Flat unscented dental floss tied to the rubber handle and under the o ring. Don't use fishing line I tried it leaks. Once you put it in the keezer you can leave it in for the duration of the keg. I just did mine and I haven't seen any particles and it's almost gone with no grassy flavors

I'm in the same boat as you. Ever since I started 10 gallon batches the 2nd keg always has dramatic hop loss. Been getting a little better lately trying to naturally carb my 2nd keg and trying to limit O2 exposure. My last batch when I knew my 1st keg had about a week left I added a charge...

Never went that far into it but was just advised from other members on this forum to boil bottled water before using on the cold side. Just cheap insurance just like most things we do

Yes anything you add after the boil needs to be sanitized so the top off water should still be boiled. That also goes for the water used for making a starter. Sanitizer isn't really necessary on anything before the boil cause everything will be boiled for 60 minutes anyway. Even if you...

One other thing I would recommend is to boil the spring water before topping it off during the cooling phase. It could still contain bacteria out of the bottle. And that is a pretty high abv beer that could benefit from a few weeks of room temp aging/conditioning. Set it aside for a while...

What do you ferment in and is there a specific reason for wanting fermenters stationary? If it's a weight issue I had a 15 gal speidel fermenter that was way too heavy to be taking in and out of a chest freezer so I just put the chest freezer on floor dollys and wheeled it to the brew stand...

I'm in! Thanks!!

Sorry went off topic a little bit. I think you should be good with the extra mosaic dry hop. I put the 1 oz in mine and although it was good another ounce would have kicked it up a notch

I think the golden promise and the extra mosaic would go great with this beer. My wife was never a beer drinker until I made a pale with golden promise, white wheat malt, and lots of late mosaic additions and now anywhere we go if it has mosaic in it she's all over it. For people that always...

1 oz was good but next time I brew it I'm gonna try 2 oz

How about $10 or a 6 pack of homebrew

Just got a 5L flask for 10 gal batches. So i have a 2L flask with foam stopper for sale. No stir bar. Local only. $15 located in oak lawn

Never seen that before thanks!

Hey all i wanted to add a thermometer to the output of my CFC so i ordered a stainless tee and this thermometer from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XKWMC76/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 It was the only one that had a 1.5 inch stem that would fit into the top of the tee...

Thanks I'll give that a shot next time

Thanks for the recipe it turned out great despite a mistake on my part. The scale was acting funky at the LHBS and accidentally shorted myself 3 lbs of wheat for a 10 gal batch. Everything else stayed the same and ended up at 1.047. Definitely gonna rebrew this in the summer with the correct...

Well that answers my questions looks like I'm getting a bigger keezer [emoji482] One more thing though is it necessary to put an external fan inside the fridge like in a chest freezer to help recirculate the air? I also have a small portable heater for temp control

Yeah mine has a dial in the front that says refrigerator temp and another in the back that says freezer temp. How are the temp swings? I have a thermowell so i don't think it'll be too dramatic but I just want to get all scenarios.

Nice setup. When you use the bigger fridge for fermenting do you set both the freezer and fridge thermostat to the coldest setting and let the inkbird take over? Or does the freezer have to be set warmer to allow more airflow to the fridge portion.
