Strat with solid lid as mentioned above and get some threaded ball lock posts (gas and liquid) https://www.williamsbrewing.com/Liquid-Ball-Lock-With-Threaded-Post-P4507.aspx use a spade bit (1/2" I believe) pop 2 holes and use these gaskets or something similar...

Looks like you need to change your user name then ;)

Why not try some fermenter/keg finings like gelatin

Brew more beer! J/k The pros use supercritical co2, the rest of us use grain alcohol. Crush the pellets/whole hops and wash them with the alcohol, strain the plant matter and reduce the liquid to oil in a rice cooker or on electric stove top. Suck oil up into a wide needle syringe and throw...

DO NOT USE OIL, use a cbd isolate powder, they are 99% pure and dissolves easily in solution

Depends on what you consider low cost, but kegland the company who makes the robobrew is releasing a can seamer that will be half the price of the current american made offerings. Here's a video

Yeah they work so good, I use them in all my kegs too. No, I have never had any issues with it sucking c02 from above, it intakes from right below the ball just like when in the keg.

I just cut both sides of the aluminum pickup tube with the grinder twice to allow better flow. The tube wants to stick to the fermenter wall when under pressure if not.

Yeah I'm amazed that there is no turnkey solution for a fermonster pressure kit similar to the fermzilla. Easy enough to make it, but it would sell well if someone made a complete kit.

I also have spigots on all of my fermonsters. I did a water test and it held at 20psi but began squirting out of the spigot seal/oring at 25psi. I usually only need a few psi to initiate siphon, I just wanted to see what it could handle. You would be surprised what pressures PET bottles can take...

@Dgallo thanks for the comprehensive breakdown of your process. I have been dry hopping at day 3-4 and cold crashing using mylar bag before transfer, but now I will hop under pressure and be using the c02 bottle during final crash to avoid suck back. Here is what I used on my fermonster, it...

I'm in thanks!

This is my attempt at the braufessors most recent recipe. Turned out well ballanced and quite delicious. I like the 6oz whirlpool and the 6oz dh, makes it easy and good ballance between the 3 hop varieties at the 3-2-1 ratio.

I believe the Giga brand VIPA/conan also says up to 1.070 without a starter. It has worked very well for me pitching comando, but seems to lag a bit after some initial airlock activity, then the krausen takes off. 200 BILLION CELLS! LOL

Nothing flaked? I googled but couldn't find the article you mentioned. Link by chance?

Yes very interesting indeed. I know that flour is generally looked down on by the community here and I have never used it personally, but I could see how they contribute to the opacity of his beers. During a can release last month, we all commented on the hazy (not NEIPA imo) fights we ordered...

Def hop burn, its almost a sharp black pepper burn from hops in suspension

If you read the description on this recent release they state dextrose and lactose for the above mentioned reasons. It was such a great beer too, wish I bought more

Lactose is non fermentable but I believe it will still increase gravity a bit.
