AH...Looks like I need to invest in a large colander as this makes tons of sense! Thanks!

So I drove down to Great Fermentations in Indianapolis, IN and had one of the guys there set me up with a BIAB recipe. He was pretty great about going over all the hops in the fridge, which were delicious, and we chatted about BIAB efficiency, temps and a couple other things. He set me up with a...

Ive been eyeballing the cereal killer for a flat Benjamin the last couple weeks.

Here's is my haul for St. Patricks Day! Oatmeal stout, Irish Stout and Irish Red.

Well, I just placed an order for a 3ga ball lock corney keg from them so we will see!

Do you prefer the 2.5 over the 3 gallon because you can just half the ingredients of a 5 gallon batch?

Thanks for the offer and contest! I would love to win a couple of them ball locks! It would force me to make a new keezer for in the house! :p

I almost went with #2 option but read on a here that most people pressurize and serve around the same PSI roughly using the chart. http://www.brewersfriend.com/keg-carbonation-calculator/ I'm using a 4 block manifold and I'm able to shut off all the valves except for one and carb up a new keg...

So yeah. This started a few weeks ago after much deliberation on what size to go with. It was quite easy but I made it more difficult that I should have. It was fun and it's functional. Oh yeah and add $100-200 to whatever you think you will end up spending on this project. Still worth it. That...

Hahaha. Yeah right! ;-)

I do not inject O2 or aerate with a stone. I do agitate heavily when I transfer to fermenter. Even during the summer and it was in the 70s in my garage I could not get under the 1.020 mark.

A majority have been dry yeast Salafe 04 or 05. I brought my last 2 batches inside and they are still bubbling in the fermentor.

SG around 1.050 or 1.055. All have been LME + Grain.

I have a climate controlled garage, IE it won't get below 60 degrees F most of the time. That being said, most of my final gravities on my home brews end around 1.020. I have 2 different devices that I use and they are similar in readings. They taste fine, a touch sweet, but are drinkable...

It was 16 degrees F this weekend in northern Indiana but still hit temps from the garage! A sealed lid on top and in the subfreezing temps allows it to cool very quickly actually! =)

HAHAHAHAAHAAH! Nice!;) That being said, I now own a truck so yeah...

That thing is a beast! You gonna paint it or what?

That's why I took these first steps over the weekend. Sorry for your loss and best of luck to you!
