I like this idea, and it might work for my winter brewing, but instead of ice I can just pack it full of snow.

if you are talking your airlock, I either use sanitizer solution or vodka :D

I do the same t shirt trick with all my brews since they have to be out in the open. I did find that when I use a carboy to ferment, I can loosen the straps of the brew hauler and stuff in icepacks and then tighten it back down. works like a charm to take the edge of the ambient heat of about 70

I did this one this past week. hit a little higher OG and ran out of fuel so only did a 45 minute boil but man does the airlock smell good. Notty took about 24 hours to hit the ground but then took off. looking to keg and crash this weekend. really looking forward to trying it, I think it...

So if I read that post correctly, I can simply leave enough beer to swirl around and make a slurry of the trub and yeast at the bottom of my fermenter, put it in a sterilized mason jar, cap and refer it? Then just pull it out a day or so ahead of brew day, and pitch like a quarter of it into my...

I just upgrade to a 15 gallon pot and did my first 10 gallon batch two weeks ago. I upgraded my burner to the kab4 banjo burner and its been great for what I need it for. I went a little over board because I do plan on brewing outside in the garage during winter, which can get a little frosty...

Gotta say, I just tried keg dry hop for the first time this weekend as well. I tried the floss trick, and couldn't get a good seal. Long story short, I just dumped the bag straight in. From what I read, you want to stick to the 2 week dry hop limit when its at room temp. If you crash it and...

the edelmetall is actually 10 cheaper then the blichmann at Midwest right now. certainly has my attention

but I don't have to worry about thermal shock If I were to just dump in a plastic fermenter, ie ale pale? But I cant put an air lock in since all the liquid would be sucked in

If I decide to do no chill, since I don't have water outside in the winter time, can I just let the wort cool for about 30 mins or so and then transfer to a glass carboy, or do I have to wait for a few hours till its much cooler?

Im glad I stumbled onto this thread. Being in the great white north, winters are brutal and I am going to be forced to use the garage. Lots of good pointers! Thanks

Looking for another ball lock so I can be cold conditioning my beer while finishing out the current keg. The LHBS wants a little too much for one right now. Anyone have one that isn't being used and is willing to ship? Send me a msg and we can work out the details. Thanks !
