Keep an eye on fermentation temps. Was this fermenter slightly warmer ( 2 degrees) than the ones that didn't lose beer? Was the OG bigger than what you have brewed in the past? Different yeast strain? Did you oxygenate this wort more than in the past? All of these components come into play...

The Back purge worked fantastic! It was my first time back purging so I practiced a bit on a scrap tube I had kicking around. I was quite surprised myself at how clean it was inside the keg after welding. It still needed some elbow grease and polishing but I got it.. I used a 4.5" grinder...

I thought I would make my first contribution to this site as I am new member... So here goes... I liked the Idea of Sabco's fermenter with the 4" tri clamp on the top. I thought this was a great idea because one could reach their whole arm in to clean properly but, I wasn't ready to drop the...

When in doubt refer the the yeast strains recommendations for temp.

Im still having troubles viewing my pics. Glad you can see them!

Pics of what makes it ll happen

I keg using Sankeys and they are quite challenging to clean at first. I have found that CLR is the only thing that works for me. My typical schedule would be OXY clean for 24 hours and then CLR for a day or two. It hasn't let me down yet. Hope this helps
