so here's the spreadsheet derived from your calcs and with your original figures back at start of thread. it all matches up with your figures from that first huge post. seems correct to me. (ignore first two rows, no relation or effect here) now here's changing the headspace volumes for...

been nerding out on this for a while, figuring out how bad i've been leaving o2 around because i've been putting a spunding valve on my serving keg. the 2psi makes sure the lid stays sealed tight, which was a problem once before. however i believe that has the practical effect of massively...

was filling a keg with near boiling water to sanitize after a brett beer today, being careful about sealing it up, and i thought of this thread. i think this might be a pretty heavy overestimation. if you fill the corny to the rim then there's no way for the full 3fl oz of air to get into...

ah, ok. forgot you were talking about larger batches. ours had a max run of maybe 8 or 9 feet to farthest tank. but those pumps were designed to be used for fermenters. i took a look at the docs for the g40 and i think you might just be forcing something that doesnt want to work. the...

its a whole different animal. we're talking about 2 and 4bbl batches, so the thermal mass is slower to change than 5 or 10 gallons. it wasnt ever an issue for us at that size, and certainly not up in the 15/30bbl batch sizes. you could raise the ferm set temp like 1 or 2 degress, probably...

the problem is that the research hasnt caught up enough to let us know what input creates which output. i consistently get the 3mh passion and maybe a touch of citrus. i also use the same base malt, same saaz/cascade mash hops. so not surprising its pretty constant. switched to golden...

that's dangerous. if your spund got sticky and isnt operating smoothly then its not much of a leap to think that maybe your PRV might also have gotten some crud in it. while its going off and putting out krauzen and co2 you're safe from oxygenating your beer. very good time to dissemble...

sounds like something with the spunding valve. it shouldnt have a big blow off. once you get up to 12 or 13psi you should be getting small, relatively tame and steady release of gas. the beer would have to be fermenting like crazy to build up pressure so fast that it comes out like a...

i have a well in back yard, and pump water up into a reservoir in the garage, which is an ibs tote 275gal with a submersible pump in it. (water is above lawn/sprinklers/valves, etc.) the issue ive just found is that after doing some work recently (swapping new sprinkler heads, layout changes)...

so its been alluded to here and there but not really talked about in more detail- is hochkurz "worth it" for beers that would be more in the medium body range? if i wanted more body, is it something that's easily achievable or better off just doing a regular infusion? i've started using it...

hey folks- wondering if anyone knows some US commercial examples that use the augustiner lager yeast? hopefully a national brewery, or if not something out in the west thx

This is a unitank. Holds at least 15psi and as noted above

the cleaning/filling sanke is definitely different from your typical sanke. the bore size in the body is larger, its not designed to be used with the regular trap/ball, etc as far as i know. its its own thing. its not the end of the world if you use a regular sanke without the ball/stop/etc...

i wouldnt use anything less than 3/8, but more likely 1/2 inch. silicone is fine if thats what you got. beer doesnt spend enough time in tubing to get oxidized. you can order different tubing that is high temp and better oxygen barrier from fisher scientific, maybe mcmaster carr, etc. cant...

when flights are priced appropriately (glassware, labor/time for 6 pours, setup and describe,etc) they can be a good way to get some volume going on the beers that are your non-core or one-off brews. everyone who doesnt like beer already orders hazies, people who tolerate beer will order the...

ah yes, they are very much in the mode of "if product has no bugs you waited too long to launch" so not surprising they get ahead of themselves. but kinda weird they didnt have a video ready for the new version.... i havent seen the product in question, so i cant say much specifically. but...

believe me- im the last person to give kegland a pass on ease of use. but in their defense, they have a TON of videos where they explain pretty much all this stuff. i'm not one to watch them unless i am specifically trying to solve a problem, but they are there for anyone to view and get all...

no problem. you have a question or looking for any specific info?

sure. got two 3gals and one 2.5 gal. the stackable style with rubber handles/bottoms.
