I liquid purge kegs. I use this chart on dry hop chambers and other pieces of equipment that can’t be liquid purged. It’s more to show that a few blips of co2 won’t remove enough o2 for these beers.

I'm planning on getting a conical to not have to deal with the intermediate keg. I lose so much volume by going over to a corny for the dry hop. I usually brew 6.5 gallons into the ferm and would love to just dump and dry hop in there, but my coldside equipment stinks. Like Dgallo said...

What temps are you dry hopping at? Crashing all yeast out beforehand?

awesome notes! I'm still getting through it, but your notes match mine, so far. It's so cool how different each of their processes is, while still making the best hazy ipa's on the planet. I was surprised at how many turns each uses. Knocking out a day or two into fermentation on top of the...

Here we go!!!

Update: Just saw on Spike's site that they are working on a jacketed fermentor with a jacketed cone. I'm going to just wait for that

After reading more, I'm considering moving the spectrum addition to right before the soft crash

Where are you getting the shaking requirement? I figured just a few ounces of warm water would make a nice solution to have waiting in the serving keg

Did anyone buy a 14 gal version of the unitank 2.0? I'm trying to figure out volumes and my math shows it should be able to handle 5 gallon batches. I'm just using the stock photo, but when blown up, I measure with a ruler (ratio of heights are all that matter for my calculation): height of...

The whitepaper says it dissolves cold, so I don't think it has to be during active fermentation. I'm going to try this and report back: 30% Pilsner 35% Oat Malt 10% Flaked Oat 14% Spelt 8% Carafoam 3% Acid Mash 155 degF Ca/Cl/SO4 100/240/80 Mash pH 5.1 Oxblox in mash FWH Simcoe 25 IBU 10...

How did this one turn out? I'm considering giving my next batch a bit of spectrum in the serving keg, as well. Did you use the full 20 g container?

I've had really good results with 1318 and coastal haze. Has anyone ever co-pitched these? I'm getting bored with going back to the same old recipes. One of my best beers was surprisingly a co-pitch of S04:US05 at a 2:1 ratio. Didn't expect it and am wondering if there are some other co-pitch...

I used 0.3 g/gal Not too sure what made the biggest difference. I incorporated oxblox and ALDC for the first time. I figure they’re both cheap enough and beneficial that I’ll continue to use both

really nice! Soft, smooth, and noticeable fruit. This is my first time using Nectaron, and it is just ridiculous. The beer finished much dryer than I expected, but it's still very full-bodied. I'll be brewing an oat-heavy hazy soon with Superdelic hops, which I've never even heard of until...

Longtime lurker, here. I have recently modified my approach to this style. I used to high krausen dry hop about a third of the DH and then finish off with a bigger near the end of fermentation, followed by a little more in a dry hop canister in the serving keg (if necessary). This was all...

How do you soft crash in the anvil? And are you just gravity feeding the keg? Doesn't the sanitizer and o2 vacuum into the fermenter while you're transferring?

I know this is an older thread, but I'll shed some guidance. Baker's chocolate, or anything you add during the boil will not lead to infections in your keg. The sourness was caused by an infection of an infection during or after fermentation. For my pastry stouts, I add a combination of...

How’d this work? I usually cold crash then just rack from the gas out with the keg on its side, but I’d like to try the floating dip tube method. My fermzilla crashes everything out and I don’t have any clogging issues, but I’ve never tried with a corny keg

Henry's law can also help in understanding this scenario. It pretty much quantifies what was mentioned above with partial pressures with simple equations. The CO2(gas) inside of your canister will dissolve more readily into the CO2(liquid) inside of the container as temperature drops, leaving...
