Not sure if this is the best forum for this but I well. So long story short, I have been making 5 gallon all grain batches for a while and have always kegged. Recently I decided to start taking kegs to parties; to facilitate this I purchased 2 3gallon kegs. I typically wait for my beer to...

I brewed this again Saturday and blew through the last of my Centennial :-( LHBS still has 1LB bags I assume from last year? (only harvested once a year right?)

Its been about 5 weeks since I brewed this, came in at 6.3% (1.066OG, 1.018FG) and has been on the gas for two weeks. Just took a taste and its great, even better than last time I brewed it! Now I have to manage to not drink a ton of it before the weekend, have promised it to friends at a...

Brewed this again on Monday, BIAB all grain and followed the recipe exactly and ended up at 1.066 OG. I pitched 2 packs of Nottingham directly into the fermenter and had many bubbles by Monday afternoon. Today (three days later) I go to check and no bubbles, took a gravity reading and was...

Has anyone experimented with this recipe with regards to adding the very dark grains later in the mash?

I was waiting for the 3 gallons to come back in stock to order, ended up having to go someplace else :-(

I just need to decide on the post alignment in the cooler so I can shave the right spots...... decisions decisions

I now have all the parts to make this happen, going to try and wrap it up this weekend or next. I did a quick test fit of the kegs and it appears like others have noted some modification is required. The current AEB 3 gallon rubber bottom kegs have a slight ridge where the rubber protrudes...

Are all old and or pending orders gone in the new site?

the vendor "beverage elements" indicates that post removal voids warranty; that CIP techniques should be used leaving the posts in place

I took a gamble and ordered 2 from another vendor - hoping for the best and will report back when they get here

In theory The point is closed system transfer with no risk of foaming - I was not sold when I saw it at another forum which is why I started a thread here (I always get the best convo here) The draw for me was the no foam, my goal is a quick transfer into small keg to take and serve - foaming...

That is concerning for sure, I will be very sad if the posts dont come off. I actually started a thread asking about that after one vendor told me the posts were designed to NOT be removed. people said I was crazy for thinking the posts may not come off, other vendors said they should. Weird.

For me its going to be to xfer from a 5 gallon keg into smaller 2.5/3gallon portable kegs.

Brew house efficiency is lowered by any loss of volume, so leaving liquid behind in the kettle or losing it to testing, spill, in pump lines etc all lower brew house efficiency. Adding any of these liquid volumes back to raise the efficiency number defeats the purpose of the number. Don't...

Remember there are 2 efficiency numbers - the first is mash efficiency, a measure of the efficiency of the mash and sparse only. Then there is brew house efficiency which takes other things into account like losses from cooling, pumping, trub etc. You can have high mash efficiency but low brew...

I actually bit the bullet today and paid ~100 ea for the AEB Italian made kegs. Seemed better safe than sorry.

If one were to push a full keg of say starsan out first with CO2 then the receiving keg should be 100% full of CO2. Can you elaborate on your pressure release valve?

Here is the pic of the setup, the person (another forum) indicates this creates a completely closed transfer using siphoning (due to different heights)

The description I read about and picture I saw had a liquid to liquid jumper AND a gas to gas jumper and then the sending keg was elevated above the receiving keg and apparently caused a siphoning of beer in a completely closed system (no burping pressure relief). I could not find many other...
