With overpitching there isn't much of growth phase. Many flavors come from the growth phase. You will end up with an older yeast population. If your pitching on a healthy yeast cake all should be fine. I like to pitch at more predictable rates for consistency.

I made a simple box with this. One seller suggest 5000w max continuous duty. I'll see how it does. The heat sink is open air and gets a bit hot. I'll build a real box someday.

I brewed another 15 gallon rendition of my Red ale yesterday. Finally with half electric. I put a 5500w element in my 60 qt HLT and made the cheapest controller I could. I even used a cheap little pump for the first time. I used to have to bail the hot liquor up to the the mash tun, Denny style...

I screwed mine on with four 6 inch #12 screws. It's tighter than the lid.

IDK. What do you do with your cord? Most thermal plastic cords are junk.

Good cold weather cords are expensive.

You could toss a little sugar in to purge the headspace.

I've used it all. I think the Czechs are keeping the good stuff.

I did get alot of break out of it, and the extract was lower than 6-row. I couldn't find a lab analyst..

I used up a sack of Sekado Czech Bohemian Pilsner this summer. I had to tighten the gap on my mill to get a decent crush. The extract was still very low. I didn't make a Bohemian Pilsner with it. Just Hefeweizens and a few basic lagers. I prefer Castle Pilsner. I have Great Western Idaho Select...

Kegland says it can be used sideways. You can pour the last glass right out of the bottle.

I'm thinking of a four tap tower on a minifridge with these in it. I have got to go fridge shopping. It might work.

Before lagering you need all fermentation finished. You could pressure ferment with a spunding valve to carbonate it first. If it's fully carbed all you need is a cold place to lager it. You wont need any gas until it's ready to serve.

I use one with the keg on the hump in my keezer. The lower kegs are too tight together to fit a glass in under the tap. It would probably be fine in a fridge. If I added a hose to it it would take both hands to use. I think it's best for portable kegs. It doesn't drip much at all. The tap works...

Yeah I got a few. With the tap head it can be used as a keg. It's a big pop bottle.

You made me imagine my 60l fermzilla exploding. What a mess. Good thing it's spunded and has a PRV. Not going to happen. After all this is a little all rounder.

You probably could pressure ferment 6L in one of these.

You could see that in a Oxebar bottle.

When the gas is connected to the beer post you can hear the gas gulp in to the beer. Shake it and you can hear it force carbonating. When you can't hear it going in it's carbonated to the temp/pressure. This works on the gas post if you just roll it on the floor.

Morebeer sells six 5lb bags of base malt at a discount. They have it pre-packaged in boxes ready to ship. It's cheaper than three 10 lb bags.
