The solo cups kinda suck. They split after a few uses. I am now using silicon bread pans and some silicon sand buckets. They stretch when the ice bulges amd can be reused for a long time. It's also easier to remove the ice.

Just weight the whole bag and subttact the 1 lb of hops in the bag. Assuming they did not under or over weigh the contents at the time of packaging.

Bar keepers friend might help. Could just be an oxide layer from the heat. Use reflectix and make a jacket. It looks decent and works very well. It's found in the hardware store by water heaters.

Disassemble and reassemble while everything is dry. Then water test. If it doesn't leak at that point you should be gtg. Like daytripper I too have all wellness fittings on my cold side and once sealed they have never leaked for me. Hope this helps.

Hot side - hot water rinse and a caustic brewery clean every 5 pr so brews. I never take apart my valves on the hot side and have never had an issue in 6 years. Cold side - after fermentation I boil my fermenter with a gallon or two for 30 mins dry upside down and spray with Starman and let...

Water and o2 elimination on cold side would be next for me

Put this monster of a hop dropper on my conical. 4 inch spool with 4 inch height. It can probably hold a full mason jar of hops no problem. So ridiculous lol. 😄

Kegged with my little guy

I took on the habit of boiling until I reach estimated gravity per recipe in brew software. I also have to fill my hlt with 5 gallon extra water for the herms coil and walk away often. Sometimes this means I collect extra wort and have to boil longer.

Also purged a keg for transfer tomorrow, closed a work deal and am currently celebrating with homebrew! Feels great to be working successfully again!

Got fittings to use soda bottles as close transfer growlers. Aka super poor man's counter pressure soda bottle filler.

Screw the racking arm. Throw a liquid ball lock on a tc fitting with a floating dip tube on it. Are you pressure fermenting at all or doing the whole ferment at normal pressures? Does this make a difference in beer clarification Could it be a difference in vessel shape that aids in yeast floc...

Ordered a butterfly valve and spool for a 4 inch tc diy hop dropper.

Any updates? Did you try shaking the fermenter to rouse the yeast at all?

Any oxidation effects from the extra headspace since it's been kegged?

So what exactly is your process? Do you use a fermentation temp controller, what is it? Do you raise Temps at the end of fermentation at all? Are you only using kviek? Or do all your ipas get this strain? Cheers

Some moths get stuck on ur arm

First try on a 1bbl! Nice go big or go home.

If it were me in your situation I would go buy more yeast. I wouldn't necessarily pitch it right away though. I like having extra yeast on hand personally but I would assume there is going to be a bit of an extended lag time due to the date. I'd maybe wait till I was past the 24 hour mark but...

Fridges can be found for free if you are patient. I picked this up this week. I tried the cooling coil thing and like Bobby mentions I had a huge puddle in my garage and the was water all of the top of the conical. Each application is gonna be different. Ymmv
