6.5 is 14.25 inches deep.

Here's reply number 34 and still nothing more from Stoutish. Scared off? Ticked off?

This turned into a pretty decent thread from a newcomer. Well Done Stoutish!

Point well taken. that's ~$50.oo worth of ingredients for next couple of brews:ban:

No--didn't notice that. oh well...

Or a large tub of water and an aquarium heater

If it is smaller than a standard corny, that would be a problem. I can deal with it if it's the same. Not sure it's worth the time/effort to switch tho, I guess

Anvil has a sale on now--5 gallon fermenter is half off at $49.00. Anyone have experience using these? I currently ferment in a Corney with a floating diptube and like it in general for c. 4 1/2 -5(ish) gallon batches but at about 50 bucks the anvil might be a bit easier to clean. Thoughts? Thanks!

Probably neater than the plastic wrap and duct tape that I used:ghostly:

Only seal the top and two sides, leaving the bottom alone

This is what I do. Daisy chain 2 kegs, put dry hops in first keg and purge them with fermentation gas, then when it's time, transfer from the fermentation keg to the dry hop keg. When dry hop finished transfer into the purged serve keg. As wdavis2003 said, I make 4.5 gal. batches and a floating...

There is the reset button next to the 120/240 switch, but you have probably already tried that. There is another on the underside of the unit that trips on a dry kettle--maybe it has tripped?

Mine has never come out, but I have heard that others just don't worry about it--it's not needed for most

So Yooper--what did you end up with?

I currently ferment in a Corny keg . I see that Anvil has the 5 gallon fermenter king junior on sale half off at $45.00. Anyone have any experience with this? See any advantages, other than being able to see what's going on? At that price point, I admit I am tempted.

AHA!! I had hoped to use the adapter with my 6.5 but was told by Blichmann that it would not work. I have puzzled over that for 3 weeks. Now I see why it won't.

If you are going to add DME it would be better to add it while fermentation is going on to minimize oxidation. However, that carries its own set of problems--fermenter volume/space, etc. would necessitate pulling some of the fermenting wort to dissolve the DME in so you don't overload the...

I'm right there with you bud! About 20 years ago I was working on a 2 story apartment roof and backed right off it. Shattered 2 vertebrae and spent 4 months in a body cast. I still get "The Lecture".

OK--Now we need to know how you finagled that

I meant the residual lacing on the glass that makes it foam more, providing the nucleation points. (Unless he's rinsing in between) I see it all the time when I reuse the same glass for a second pour.
