I've had grassy flavors before that faded over time though I've never done 10 oz dry hop before. Maybe time to let the hops settle will help. I just finished my fort point that I pictured in my last post. After 5 weeks it really cleared up with the floating dip tube. I've yet to open the keg to...

Haha yeah that's what confused me as well. Maybe I'll try what @petemoss suggests and add during active fermentation. To ensure its added before high krausen maybe add 12-24 hours after pitching yeast?

Sorry I may have not been clear. Right now I chill the wort as cool as I can which during the summer in the South is about 80F. I then put the wort in the closed corny keg into my chest freezer with a temp controller and let it chill to about 65F. At that point I typically aerate and pitch...

TLDR: When to add fermcap, oxygen, and yeast to prevent mixing of Fermcap with yeast? I have recently begun to ferment in corny kegs and due to messy blowoff of 5 gal batches I decided to use Kerry Fermcap S in my last batch. I added the Fermcap immediately after transferring cool wort (~80F)...

I dry hopped at 60 hours, reached FG after 206 hours. Then I either cold crashed then or 24 hours later (didn't take good notes). Overall I pitched yeast on August 6th and was drinking on August 17th. At that point it tasted great, but it definitely had noticable trub that settled to the bottom...

Yeah I've got a Trillium Fort Point clone on tap right now that has 2.5 oz mosiac pellets and 2.5 oz citra pellets dry hopped in 5 gallons. Ive had it on tap now about 2 weeks and imI probably about half way through the keg. I haven't noticed the harsh hop flavor I had on my last batch and I...

I added the hops loose after about 85% through fermentation or with about 5 points left. Then spund at 26 psi. Chilled on day 11, drinking day 12. Like you indicate maybe it's yeast dependent and some strains interact with the hops differently under pressure. I use WLP007 which is highly...

Side by side experiment would be interesting. Brulosophy did an exbeeriment on a zombie dust clone with pressure fermentation, but unfortunately they skipped the dry hops. I haven't had any negative experiences yet on getting weird or dull hop flavors when dry hopping under pressure. I've got a...

I've wondered the same. I pretty much exclusively brew with wlp007 and haven't had any issues. Though I could see it being strain dependent. Chris White and John Blichman did a study on pressure fermentation and I believe they recommended using 15 psi to ferment a lager at ale temps to...

Besides pulling samples during fermentation to get gravity reading I waited about a week at 45F before pouring pints. When I opened up the keg after the clogging I found all the leaf hops still floating (which from my experience they don't sink). The hops had to be covering the first few inches...

Well disaster struck last night. Due to the haze and harsh flavor I decided to transfer to another keg with gelatin. At first transfer went well, but about 3 gals in I was pulling nothing but foam. Opened the keg to find the floating dip tube clogged. Tried cleaning it and transfering again...

So far it appears to be working fine. Im using it in a keg that is being used both for fermentation and serving. It has included 3.75 oz of dry hops (mix of pellets and leaf). Right now it is cold crashing, and I have pulled off a pint with no trouble. So the dry hops aren't clogging the filter...

You could consider the inkbird ipb-16 controller. It's prebuilt, but there are some minor mods you could do to improve it which would give you some experience doing minor electrical work. Looks like it supports up to 240v 12A or 120v 15A. You would likely need a second heat source so either...

You can get extension cords online for a decent price. I got mine off Amazon from MPI tools for less than $2 a foot (3-wire). Its a little more expensive for the typical 4-wire setup. You're gonna hear varying arguments with regards to 240v vs 120v dual elements. At the end of the day you have...

You need a 240V 30A circuit. The most likely source of power would be a laundry dryer outlet. You may have other appliances on 240V circuits, but typically these outlets are not as accessible (range, furnace, etc). So if the apartment comes with a dryer or atleast a laundry room you should...

Attached are some photos of a few floating dip tubes I made this past weekend. Giving one a first try now. I only tested to see if it would float, but seems promising thus far.

It's been 2 months since I started the batch in my previous posts. It was pretty clear after about 6 weeks.

Good find. Only complaint with these is it took a while to get them delivered, but if you're fine waiting it is about 1/3 the price you would pay for with Amazon prime shipping. Got my PWM back working. I'm an idiot and rewired it backwards when I installed the pigtails.

Base plate would look a lot neater for sure. When I click the link you posted the item it takes me to says in the title good for 10-60V. Description says 10A at 24v. These motors draw I think 1.8-2.0A. Edit. Realized you are probably talking about the plugs duh. The wire appears to be 22 awg...

I like the look of these and may consider one as a replacement. For my setup I could attach this externally to my controller box via screws. Since you don't want to void your warranty could you use industrial Velcro to attach to your controller if you have space? Probably not ideal but may...
