Are you planning on cold crashing in primary? My small batch D-bock is in the primary now for 11 days, but I pitched S04. OG 1.079 and yesterday it was at 1.021 (74% AA). I will ferment for one more week maybe and want to cold crash for a few days.

Thanks. I wonder if I should leave it at 65-68F as it is now. Or can I move it into a fridge to cold crash for 10 days?

Just found this post, how did it finally come out? I have a small batch Doppelbock in the fermenter for 10 days now. Pitched S04. OG was at 1.079 and yesterday’s reading showed 1.021 which is almost 74% attenuation. Should I let it ferment for another week, or is it time to prime and bottle?

I prefer 1.75 Gal to 1.5 Gal. Also like stainless look on cannonball.

Looks like they have a newer regulator now: https://www.northernbrewer.com/collections/mini-kegs/products/cannonball-system-mini-regulator Or this one, but I would like a soda stream canister: https://www.northernbrewer.com/collections/mini-kegs/products/draft-brewer-mini-keg-system

My second warm ferment beer is a small batch Doppelbock....maintaining temp of 70F for 8 days now. This time I will be more patient and wait another week. Pitched S-04 yeast. Krausen has dropped and almost disappeared at the moment. Plan on priming and bottling, at room temp for a week and then...

Testing label designs for a small batch I am brewing for my friend’s birthday gift....I obviously misspelt Doppelbock!!!

I am planning on getting cannon ball keg from northern brewer. I brew 2 Gal batches and this 1.75 Gal keg is perfect. Extra beer will go into 12oz bottles which I can use as taste testers. I plan on natural carbonation in this keg and then use mini cartridges to serve (74g cartridge price is not...

Brewed a German Doppelbock small batch....will be birthday present to my friend.

Thanks. I am planning on natural/sugar carbonation and use Mini regulator with co2 cartridge to serve.

What do you use for CO2? 74g Cartridges or a 5lb cylinder? I am very eager to buy one.

Like someone commented here, I have gushers!!! I opened one flip top bottle and half the contents gushed out, this is after 6 days of carbonation. So I opened all of them just enough to release pressure and sealed it back up. Hope this doesn’t ruin the beer. It kicked up all of the caked yeast...

Not sure what happened to my post, I cannot see pic anymore. Let’s see if this works

4 days into bottle conditioning...it is clearing up nicely. I can see tiny bubbles rising from the bottom, mostly suspended.

Wonder if the spigot you mentioned above would fit this fermenter.

I have not bought it yet....I am debating with spigot or not. Siphoning is not as bad as having a leaking spigot onto my wood floors while it ferments in the mini wine fridge. https://www.mrbeer.com/1-gallon-glass-fermenter

Thank you all for replying. Today I have decided to go with 1-gallon glass big mouth bubbler with spigot. Realized that 3 Gal would still give me about 30 bottles which is a lot for experimenting.

I know this an old post. I am also trying to go small and get a 3 Gal fermenter. Does anybody tell me about your 3-gal fermenter based on experience? Which one should I buy? I cannot keep my 6.5 Gal fermenter inside temp controlled mini fridge, so using that is not an option. Thanks.

Any glass fermenters that are good? I am reading many reviews about them having inconsistent thickness that leads to cracking or shattering.

I brewed my first batch in a 6.5 gallon bucket, and it in carbonating now in bottles. But I got 24 16oz bottles and some more!! So I want to scale down to 3 gallon fermenters for a smaller batch. Maybe just fill it with 2.5 gal wört. I want to brew more often with one set of equipment. I...
