I don't. Please share. edit: You mean spills, don't you

Why do you think the batch is ruined?

What is wrong with the customer service? :confused:

What is the temperature at the level of your collar?

What I am trying to get at is how do you know if it needs more time? The difference I perceive with bottling is that I can chill a single bottle to see how it tastes without chilling the entire batch. With kegging once I chill the keg the maturation process is slowed. Have you all gotten to...

What I mean is how do I know when it is ready to carb? I'd hate to chill and carb a whole batch and then find out it is still green.

How do you decide on temperature if you are lagering and serving in the same space?

My current process involves bottling and then chilling and tasting a bottle periodically to see if it is ready. Not just to check carbonation, but all aspects of readiness. I will start kegging pretty soon, and the way I understand it, this does not translate very well because once you chill...

Would be very interesting to see power usage before and after certain tweaks. Having such a large freezer probably factors into this in your situation, but in general, what are the merits of a 2" thick collar vs. 1"? It seems like everyone uses 2x's... are 1x's too flimsy even for a smaller...

I was thinking more about the electric bill than I was about foaming.

Would it be beneficial to insulate the collar?

Looking awesome! Why put the collar on the lid and not the chest?

I stand corrected.

Converting to carbonic acid when it hits the surfaces inside your airway probably is the source of the sting, but I am pretty sure it is not present in a gas, regardless of humidity. With CO2 you would not asphyxiate without noticing like you would with CO or inert gases. You would feel...

It's CO2. When dissolved in water, some CO2 turns to carbonic acid. In the air, it's all CO2.

Awesome, thanks :)

I was looking at the 6-pack I saved of my first batch, an Irish Red I brewed on 1/10, and I noticed a bit of stuff floating on the surface in all of the bottles. It has made a little bit of a ring on the glass, and when disturbed some of it starts to sink. I also noticed this in one bottle of...

Fill it with crystal violet dye :D

Do you really need the plate?

I guess it depends on your definition of "able". I looked in the two threads you started on this topic and nobody said that.
