I'll be interested to hear others answers. For me the ramping up to 70 at the end of fermentation with a full day of "rest" is all the resting I do and it seems to work.

Thanks. I've always been a commando guy but the few times I used bags it worked fine with the pressure transfer system because I could direct the racking cane.

Pardon the interruption: Has anyone used a floating dip tube in their Fermonster then dry hopped in bags? Is it possible for the dip tube to work around the bags? This may be obvious but this is my first rodeo with the floating dip tube. Would it be better to go commando on the dry hops? I've...

I've always liked US 05 and after hearing Mitch Steele on a podcast I never felt a need to change for my house pale ale.

Pressure transfer kit from brewhardware.com I was skeptical about the hoopla of oxygen-free transfers but the beer definitely benefits regardless of style.

When I heard Mitch Steele (New Realm) on a podcast talk about how much they use dry yeast for their ales I haven't given it much thought except for saisons.

My eyes saw Summerfest but my brain registered Summerbreak. My mistake. What is the Cold IPA?

Sierra Nevada Cold IPA? Summerfest is ale yeast according to their website. Probably Chico?

Domino Dots will work. BUT You must have the box with 198 "dots" per pound. The number is listed on the box. Although I now keg I keep the dots around so when I have more beer than my keg holds I just fill bottles and add a dot. (two dots for bombers).

Pardon the interruption. Did you need a dedicated outlet and plug for the Avantco 3.5kW?

Temperature of fermentation vessel?

Update is much appreciated. Thank you!

Thread revival for an update on your Italian pils. Recipe? especially hop/dry hop schedule. I really like this style and want to give it a try. Pivo and a local, Bocce Break by Heirloom Rustic Ales are favorites

My house beer: A slightly higher gravity version of Bells Light Hearted Ale. Light Hearted in the Bells kit and commercially is 3.7 abv. Mine is about 4.5-4.7abv 2 Row, Pale Ale Malt, Crystal 40 or 60 for color Centennial and Galaxy Hops If the virus lockdown accomplished anything it gave me...

maybe but it never shows up in the final beer.

DMF: you mention a hose into a bucket of starsan. >>>On the gas "OUT" on keg I attached a hose going to a bucket of Starsan. As shown here,<< How far was the hose submerged into the starstan? Was it a 5 gal bucket? I wonder if the 2 psi was not sufficient to push the displaced keg gas into and...

Was the fermenter sitting well above the keg? Was the beer going from fermenter to the "In" connect on the keg? I don't have the experience of other posters here but I fill the keg on the "Out" post so it fills from the bottom of the keg through the long dip tube. I don't have anything on the...

Extra large blow off tube on fermenter?

After stumbling through the Search function I finally found another discussion related to my question. Sorry for adding another topic. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/closed-transfer-to-smaller-keg.698082/#post-9222987

I have been using the closed transfer method to keg my beer from a Fermonster to a keg. Since the keg lid is closed what's the best method to know the keg is FULL but not too full? I could use markings on the fermenter but I've got dry hop bags in there which throws the measurement off. I've...
