I have been assuming that the crash will reduce inner keg pressure to below outside pressure. As Doug says, that cold beer will suck in a lot of co2. But I don't know. I could put a gauge on it and find out. When fermentation is finished and I'm about to crash the temperature, I remove the...

I"m not familiar with fermzilla PET fermenters. I am guessing the reason you don't seal it during a cold crash is that the depressurization could collapse it? I ferment in corny kegs. I seal them off during the crash and just let the depressurization happen. Perhaps my o rings would...

Yeah, thanks you two, that answers it. It's easier to keep it as it is.

Good morning all, I ferment and dispense in corny kegs. All but one of my kegs takes a 7/8 wrench to remove the post. One keg, however, takes a 11/16 wrench. It's a small annoyance, but it is annoying to have to search around for another wrench size. I"d like to swap out posts so all my...

Good to know. In the basic kegland one I have, I assumed it came in the correct length. I now see it is far too long. Also, now that I know what a pain it is to connect the kegland tube, with your hand inside the keg and reaching up blindly, I am delighted to see the FLOATit solves that...

BC, how do you determine the appropriate length to cut the FLOTit tube?

The "package" means a corny. I ferment in a corny, then do a cold crash and a closed transfer to a second corny for serving. This second serving corny goes in a kegerator

BC, I just ordered a FLOTit 2.0 I both ferment and package in corny kegs But I have my answer. For what I do, I think I'll slowly migrate over to FLOTit. Thanks, all

Yes, I did get the HED false bottom. It's a very good addition and I think should come with the original purchase. It makes the heating floor work properly, as it forces the wort to run over the entire floor. And it makes the recirculation system work properly, as the wort is no longer...

I have some of the standard dip tubes, picture below, and need to buy a few more. I ferment and package in corny kegs. Which is "best"? There are filter boxes to add, and FLOTit makes some nice ones, evidently. But really, is a filter necessary? My simple system seems to work. And a...

Well, that is a damn fine looking pils.

I like the idea of the easy yeast harvest. I often do a batch split in half. Take a six gallon recipe and make two batches of three gallons each, and two weeks apart. Then I am tasting the beer when making batch #2, so I know what to tweak. So that would be perfect for the second...

Since my pump drains from the bottom of the bk, I suppose I would just direct the first liter, say, into the sink, then turn the hose into the fermenter.

I use a corny.

Good morning all Not saying this is preferable, but it does work well for me. Last night I set my AIO (brewzilla g 4) for an overnight full volume mash. I started a full volume mash at 150f. The Bluetooth thermometer is installed in the mash. The heater is dialed down to 30%. The...

Does it matter when you remove the trub? When you transfer from the kettle to the fermenter, you could just throw out the first liter and get rid of much of the trub that way. Alternatively, you could transfer all the contents of the kettle, trub and all, into the fermenter. Then when you...

wr, you could try doing a smaller batch. that's what I do

Ah. As a scot, I once persuaded my Canadian wife, for about half an hour that we used to go Haggis hunting in the mountains back home. Fast little critters, like small feral pigs, found in the highlands, sadly nearly extinct now.

Ok, way off thread here, but enjoying it. As a Canadian, I have to ask, what plant does grits come from? I thought that was corn, but you said bushes? To me it sounds like mythical plants like the spaghetti trees of Napoli.

I enjoy your light hearted energy BC Although I’m serious about quantum entanglement. It always happens at the worst time. And usually down in the bottom plate.
