Thanks! Is there also a preferred tubing for beer and/or gas lines for the same reasons?

After my first fermentation in my unitank, a few of the white silicone gaskets (particularly in the dump valve area and the racking area) were stained pretty green. After scrubbing with PBW (and sanitizing with Star San), they are still greenish and even still giving off a hop odor. Is there a...

The pressure did slowly drop towards the end of the transfer. But the beer is pretty similar to what I was getting just before the transfer straight from the sample tap.

I had ended up waiting a full week after starting cold crashing, and 5 days after carbonating before I did the transfer -- excessive time, I thought!

Thank you, Qhrumphf and Advance -- those are great pointers! This forum is great.

My first fermentation in the SS Brewtech Unitank of a hazy IPA went pretty well, and I tried to do all the tricks: CO2-purged dry hopping, trub dumping, cold crashing, and carbonation in the unitank. When I was enjoying the benefits of the sampling valve, I noticed that my samples were pretty...

Thank you, all! This is really helpful. Love this forum!

Vale71, thanks. As I mentioned, the unitank is already under pressure -- is it still possible to dump all the trub once it's been pressurized / carbonated? Sorry for the newbie question, but how would I go about doing that without having everything explode out the dump valve?

Thank you, Bobby. I'll definitely get one of those for next time. Will that slip with just loosening, but not removing, the tri clamp? And any suggestions on how to escape my current dilemma? :ghostly:

Is there a workable procedure for rotating a SS Brewtech Unitank racking valve after the tank has been pressurized, in the case of: a) pressure fermentation, or b) an idiot like me forgets to rotate the valve between cold crashing and carbonation? It's my first time with the Unitank, and...
