I guess thats what I was referring to. That fermentation finished faster and I turned up the temp as recommended by the yeast I used

Extract but its been 12 days. I hit my final gravity and transferred to a keg. Not sure if it is right but if not lesson learned. I have read that fermentation under pressure is faster. I was reading where some do lagers under pressure in 2 weeks which os much shorter. The gravity was good and...

Haha. We will find out soon. Its been in a keg for 2 days and going to poor my first cold glass tonight! Cheers

No! Don't say that! How do you know if you get bacteria? This looks muddy anyway and have no idea what it should look like. Isn't pet material food safe anyway?

Forgot the pics!

Update... So I pulled my first dry hop down yesterday. This would have been day 4 since pitching the yeast(day 3 since first krausen) and everything has changed today. Krausen is thin and lots of activity! The color is lighter and seems to be a lot of yeast falling. I was able to squeeze the...

I am also new to brewing! I pitched my yeast on the 11th. Just to ease your mind I will share some pic. The first is the 13th, second that afternoon and the third was this morning. I have a few different things going on. 1. I have a old refrigerator that I use as a fermentation chamber. I would...

I hooked up the spunding valve as soon as I sealed the fermentasaurus and had it set to 30 on the one I have. Sounds like I have the same one jaymosbeershack has. I knew where to set mine because I had tested the vessel with co2 before brew day and used the gauge to figure what would get close...

The brew buckets looks pretty good. Can you ferment under pressure or airlock only? The fermentasaurus is really a steal though at $119. From what I have seen the 2nd gen is going to be much better though

I do love the fact that I can see what is going on! The reason I have all of this on the first brew is because I did a lot of reading and watching video's to find what I thought would be the best method. Not wanting to bottle condition lead me to the fermentasaurus, through several different...

You could pull the magnets off and let the hops drop but I think I going to leave them attached and just slide them down. That way I can pull them back up out of the way when I transfer from the fermenter to a keg

I wondered myself what this would do to the hops! I will keep you posted. This being my first brew I don't have anything to compare it to. I did extract but didn't put the boil hops in bags. I think next time I will to help keep that from making it to the fermenter. I already like the...

Some had a post on here about magnets and just made up my own based on what they said. I stole it from a very old thread about the fermentasaurus. It works good. Earth magnets from amazon, put two in a small piece of food saver bag and sealed them. Bag were to small to vacuum seal but the main...

Update... Seems to be fine guess I am paying way to much attention to it

Yes this my first brew. Fermenting under pressure to keep it sealed off. After fermentation it will be transferred to a keg using a closed loop. No oxygen other than what little amount is left i. The sealed keg. That is hops in mesh bags held up by magnets. Others have had trouble using the jar...

This is my first beer ever. Just put it in the fermentasaurus Saturday night. I sealed some earth magnets with a foodsaver and sanitized them. Not sure if it going to work but I will try to let you know. This has the pressure kit and hops were placed inside right after the yeast was pitched

Thanks for the advice. It took about 24hrs but it looks like it is doing fine[emoji2]

No airlock. Using a sealed pressure system. Not much pressure built up yet though. I have a spunding valve on the system. The valve is open and has been that way since before the yeast was pitched. The bottom ball is just trub I believe. Just nervous that I screwed up the first batch. I have the...

No I didn't use a starter. This is my first time and didnt want to try doing that as well. It was a pure pitch liquid yeast. Yeast and wort were both about 73°F. I have a fermentasaurus and I dont see any activity but then again dont really know what to look for either

Got my first brew in the fermenter last night and pitched the yeast. Used WLP095 and it says should start in 5 to 15 hrs. Fermentation doesnt appear to have started yet. I let my chamber cool to 68 and it is holding steady. Is it normal for it to take longer than the 15 hours to notice the...
