oooohhhh shiny. Looks great!

Looks beautiful! Great job!!!!

I really enjoy reading these types of posts. Its looking great so far. Looking forward to watching it progress into a fully functional keezer!

hmm, gonna have to try that method next time.

How do you add dry hops and keep the Co2 on?

Really good. Would've liked it to be a little more fruit forward but still getting nice notes of melon and pineapple. Very little bitter. Waiting for my brew buddies to come have a taste but others I have given some to say its probably the best Ive made yet. Previous batches have been...

Was a 9 gallon batch split between 2 5 gallon Cornys so about 4.5 gal in each.

So the fermentation went well, had some massive blowoff from the gas disconnect into a bottle of star san, ended up overflowing inside my chamber - My keezer needed a good wash anyway. Transfer went quick, clean and easy. Say goodbye to carboys cause this is the way to go. I fermented these...

Looks great. Would love to see pics of the inside or with the doors open. Great work!

Cool - one thing I do notice about fermenting in the kegs is when I go to add dry hops I get one helluva big whiff of beer - much more than I did with my carboys lol

Ugh - so I did my 2nd dry hop addition this morning and the o-ring around the center lid fell in the brew. I had another o -ring so I just used anothe but now I have the original o-ring sitting in my beer for the next couple days before I cold crash and transfer. Should I be concerned? The...

Thank you so much - I will use your method for purging the serving kegs.

Dont get me wrong, I really appreciate the advice. Im just trying to wrap my head around all of this as it is pretty new to me. What I was planning to do it this. I have a corny keg that I have cleaned and sanitized and currently has about 4 gallons of star san mix in it now. I was planning...

That seems a little excessive. I mean I have had oxidized beer before but im pretty sure that was happening when I transferred from carboy to keg - tried not to splash at all but somehow beer still got oxygen in it. One of the main reasons I am trying a keg as a fermenter is to lower the risk...

Nice job, Very clean!

ewww. I guess Ill stay away from adding orange. I plan to pressure transfer to another corny. I currently have a floating dip tube with a filter in my fermenting keg but a normal dip tube in the serving keg. Wild yeast scares me now. I dont want to do anything to jeopardize the batch so...

New England Juicy IPA - added a little corn sugar to up the ABV. Was thinking of Pineapple and orange. Never added fruit before - just trying to get it to be like some of the excellent local beers Ive had. Looking for good body, intense flavor with a high ABV. OG was spot on with my recipe...

Wild yeast would restart fermentation, yes? What problems could incur from fermentation starting back up? Is there another way I can add fruit without worrying about wild yeast?

So this is my first attempt at fermenting in corny kegs. I put about 4.5 gallons of wort along with yeast starter into a 5 gallon corny keg, attached gas disconnect with hose running into bottle of star san. Fermentation seemed to go well as I heard and saw plenty of bubbles and there was some...
