Hey I have the old one, and want to get a new one to start cranking out two batches at a time. The new one has a new white spigot. Question: Does it stay open, so I can transfer 5 gallons, without babysitting it. Ive watched a video but i that part wasnt clear. Thanks

yes force carb. yes I squeezed, and expelled all air in the beginning. bottles in keezer, 40 degrees. i guess has to be the pressure (im at 10-12) thats where my current pouring pressure happens to be. but I thought if I did it, many times, over 2-3 days it would be good. I will...

Hey i have the coopers bottles and im using the carbonation caps for 6 or so bottles to take when boating or whatever. I decided to try to make some soda for my bros kids, with kool-aid and carbonate it. I have set to 10-12 lbs, liquid mostly to the top, and shake the heck out of it w/ the...

theres some youtube vids of getting the yeast directly from commercial beer cans/bottles. i bit of a job, but you can directly get that sam adams yeast right from the beer.

Another one. theres a ton of other vids up and down the side when you get to youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF7DLNjh0WM

found that Video. Not me by the way. Culturing up Yeast from Packaged Beer - Conan yeast from Heady Topper https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYFp5ghf0wU

im still reading up, but out of the primary fermenter seems the best. When I cleaned my keg last I noticed some at the bottom, dont know if its enough. I would just go from the 1st fermentation. i saw a cool vid, of a guy getting yeast from 2 cans of commercial beer (local craft brewery). Great...

i will be trying it. I had a coopers lager, which I think the yeast went bad on a previous coopers. so I poured my coopers lager over a brewers best yeast bed, drinking now, and came out great. so yeast washing is in my future. :ban:

wow:mug:.......well you dont disappoint. :)

wow all those electronics boxes are over the top. :) more modding on the electrical side than Ive seen on the facebook group. but it looks like you dont have the z brace mods. Im pretty new the wanhao, but that seems to be the go to thing in the group. leveling and squaring fixes this 'eh'...

nice, been into brewing for a year, and 3d printing for a few months. just got a wanhao i3. you have me beat on both counts, i have some learning to do, but want to do a bunch of builds. Ive started thinking about a print to collect my 3 tap system. :) fun stuff

thanks

my first 3 cooper were fails..wine champagne taste. eh... anyway had luck with brewers best. decided to take last cooper lager and pour over yeast from brewers best american light. fired up quick in 6-7 hrs, strong for 24 hours, and now mild activity. getting a noticable egg...

cool, thanks for the input:mug:

bottom of the boil stuff - chuck it in? hey all the grain particles and hops etc. do you guys put it all into your fermenter or do you just leave that last bunch of stuff out???

Pretty much getting started, on my 1st of 2 Brewers Best kits. To go to the beginning, I got 4 kits with the Coopers Fermenter. I did the first 3 and they all tasted the same, a very high wine/champagne taste. Not good. Poured them out. I have a Coopers Lager left. Im assuming something...

Thank you both for your comments.:mug:

1. Just got my new kegs. Im wondering if you guys cut the beer line at the bottom to raise it off the bottom. it seems to be right at the bottom. I may just 2nd ferment to take most of the yeast out, and again at kegging. 2. Got a new 5 gallon stainless steel pot. Are there any issues...

hmm, pretty cool, interesting design and features. seems like it might be hard to move it around full.

I have to admit I'm pretty new, only 4 brews in. not knowing any other i researched and kind fell into the coopers kit. It doesn't have a bubbler, the top just has a piston action, burping i think its called. I like how you can see whats going on, the fermentation, k collar forming, etc all...
