Nice. Personally, I like it when I can use gravity and avoid pumps.

Yes, you can hit it once at 5 PSI and it will probably drop to something like 2 PSI - which is kinda what all that number-y, math, physics-y stuff was saying. I have found that works with a CF-5 with something like 5 gallons in it to go from 70F -ish to 40F ish. In other words, you won't get to...

This is great advice it's so hard for me to follow. I just did a very similar recipe, also BIAB, but used 3 pounds of sugar and 13 pounds of fermentables and had an OG 1.088! (at a final volume of 6.1 gallons) Fermented down to 1.008 for an ABV 10.5%! My yeast was also the Abbaye Ale but it was...

Agree with 30-35 IBU. Especially since you said "somewhat sweet."

Best and Worst: SWMBO "It's OK."

I made/modified a cart for it.

Love these guys. Always a hose or something that needs to be held in place

I tried to put the “care:we’re all in this together emoji on that”.

Trying a Tripel recipe I made up. 3 pounds of light brown sugar going in. Yee-hah!

Yeah you need the gas manifold so you can put a few pounds of CO2 pressure in there to cold crash

That patience ingredient. Always seem to be out of it

I BIAB. BrewBag bag, Monster Mill at 0.018. Hops commando as you. I have a CF5 and depending on what I'm brewing get 5 to 6.5g in fermenter. Have the 2" sight glass at the bottom, too. When I dry hop with 5 ounces of pellets (commando) for my IPA recipe, I end up dumping about 90-100 ounces till...

I collect from bottom port of conical, cap on foam/overflowing, and keep in 16 ounce sanitized Mason jars in fridge. Warm up to wort temp and pitch one or two of these into 5 gallon batch; no starter. Has always worked great. Have kept for as long as 3 months, I think, and propagated seven or...

Ok. Definitely made a mistake on too short line and too big ID - 1/4”. Had some 3/16 ID line - 10 feet and now the Pluto Gun is working like a champ. I think the OP would like it - hefty, stays put, shouldn’t break as easy as the plastic picnic taps.

I think dumping it on the yeast cake would work great

Thanks - I'm thinking this 3/16" ID might work - the Pluto Gun barb fit easily onto the 1/4" so I think 3/16" would work there, and at the other end, I think I could squeeze it over the 1/4" tailpiece (I'm using Sanke kegs). Pic is what I tried today with the 3 feet of 1/4" ID "Ultra Barrier...

Run picnic taps full open.

Thanks. Yeah I think I do need to connect the Pluto Gun to more line. Used 3 ft of 1/4 ID line which worked OK with the picnic tap though

1/4 inch ID, 3 ft of line. Yes, I don’t really want to change the carbonation level. Maybe let it get cold? Probably could use some more of that and some more line

So I got my stainless steel Pluto Beer Gun today. Total foam. I have 12 PSI in a fridge at about 38F. Can be kinda foamy with the IPA I have with the picnic taps but so far total foam with the Pluto. Have tried with the adjustment screw in more (lower flow but I think more foam) or out more -...
