Don't have that. How about if I just fill blowoff tube with liquid. Is about 3 ft long.

Yes, it's ready to cold crash. I want to transfer to keg in a couple of days. Any suggestions without having to order something?

I want to try cold crashing my brew in glass carboy & have a single airlock. I read to fill water up to max fill line on airlock & I'll be fine. I've also read to attach a blowoff hose & insert into water to prevent add'l air from entering. Is one way better than the other, or another...

I didn't say I was using a "trub ball" since carboys don't have this. Was just giving info on what I did on previous batches. You know what?? Forget it! You can't read so I won't entertain your comments anymore. CYA

I said I was using a glass carboy. I "WAS" usung a conical with bottom (trub bowl) but this batch is a glass carboy. I guess tmi on my history. Glass carboys aren't pressure rated but will tolerate 1-2 psi, if you read about these.

I wasn't suggesting hepa prevents oxygen, but it would keep it from contanimation. The oxygen is miniscule isn't it vs a full open keg transfer? I've never done this before so I'll need to look that one up. The guy I saw doing this blew until it started transferring & said the oxygen is...

I call mine a trub ball bit it's, I guess, a collection ball. It's a container at bottom of a conical or other fermenter at bottom that collects sediment from yeast or other debris from the homebrew. A carboy doesn't have one. I'm not bottling, I'm transferring to keg. Bottling is a waste of...

The sg reading was resolved in #3 👍

I've been brewing Extract for almost 10 yrs & learned my processes have been subpar, to say the least from 1) fermenting at room temp in house without internal temp control at fermention, 2) opening fermenter throughout process to dump liquid from trub bowl back into brew fermenting , & 3) open...

Looking to learn a bit more than Extract brewing & was wondering if anyone in Snowflake/Taylor/ShowLow area?

What's your point? Looking for advice not criticism. I already stated what I was using.

1. No, my instrument was calibrated properly 2. No. It was stirred thouroughly just prior to testing 3. That could've been possible since I tested prior to dumping in fermemter & was probably 3.5-4 gallons before transfer. 4. 2 & 3 5. Definately not It comes in 1, 3, & 5 lb bags....when...

I've never gotten into the details of my end result over the years of extract brewing. I just followed through the recipes, added malt according to or added add'l to increase abv. After this, I measured OG prior to pitching & was pretty close.

It's 5 gallons

Original recipe was supposed to have Imperial Yeast G01 Stefon.

I did. And, I now I don't need a new one now that i have a calculator. And,,thismhas already been discussed. I'm doing this now.

I guess. I liked my hydrometer better but getting used to this refractometer. I'm used to seeing my fg at 1.01 when it's completed & thought my fermemtation stalled but it's been 2 weeks now so I was thinking, hhmm 🤔🤔🤔

Not really meaningless if I use that Refractometer calculation. But, like I said, I read that refractometer doesn't report accurately on FG. But dmTaylor showed me a translation calulator where I can use this 1.03 (which is actually about 7.7 brix)
