I'm interested.

Thanks for the info.... I have received a lot of good info from you all.... Thanks so much to ALL of you.

Wow! What a deal, and includes a floating dip tube. Just added one to my cart. Thanks,

Oh! I thought you meant you put a hose on the ball lock post itself. Thanks for explaining....

I have never run across those Oxebar kegs.... TNX

Yes. Glad you pointed that out. I had forgotten. At what pressure does it release?

Last Saturday I brewed a coffee stout for a friend. Added 6oz of ground coffee after the boil when the temperature had dropped to coffee steeping temperature ~200F. I was amazed at how clear the wort was and how everything had settled to the bottom of the BrauMeister. It's as if the coffee...

Thank you, waynetempro. Good info. For my next two brews I am also using Safale US-05 Last weekend on Saturday I brewed Irish Stout and fermented (in a carboy) with S-04... VERY active and definitely needed a blow-off for a couple of days. It nearly quit perking the air lock after only three...

Nice setup. I brew with my BrauMeister 20L. I'm sticking with 5 gal batches.

Great suggestion. I found a 90 elbow with 1" barb; so I should be able to use my existing blow-off hose. Thanks.

I've been thinking about how to use a blow-off hose for the first day or so. How do you use a blow-off hose on the gas port? Have you removed the poppet valve, or do you have a PRV upstream of the hose? I also have a lid with the PRV drilled out leaving a hole ~7/8"diameter where I can use...

Thanks, I did not know about the red and the green PRVs. I plan on spunding at no more than 15 PSI.

Thanks for the link to the adjustable valve and gauge on the gas in connector. The one I was looking at last night is out of stock, and I intended to look for others today.

Thank you for your input. I too added a floating dip tube with filter, and I plan on using the keg for both fermenting and serving.... at least initially, until I evaluate the setup.

Yes, that is the lid that I have. And yes, I really don't have an emergency valve. I was calling the adjustable valve 'emergency' . This if the valve I have https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CLK8XBP9?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 I also connected a pressure gauge to the gas in port.

The lid has one adjustable 'emergency' pressure relief valve, set at 15PSI. And I have a pressure gauge (for monitoring) attached to the gas in port. But no pressure control device. Thanks for your input.

Thanks

I have always used a carboy or my (plastic) conical for fermenting. Today I prepared a corny keg for fermenting. I installed a tr-clamp lid with a 15 PSI pressure relief valve. I also have a pressure gauge that I can install on the gas in port. How much headspace is needed when using a...

I let a small sample of beer sit overnight to go flat. The next morning it had dropped from 6.0 to 5.5 pH. I checked the calibration of my pH meter when I first got it a few weeks ago. It read the 4.0 buffer as 4.0.; the 7.0 as 7.0; and the 10.0 buffer as 10.1. Close enough.

ajdelange, Thanks for your reply. I have muriatic acid (31.45 HCl) which should be about 10.2 N. I can go from there with your answer. I measured the pH of the beers right out of the tap without degassing them. I'll pull another sample of one and let it go flat and then measure the pH...
