    So I have been brewing for a couple years now but have always used the BIAB method. I am putting together a 2V herms system using a counterflow chiller as a sort of external Herms coil.

    Connecticut Looking to trade 14 gallon Unitank for 7 gallon.

    SO I currently have an SSBrewtech 14 gallon unitank. I really thought I would be doing more 10 gallon batches but honestly just end up doing 5 gallon batches.

    Carbing during fermentation and cold crash

    So I have a question. I usually start my carbing naturally in my unitank. Generally I will close the blow off valve around day 3-4. I am surprised that even with only .010 points or so left how much pressure builds up. Pressure has gotten as high as 17-18 psi. My question is what to do when I...

    Any reason I can't add fruit puree after carbing and crashing?

    I am thinking of making a 10 gallon batch vs my usual 5 gallons and add fruit puree to half of it. I have a unitank and typically I add dry hops, cold crash, drop trub then carb via the carb stone before transferring to keg. Any reason I can't follow that process for the first 5 gallons then add...
