Yeah, I think I'm going to get the hop spider or start bagging the things.

Backflush?

I have access to a CNC router, and a giant gaylord full of commercial casters. I'll just make one.

Well I know what I'm making at work on Monday. Also mine leaks a little as well. I just tuck it in to the washing machine and let it drip in there where I collect the output water to wash a load of clothes with later.

I'm relived now, I was worried that you may never get your ball off. :ban:

So far I'm happy. Came home from work today and checked on it and the airlock is bubbling and there is a layer of krausen on top. Looks like I'll be drinking an Irish red for New years.

Put my first batch in the Catalyst tonight. Spent more time battling with the lid gasket than anything else. Other than that things went well. I'll know more in a day or two.

Try Lalvin EC-1118. It works well in Skeeter pee and lemon juice is roughly the same ph as cranberry juice.

Definite sign of too much blood in your alcohol system. I assembled my GF today, will perhaps get to brew tomorrow after work. Need to teach the wife or the kid how this all works so if I get called out for a fire I don't end up flushing the whole batch.

I only had 16 cubic feet, I don't think that was a pound.

Quite possibly how they started out.

It would be interesting, but I've already given them to a friend who has a ferret that loves to play in the things.

I should think you could buy the sampling port kit for the fastferment and install that. Even comes with the step bit. AIH has them. $15. http://www.homebrewing.org/FastFerment-Sampling-Port_p_6100.html

Human error when adding it to the site originally? I would literally cut a circle out of some wood before I would pay that for a replacement.

I thought about sacrificing a bag of cheese powder from a mac and cheese meal to see if I could improve the flavor.
