Throw it away or sell it to some noob. Use the money to buy a nice bucket fermenter or PET carboy. Glass carboys are ticking time bombs- not worth the risk. Heavy and inconvenient.

This helps prevent oxidation. You don’t even really need a spunding valve, although it helps monitor process. 1) Buy a floating dip tube 2) Keg when about 4 points from final FG. 3) Attach spunding valve adjusted for 30-35 psi. This allows it to clean up any oxygen picked up during transfer and...

This is what I was thinking. Since switching to closed transfers, I’ve been dry hoping in primary near high krausen so air exposure isn’t of concern.... but a lot of IPA recipes call for additional dry hops. I may be able to add more hop flavor by letting hops steep in some of the beer in a 1-2L...

During my last fermentation that finished yesterday, fermentrack and tiltbridge both seemed to lose connection every few days.

There are no disadvantages.

Have you guys done this to add “hop tea” as an alternative way of dry hopping?

There is no point to recirculating BIAB (to keep temp at 1 constant temp; there are exceptions of course: e.g. step mashes). This is not to mention the water that passes through many of the sous vide immersion circulators is not meant for consumption due to the parts it comes in contact with...

I have never done a partigyle, so i'm far from an expert on the topic. I’m always brewing to replace 1 of my kegs. But perhaps i could just bottle the partigyle batch. If you do a search, there are many posts on doing partigyle with BIAB. One of them that seemed to answer the question...

Meaning, there is no reason to use a 3 tier system over biab at the homebrew level. Sure both ways make good beer with the same endpoint. But biab is a faster, easier, and cheaper way of meeting that endpoint.

Its the only way to brew all grain. No reason to do it any other way. It's a faster and simpler way of making beer.

So the tiltbridge quit picking up my tilt. I tried turn off and back on but it didn’t help. Fermentrack is connecting to it. Regrettably, i clicked the OTA update for the tiltbridge. It’s been updating for a couple hours now. Should i keep waiting or can i unplug (without bricking it) and...

what are you doing with the ginger?

Try copying settings in these images. I only have the plaato keg on 4 of my taps so far. And then to get the last pour to update i modified a line in index.php so that the page reloads every 10 seconds:

Yeah, I’m happy with fermenter otherwise. I was just trying to figure out exactly how much it was off by. 0.5 gal was an estimate by me... all these years I’ve always taken final volume in fermenter; so i only had quickly glanced at my kettle volume after cooling. 0.25 gal could be about right.

plaato kegs working for me. I had to email them for the auth code. Then you have to go through config and enable appropriate settings to display keg levels.

I checked kettle volume after cooling and after taking immersion cooker out. I left very little trub... basically just a coating of solids on the bottom. I’ll double check the fermenter when I’m done fermenting.

Right from Anvil January 2020. It was missing the o-ring when they mailed it to me. Maybe it was "reconditioned". Brewed 3rd beer in it today and again came up about 0.5 gal short, which got me thinking. I keep forgetting to check it. But I checked to make sure my kettle was correct when I...

They must have sent me an old one. Darn

did anyone ever figure out by how much the volume markings are off on the 7.5 gal version of this bucket? Seems to be off by about 1/2 gallon.

... and i just got an email saying they sold out. So clearly they’re doing business.
