Thanks for sharing this. Very interesting. Your results are somewhat surprising to me. #1 seems to resemble the process many of us were using 2-3 years ago and #3 looks more similar to current methods. Maybe I'm misreading this, but wasn't #2 the only one with late fermentation hops and...

I bought a bunch of kegs recently. Okay, I bought too many kegs. But it was hard to pass up a good deal and I was able to sneak them inside when my wife wasn’t home. Anyway, a couple have this thing that I don’t recognize where the prv would normally be. I assume I need to replace this part...

Mine are: Kegerator Wine Fridge Beer Fridge 2x fermentation chambers kitchen secondary family fridge The 8th was one that came with the house but I'm getting rid of it.

Someone on a different thread suggested sous vide magnets. (8-Pack) Sous Vide Weights Works on All Sous Vide Machines, Silicone-Coated Sous Vide Magnets Amazon.com: (8-Pack) Sous Vide Weights Works on All Sous Vide Machines, Silicone-Coated Sous Vide Magnets : Home & Kitchen

I think you want to achieve two things. One is taking less time to brew--or at least less time while the kids are awake. The other is to make sure your brew day is as simple and stress free as possible so that you can give some attention to the family throughout the day. A big help to me was...

Thank you. I will tell my wife it could be worse!

Picked up a couple of Danby mini fridges on CL/FB. Slightly different models, but they're both freezerless and I shouldn't have to do more than cutting the shelves off the doors to get 2 kegs in each. These will be my fermentation chambers. I currently have 8 refrigerators in my house. My...

Not at all. I should have quoted the person I was referring to. 🍻

Very interesting, thanks for sharing this. I had no idea they put out all this info.

Good grief with these responses that cold side practices are important. Are there many lodo proponents who use mash caps and then store their finished beer in open bottles in a sauna? Every LODO proponent I've read would agree that cold side practices are more important. The LODO folk believe...

I'm no biologist but it seems to me dry hoping and spunding at the same time is the most o2 safe method. But the stuff I've read--mainly Janish--suggests that post-fermentation dry hopping after a soft craah is better. And as far as I know, those two methods mutually exclusive.

Yeah, I don't disagree with you. But this guy's only argument is that he doesn't think long term stability is important. For all his rants about "data" he's not disputing that LODO can produce more stable beer. He's not disputing that you might find it more flavorful.

Yes, I understand your opinion on whether one of the 2 stated goals of LODO is worthwhile. But you don't dispute that LODO techniques can reduce oxidation and prolong stability. And you don't you don't dispute that some people might prefer the taste of beer brewed with lodo techniques. So...

The LODO crowd, it seems to me, believe reducing oxidation leads to a) better stability and b) subjectively, better taste. His argument now, as it's changed a bit over the course of this thread, is that long term stability isn't important to a homebrewer, and that taste is subjective. So...

That's really cool. Yeah, its a pretty good method. I've been doing a lot of mental gymnastics over whether I can eliminate even that minimal o2 exposure. So you're using 3 vessels? Fermentation vessel, dry hop keg, serving keg? Purging all 3 with fermentation co2? I was talking about...

How do you execute an oxygen free dry hop post fermentation? The best I can come up with is opening the keg while running gas from a tank in the hopes that only a little O2 gets in.

Your NEIPAs don't get good until 3 or 4 months? I find mine are best at 4-6 weeks. There's science that says its real and a number of homebrewers who have tried and think it translates. Does that mean they're right or that it would work for you? No. But what more do you want? The great...

It's literally the first post of this thread. You just ignore their point and argue against positions nobody is taking to make yourself feel clever. And you're quite rude about it. I'm not sure why bassman and lupulus or anyone else bothers engaging with this jerk.

Anyone here using cbc1 to carbonate NEIPAs? Considering it for o2 scrubbing and perhaps texture/mouthfeel.

Just following up as I'll be passing through on Sunday 2/20 and then again on Sunday 2/27. If you decide to split out the 5g kegs, I'd be interested. Maybe the smaller ones, too. Good luck!
