what's the set up behind the fermenter?

blueberry mead and 10g of Munich Dunkel

Looks like it's fermenting well. If you can mix it a little to let some of the C02 out of solution. The oxygen mixed in will keep the yeast healthy and in suspension. Too much C02 in solution with mead can become toxic to the yeast. If you can't mix it no worries the plan you have should...

Close for me, I work nights. Called my wife at 3 am thinking I left the RO water running all day. I was 100% sure I was going to have a flood

No it was about 4.5 gallons. It was a user error

i tell everyone, if i don't get the bottle back no more beer i like to say if it comes back clean bonus points.

too relatable, recipe #1 when i worked from home. called working from home sober. i had 10% cider and 10% mead on tap. something had to give.

you have freeze it keep the good stuff. then melt the slush and have super lame beer also and a super good beer.

yeah, its like washing a car. As soon as you do it rain or snow shows up for the fun.

i have used 90% generic alcohol and backing soda make a paste and let it sit and dry but that's for lifting stains from stone.

i have only used D-47 for mead, i am making a blueberry mead right now and prior to this one i used it on a cider boosted mead so i could have myself a 10% is mead. i also boiled 2.5 pounds of the honey. that turned out great. i was just reading about 71B sounds like a great yeast for Mead...

looking.. brown, how's the smell? what yeast did you use?

moment of silence for the deposit.😢

Sigh. I had a situation last night. My spunding valve was hooked up to my new pin lock kegs. The pins were all jacked up and the lids leaked. I will be sending and email to the vendor. But the beer climbed in the lines etc. I feel like everything goes wrong for me the first time. But I always...

The idea is to always have the same. Beer fermenting at the same time. I know myself. I "plan" things then run on madness.

Ah that's brilliant. I was wondering how I would keep it balanced more or less but I have a few i could use.

I'm not 100% done but I am getting close. Need the basket. I used the solder fittings sold on brew hardware. But I made a huge mistake. For the TC I used the wrong hole saw size. I had to get crafty and turned my weldless old fitting into a solder fitting haha. I also messed up the kettle...

I plan on doing 10G batches but I am a cheapo. I decided to make my own two keg spunding valve. I am open for any input.

i will replace the o-ring once i finish the beer. i made the mistake of doing this before i poured a beer... the post was tight but honestly i think i used a different dip tube from another keg and its not sitting 100% right.

So last night I pulled the beer side apart on the keg. It all looked okay but I made sure it was correct and added some keg lube on the gaskets. Works perfectly now
