit and first recipe kit for $64 +s/h. Includes $25 certificate for 2nd recipe kit order. http://www.groupon.com/akron-canton/deals/midwest-homebrewing-akron?utm_medium=afl&utm_campaign=4534259&utm_source=rvs

I just picked up some corny keg fermentation lids (pressure valve removed to fit a #3 bung and airlock/blowoff). Previously picked up a dozen of those 9.99 kegs (w/o lids) so this seems like an economical choice to go "all stainless". Corny keg volume measured about 5.5 gallons so I'm planning...

Why all the BMC jokes?

Most yeast will die down after 3-7 days. Give it the 2-3 weeks and it sounds like you're on track.

I've hot some spicy heartburn ale. It was 2nd runnings on an iipa but I can't give the stuff away.

Alcohol content may increase by 0.2% with bottle conditioning. It depends on how much sugar is added and fermented for carbonation.

EBay. Mountain_man89 as someone mentioned on page 1. Got a 10 pack for $60 and 1 leaked. He sells them as singles too.

Good point. Fermcap S should be filtered out. Fercap AT does not require filtration.

I received 6 kegs in the mail on Tuesday. All look decent and the handles were actually intact. Haven't pressure tested as some of them will strictly be used as 2ndary fermentors. Fermentor keg lids with airlocks are just 9.99. Just made a 5th order today.

Looks good. I've never ran oxiclean through the lines; just sanitize. And force (over) carbing is rolling the dice but it's easy to adjust. Cheers.

This is a good reason to use a muslin or small bag for your hops. It also makes cleanup easier.

I believe my mention of homebrewing was a positive when probed about hobbies. She asked to be my best friend and mentioned her love of microbreweries. 2nd interview is next Tuesday as an assistant purchaser at a huge greenhouse. Also discussed growing hops.
