    Sanke Fermenter Conversion

    7 years of fermenting in 2 plastic buckets that exploded quite often. Finally upgraded 2 batches ago. I agree that there a little heavy compared to the split batches, thats why I have a little plywood on casters to wheel the beast around.

    Screwed up, loose hops in the keg - how do I fix it?

    Just get your arm nice and clean the night before, pull the dip tube out enought to get the ss scrubby on and you should be good. I had a problem doing it that way up until the dip tube was un-clogged. Since your pulling it out, give it a clean before putting the scrubby on. Don't worry about...

    The quickest you've ever drank a batch

    Not too much beer in 5 gallons, about 40 pints. On average my consumption is about 3 weeks. Got a roommate(weekend drinker) and a girlfriend(light drinker) so adding that 5 gallon kegs last about 2weeks.

    Foam but no carbonation

    Simply sounds over-carbonated.

    kriek?

    I have since learned when fermenting with fruit, the later the better. Aggressive primary fermentation usually destroys the delicate fruit aroma/flavor. The beverage definitely lacked fruit profile.

    All grain equipment advice needed

    Bigger the brew pot the better, but if you have an 8 gal already no need to replace. Efficiency helps adjust recipes to be accurate, not necessarily gonna make bad beer not paying attention to it. Also helps cost on grain bill, but grain is cheap. Software for me is nice cause it has formulas...

    Cobra/Picnic tap users

    If you get around to building that collar, you may want to get some faucet covers if your worried about stuff getting in there. I picked up a bunch at the homebrew store and besides keeping stuff out they keep the faucets from sticking.

    Temp in freezer while using a fridge to lager?

    Mine doesn't. If i go anywhere above 40 I've got a useless box. Interesting how mine works though, the coils are actually in the freezer. thermo in the fridge. The dial that controls the freezer temp opens or closes air flow to the fridge, cutting off the compressor when the fridge gets to temp...

    Bottling bigger beers

    what they said. I had a wee heavy that started at 1.110 and finished at 1.020. Aged it on oak for 4 months. Had concerns that it would not carbonate. Came out great. It probley took a little longer but its not like it hurts to wait on something like this (2 months compared to the 4 weeks).

    Using real pumpkin

    The smaller pumpkins make better for cooking, sweeter. When I made my pumpkin cheesecake I took one small pumpkin (also called sugar/cheese pumkin), cut in half, scooped out insides, put cut half's on an oiled cookie sheet, that goes into a 350 oven for an hour. Too keep it from drying out put a...

    Refrigerator Help

    sounds silly but try another outlet. Otherwise sounds like a short or ground fault. But I don't think it would even come on if there was a short.

    Etching the inside of a brew kettle.
