Started at 1.050 and now it’s been at 1.011 for 2 to 3 days Yesterday when I placed the corny in my fridge the spunding valve was showing 30 psi. I just checked and it’s dropped to about 20 psi. Perhaps it’s safe to say my fermentation has stopped?

Might be a dumb question, but I'm wondering if my beer is done fermenting under pressure. When I tighten the spunding valve, the pressure rises accordingly over the course of the day, yet my FG has been stable for at least 48 hours (using a Tilt). Wouldn't the spundng valve show no change in...

Well, I think I’ll try that with my next brew. At this point I’m wondering if my transfer to the serving keg is causing o2 issues. Your gelatin injection sounds very simple. Thank you for all the help. I guess I’ll go the purist route and keep all in one keg, pressure fermented, natural carb...

https://www.homebrewing.org/Beer-Filtration-System_p_4560.html .5 micron idea is good as well. I’m not feeling like the 1 micron is enough. And yes I’m sorry I’ll read that post ASAP, been off and on the road all day so far. I’m a bit concerned with that, considering that means I have all sorts...

Haven’t read the forum you suggested yet but I certainly will. And that’s a good point. Didn’t think about the amount of O2 that would be in the serving keg anyway. But I plan to transfer from fermenting keg to serving keg because of the 1 micron filter anyway so regardless I would be using that...

I always filter my home brew via closed transfer with two Corny kegs, 1 micron filter. Of course purge it of air and sanitize. I’m thinking about trying gelatin as well. Can I put gelatin in my serving keg at the bottom, purge the keg of air, seal it closed with co2, then hook up my filter and...

Make sense, ya I don't use it often and not that I'm moving to all pressure fermentation with closed transfers, I don't see myself using it again in the future. However, I have my last extract beer that is finally done lagering after what feels like an eternity and I hoped to get it carbed in a...

Sad day. Guess not all YouTube videos with high end production should be considered trustworthy. Carb stone down! Thanks again for your help

Take a look at my carb stone… I used it once with a wheat beer, and I thought I boiled it out enough after… I read to store in vodka. It’s been a few months and now it looks like it’s rusting, but I don’t see how that possible. Could it be beer that is leaking out from before? There are small...

First of all, I’m very grateful for your responses. I love brewing but the ambiguity is sometimes maddening, yet also what makes it so alluring. 1. Good point, it’s an intense yeast, time frame does make sense. 2. I agree. I think I’ll need to take a FG reading the old school way to ever truly...

Good questions. Krause blowout came around 10pm the first night so within 8 hours of pitching yeast. I spent 3-4 hours adjusting spunding valve because pressure was all over the place, sometimes ramping up to 25 psi but I always caught that quickly. I had read that max should be 15psi so I...

So beyond my nightmare of wild fluctuations in pressure of my spunding valve and krausen blowouts through that same valve all over the floor... I also have Tilt issues. Hard drops in the first 24 hours for my gravity, but then a stall, as shown below. So I gave it a good shake and repositioned...

interesting. Sounds very similar to mine, although I was at 10 psi not 15. So perhaps my blow out came from not enough pressure?

I don't know a bunch about different types of yeast but I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the yeast I used it what caused the krausen to stay high and to end up overflowing. In general, the PSI fluctuation was insane. Sometimes up to 25 psi (which at the time I was afraid that anything...

Hi all, new here. I had my first all grain brew yesterday on the grainfather and also decided to try pressurized fermentation, along with a Tilt. Big jump from extract brewing... Recipe: Relatively standard wheat beer, although I don't know a lot to be honest. Pale Malt (2-row) 5.75lb Wheat...
