Well, of course those are all potential sources. I thought you meant minimal amounts of O2, though, not possibly unmeasurable or hypothetical sources of O2.

I used to use firmwrap but like the ceramic heater better. Its just one less thing to screw around with (it just sits in the fridge and never needs to be touched). The little ceramic heaters produce very gentle heat. I log beer temps and fridge interior temps during ferments and the fridge...

I have tried that but it took way more than 10 dumps and lots of shaking to get it all out.

If you purge and transfer correctly, where is the minimal amount of O2 coming from?

I pretty much stopped caring if they lost the seal. I definitely re-vacuum seal them, and if they smell good at that point, I just use them.

Looks like at least one lost the vacuum seal. I have returned bags like that to Yakima. It used to happen to me all the time.

Yup, the ceramic heaters are great. I have been using a Lasko My Heat for years in mine. Works perfectly. https://www.amazon.com/Lasko-100-MyHeat-Personal-Heater/dp/B003XDTWN2/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=my+heaT&qid=1589559382&sr=8-1

Yes, you can. That is precisely what they are designed to do. If the fridge is in a cold area, you may have to get a two stage controller and put a heat source in the fridge.

It has been discussed a lot. Have you seen this?

Lol, no worries. I was wondering why you were jumping on me for saying it pulls almost 30" HG, which it actually does. You can find them on ebay for a couple hundred.

10 torr/29.5" is what it's rated for, which is exactly what my gauge says.

No, not a joke. There are two ways to measure vacuum, right? 29.92" HG can mean perfect vacuum. And yeah, it pulls to between 29 and the 30" mark on my gauge. The pump was I believe $700, so I guess it really is possible? Like I said, waaay more vacuum than my Foodsaver can pull!

I made it out of readily available tri clamp parts. The vacuum pump is a two piston pump made by KNF. It pulls waaaay more vacuum than my Foodsaver.

I attach a dry hop chamber to the top of my fermenter and fill it with dry hops. I then pull about 30" Hg vacuum on it and pressurize it with CO2 three times (vacuum, pressurize, vacuum, pressurize, vacuum, pressurize). I then open a sanitary valve between the fermenter and chamber and the...

Vacuum pump

Can't they just be moving the wort to a different vessel before whirlpooling? For us, it doesn't really make a difference. Our BK can be our "other vessel" if we drop the temps.

I have, I have! What do I win? I live near TH and have had most of them. Some are amazing and some are meh. Every milkshake I have had from any other brewery has sucked beyond belief. I brewed 2 or 3 and my lychee milkshake was ridiculously awesome. They aren't easy to do (I do not claim...

Trash it. Not worth the hassle.

Thanks, man! 1318 is great in these beers.
