    Corny Lid with tri clamp

    I understand now. Interesting. I’ll have to try this. I’ve tried searching Google and everywhere else for a way to do this and couldn’t find anything.

    Corny Lid with tri clamp

    But you have to be able to weld the loops for the handle no? I already have the hole saw that Bobby sells, along with the Weldless tri clamp ferrule. I added one to my spike kettle for a steam slayer and CIP.

    Corny Lid with tri clamp

    I want one of their conicals pretty bad. I’m trying to convince myself it’s a bad idea. How is the quality? I haven’t ordered from them. Let me know when you hear back about pricing on these. This would resolve my issue with dry hopping while fermenting in my torpedo keg.

    I too thought the stringy/ strand like things at the top looked odd, along with the under surface floaters. However, while looking at it, I did see a small bubble here and there rising to the top and I assume that is carrying debris up to the top. I was actually going to taste it today, but when...

    Soo I already made my batch of beer and pitched the dry yeast, but I kept this around just to see what would happen. This is what it looks like today. The floaters that are hanging out maybe .5 inch below the 4 Liter mark are kinda odd looking. They are very still. Almost as if something is...

    Corny Lid with tri clamp

    I have been in search of something like this for a long time. I wasn’t able to find it on their website but I assume it’ll be up soon? Posting for others that may be interested. Not sure why the tri clamp pipe is so tall though.

    Drill for grain mill question

    I bought a Dewalt corded drill from lowes for maybe $50 serveral years ago. Before I even started brewing. When I bought a grain mill, didn’t think twice about it, hooked it up, worked perfect. I know 0 about the specs of my drill. All of my tools are corded just because I don’t like to worry...

    Vacuuming oxygen from a sight glass on conical fermenter

    A lot of people put a similar sight glass /butterfly set up on one of the tri clamp ports on top of the conical/ unitank for this purpose. The best way to dry hop IMO.

    Just realized, I hopped a 10 gallon NEIPA with only 5 gallons worth of hops! DOH!

    I just made a hazy IPA and I added 22 OZ of dry hop into a 10 gallon batch. I added the hops to the fermenter prior to transferring the wort and pitching yeast. Like you, I have no way to do an oxygen free dry hop. So yes, I would say add more dry hop. May not be the same result as the full...

    Welcome to the hobby. I’ve been brewing for a few years now and am still enjoying it as much as when I started. I just read your post about a starter. Good luck on your brew day!

    DON'T worry . . .

    I’m glad I read through it was worth the laugh. Thanks for sharing. I kept thinking to myself how thankful I am for BIAB.

    Stainless CFC Choices

    @eric19312 what are your thoughts on this chiller after a few months of use? I’m considering the stout as well. I have a stainless Hydra currently.

    I have a hard time with thinking that it’s the boiling in the flask. This is how I’ve always done it. This time I boiled for 30 minutes. I also switched from the bottle of star San (mixed with RO maybe a month back?) back to rubbing alcohol (I’ve used this for every starter I’ve ever made prior...

    Was the cry face for my choice of yeast? I’ve read a bit of criticism about it but my local home Brew store doesn’t have the greatest selection. The funnel strainer is for a future effort at an all grain starter. After the mash, I will funnel strain the wort into the flask pre boil. Dog hair...

    I think it was off, and had been off for a while at that time (stir plate). It was 1 pack of yeast to 4L of wort. But yeah it really took off. Pitched at maybe 11PM and the bubbles were rising like that in the morning. It was a 200 billion cell pack. I honestly didn’t shake at all to add oxygen...

    This one was imperial A38 Juice. Took off quick and strong. You say go for it even with the confirmed hair? I’m almost certain that hair was boiled though. Smells good. Haven’t tasted

    I feel like I’m taking over thing thread, but this is clearly infected right?

    I thought I was serious about about cleaning / sanitizing sounds like you guys are levels above me. So what would you guys recommend here. Is a starter with a confirmed piece of hair a dumper? Wait and see?

    I’m brewing on a electric /220V system. I also have a detached garage on a house that I don’t planning staying in forever so I don’t think it’s worth it to make a run to the garage. I would love to brew in my garage and away from pets. I have thought about buying a propane setup until I move to...
