I made it basically the same way the slit silicon gasket is made. I used a food safe silicon sealant to connect it and a bunch of tape to hold it together. Are you planning on welding or using some kind of adhesive or magnet to hold on the clips? I'd love to get rid of the binder clips and add...

I had a lot of trouble sealing mine over quite a few batches. I finally got mine to seal by not cutting the tubing and just making a ring that goes in between the lid and kettle. This creates a lot of room for compression along the kettle. I even pumped it full of co2 at low pressure till the...

Has anyone had any success keeping the near contious batches going? I am considering getting a few more 1 gallon primaries and quite a few 1 gallon secondaries and constantly refresh fermentation. If anyone has done this I'd love to pick their brains. How long do you think you can get the yeast...

I think a website or maybe a large PDF like book would be really useful. Anything with a search function so I can go back and re-read for more information or if I've had a few too many while learning.

Making 2 gallons of mead this weekend! One Orange blossom honey that is going to be aged, and one is going to be cheap costco stuff I'm hoping to turnaround in about a month through near perfect fermentation.

Use it as a fermenter!!

I've found come and brew it radio to be pretty good. They have a few back to basics episodes where they talk about one topic for the whole 90 mins and a few are on extract

So just an update. With age the sourness has really mellowed out. It still has a little punch to it, but it tastes really good now. There is a weird flavor to it still, but it honestly might be the peach bc it kind of tastes like a bruised peach. Gonna give it more time and see what happens, but...

https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/index.php?threads/646313/ I am looking into basically making a cheap ss brew bucket out of a kettle. Seems really easy and the people who have done it seem to think it's really nice. I have purchased my materials for 2, but haven't put it together yet. All in...

The original ones this post is about. The stainless kettle converted to a fermentor

Alright I'm ordering everything I need. I'll update everyone on how the build goes and how air tight I got it. Thanks!

I know this is old but it is such a good idea! My question is, are these sealed well enough to be good for making wine as well? It would need to to prevent oxidation over a long period of time before bottling. About 2+ months. Any replies are appreciated. I am going to at least make these for beer

I was considering making a few of these primarily for beer, but also for doing wine. Are they air tight enough to prevent oxidation over a long period of time?

Been a while but any update on this?

I did. I froze them for 3 days. Thawed them and then did a water bath till they hit pasturization temp and then held it there.

It very well could be. The tartness should mellow with age though right?

Personally if I were you I would secondary it. My first home brew came out really cloudy in just a primary and I have a lot of beer geek friends and even though I know no one really cares I still cared that it was cloudy.

Update. I just opened another bottle and the taste isn't as sour as it was. It was more tangy. It also has a almost fresh taste to it. Almost like water with too much lemon and some kind of fresh fruit. Even with the sourness it isn't bad to drink now. Just not the best. Thanks for everyone's...

God I hope not. I was super anal about my sterilization. I should also mention that it took me about 45 minutes to an hour to get my temps down to pitch and I did pitch a little warm about 80 degrees. infection is possible or maybe even something wild got into it while I was cooling.

Ye I did do all grain and no acid was added. I also have to consider that I haven't tested my water, but know it is very hard which has an effect of pH
