Ok, that system is composed of what? A stone, a co2 gas tank filled and what else? I assume something creates the pressure for the co2 to come out fast in carbonation. Right? What is it? Also, for lets say a 1,000 gallons of beer, its always 30 psi but quantity and pressure of gas, how can I...

thanks a lot!!!

Im doing an investigation proyect. I've been told that in large breweries they are able to pressurize co2 to carbonate beer but they dont have to wait a week like homebrewers for the co2 to mix with the beer. Its within the hour or something like it. How is this fast carbonatation called? That...

Hi, can a beer bright tank be used as a fermentator? I mean, once fermented you can move the beer to another tank, clean the bright tank and then use it to pressurize content. Right?

Can I have 3 gal of beer on a 5 gallon keg? Does it work anyway?

And in big breweries, once they get the beer in bright tanks and add up the CO2, They have to wait for it a week to mix too and then they bottle?

What do you mean by it should be ready to go as you can drink it. Also, how can you bottle and drink that same night, shouldnt you leave time for it to mix co2 with the beer? How you do it?

Maybe im confused, but I thought counter pression filling was that you could take beer, place it on a bottle and inyect CO2 with the level of carbonation you want and then let it settle and drink it. Isnt that how big breweries do it?

If I fill bottles with a counter pression filler, how much time do I have to wait to drink it? How much time it takes to mix CO2 with beer and else inside the bottle?

If you do counterpression beer filling in a bottle, how much time before you can drink it?

When I brew a normal gravity beer for events, I take 3 weeks in primary and 5 - 6 weeks to age, depending on the beer's character. I plan the beer at least 10 weeks out. When you say 5-6weeks to age, you mean in bottle conditioning or secondary fermentation?

Many thanks!

Ok, how.much sugar should I add for bottle conditioning?

How much sugar do I have to add to bottle condition?

Ok, but its ok to do secondary and bottle conditioning at the same.time?. If I add a lot of prime sugar maybe bottle conditioning its going to be ready in a week. Or not?

Can I do a california ale in 3 weeks? Its og is 1.050, its a California Ale of white labs maybe 2 weeks in primary fermentation and 1 week in bottle conditioning with sugar? Its possibble?

Ok, I am a little scared about that because everytime I determine gravity I have to use siphon to take a portion out, measure it and I dont know if I can pour it on the fermentator again because I think its going to oxidate. Do you have a trick to do it without this problem?

So even if the activity on primary fermentator is only one bubble per minute i dont rack? i simply let it there until hits FG and then lager at 40F? Thats it?

Just one more thing stratslinger, in future circumstances, I have to pitch enough yeast quantity by the calculator yeast you sent me. Place on 55-60F until there is no more bubbles, rack to secondary, leave it a week there and then drop temperature to 40F for another week. Thats how you do a...

Stratslinger, im in debt with you, if you ever need anything, im here for you. Thanks to all, i really appreciate all your help!!!
