I have two Grainfather Conical Fermenters and the manufacture recommends dumping yeast and sediment every 2-3 days. Experience with these fermenters shows when fermenting ales if this is not done the dump valve has a very hard time getting rid of the yeast and sediment. Can lager yeast be...

Just recently discovered Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale. Unfortunately it will soon not be available so I did some searching for clone recipes. I did find a good amount of information on the beer. Below are two recipes I found. Recipe #1 closely matches what Steve Dreseler from Sierra Nevada...

Anyone have a good way of getting rid of Star San foam in your keg prior to filling it? I find that the foam completely hides the beer level in the keg and I can't tell when to stop filling. Not to mention the foam spilling out the top makes a mess.
