Where is the vomit emoji!

Usually a week after racking.

I was transferring wort from my BK to my fermenter in my garage. I set my BK on my work bench on top of a three ring binder. The idea was to keep trub away from my valve while on the binder. Well, I went to do something like grab the O2 wand or sanitizer and saw the BK fall 4’ from the bench...

Great video! I think I may go with a sight glass and ball valve after my butterfly valve. The diaphragm valve looks way too expensive for my home brewery.

Haha. I don’t have that problem yet...

I don’t dump until I am ready to transfer, but the beer seems to “cut” the hops and trub. I have only done two batches in it so I just have to work on it. I usually overbuild my starters, so the yeast harvesting isn’t the issue. I am just looking to get “cleaner” beer when transferring. The...

Whenever I dump I get a little bit of sediment and then some beer. But when I am done transferring there is a ton of hops and it oozes out. Maybe I need to cold crash before I dump. Which I may have to wait until I get my temp control unit.

Any suggestions? I have a Spike cf5 with a 2-inch butterfly valve and a 90 attached to the bottom. When I open the valve into a 5 gallon bucket, shiatzu sprays everywhere. I have thought about putting on a reducer, say a 2 to 1/2”. Eventually I will get the yeast brink from NorCal, but am...

I break a pound into 5-2 oz packs and 6-1 oz packs, vacuum seal each individual pack. I used to do just one big bag, but I couldn't get the bags to seal every time due to hop material being in the way. Also, I figured i would just expose the hops to oxygen one time when I broke down the...

Same here. Seems to be a good sweet spot for me. I have been moving the amounts and time they go in, but I like to keep the total hop amount the same. Although, I bought a pound of Cascade pellets from a work buddy of mine. He gave them to me in a ziplock so I decided to brew with them as quick...

Yeah we may be neanderthals, but we sure like to have a good time.

To each their own, but many o kegs were also killed...

:mug:I’m with you

Do you have a source to get the grain? May be interested for the right price, but I know it may be difficult w/o a lot of ppl. The buffalo group buy usually has 10 or so and buy their grain from a HBS.

Definitely on this train. Most recent was Citra 20, Galaxy 10, citra/galaxy 5, WP, DH with 2 pts left.

I may be the first person to stress a Kveik style yeast. I used about a tablespoon of Hothead in 5.5 gallons of 1.064 wort fermented around 84. It dropped to 1.001 and is very boozy and has some yeast bite after being in the keg for over a month. I used 7 oz of NS total and am thinking they...

I always leave my fermonster open with the yeast cake for a few days after transferring. I wait until I have time to clean which involves a long hot soak in PBW and a wipe with a wash cloth. No infection so far*fingers crossed *

I figured u were a seasoned NEIPA brewer. I am interested in your results because I have Simcoe in my next hop order(been 3 yrs since I have used it). Keep us posted if you try to use it again
