Yeah i feel that for 1-2, but im normally cleaning 8-10 at a time, and half have been fermented in which is different than serving keg dirty. Any thoughts/suggestions on the pump?

Awesome rig! Sounds like you are getting good pressure out of your pump which is suprising to me. I have been researching this pretty extensively for corny keg CIP. I got to the point where I took a chance on the blichman riptide hoping it would be strong enough for the job. This seems like it...

putting a pulley on a small track and using a carboy holder as a pulley harness works well.

Test the PH first. If it is above 4 drop the PH before drinking it. Check out milkthefunk on how to ensure if any beer is safe to drink.

I'm looking to build a 2-3 peice bucket corny cleaning system with: - a high power pump sitting on a false bottom - CIP ball and dip tube connections - heating element sitting underneath the false bottom? I also have a 15gal kettle with a triclover for a heating element, this could serve as...

I read the first 2 posts on that thread, and it seems pretty anecdotal, might have worked a few times for someone, but yeast is pretty hardy. Its going again because you added juice again, the yeast may have went temporarily dormant but some will wake back up and start working on the newly...

Cheaper alternative, go to a bar that doesn't take care of their lines.;) You will find it very educational. The off flavor "spiked" drinks do help, but they do not taste exactly like a beer where the off flavors occurred naturally, just a heads up. Definitely gets you in the ballpark and might...

Here is a favorite of my girlfriend's. :rolleyes:Working Man's Lunch by Fullsteam. Clean and quaffable with just a little chocolate and vanilla to keep you going, not cloying at all. https://www.fullsteam.ag/beer/working-mans-lunch

I am definitely interested!

Pitched it! We will see what happens. My dude at the LHBS says he has xp with this yeast and has seen this before not to worry.

Melbourne wlp059, heres a pic. Can run to lhbs for more yeast if needed.

Hey quick question, has anyone ever experienced dark particulate in their white labs yeast vials? I just noticed right before about to pitch that there are a lot of small dark chunks in a platinum strain of yeast. Is this ok? Any help appreciated!

Hopefully it cleans itself up! Two things I think about is that 1.057 is a touch high for no starter unless you pitch 2 packs, and going from the higher to lower temps probably threw the yeast off a bit. Let us know how it turns out!

Heres what the final malt bill looked like, brewing now.

I liked the idea of keeping the pump away from the element thats what got me thinking about the kettle because the pump would have dual purpose since i dont currently recirc, this would also get me close to set me up for 120v ebiab, though I probably wont use it for that without a controller and...

I like the sound of that setup! But it does seem like a downside to cleaning in the kettle. If I kept it a bucket build it would be fairly easy to rinse the bucket quickly in the tub as I'll have a hose pulled from my washer dryer hookup for the rinsing cycle for the kegs. Looks like a simple...

Looking through the hundred of recipes covering a span from 1790 to 1989 I definitely agree with you! Its insane the variance we have in this style which makes you speculate into how Milds originated and evolved. I love the low gravity recipes, but am curious about some of these high gravity...

I will say I've had something similar happen with a NEIPA using a classically low floccing yeast strain. I kept seeing bubbles surfacing and stuff moving around even during bottling. But the OG hadn't changed after a week of trying to let it settle down and I bottled in this state, where entire...

I previously followed a very similar method of quick rinse/sani run. I am going to give this a shot again for the serving kegs. But during a busy month I ended up with a batch that was putting off some intense Isovaleric or Butyric. Could have been the hops because they weren't commonly used...
