I found a good way to dry hop. I have stainless mesh tea ball that I fill with the hops and place them at the top of the fermonster, out of the wort, held by a magnet. When it is time for dry hopping, pull the outside magnet and the tea ball drops in...

I made this assembly, and it works great, I have brewed 4 time with it and they have all been great. One small question. The connections I put in the lid leak, not a lot but it "hisses" when I am doing a pressure transfer to my keg. I have a washer in the set up, but it is not pressure tight...

Thank you for the response that was helpful. I cannot take a SG because I am using a closed system.

Just brewed a English Pale Ale

Hi: I am making the "I love IPAs" Two hearts clone using Cali yeast. It was fermenting for about two day and then stopped. Do you think it is stalled? Thanks

I have a question. How does SS ferment using their open Yorkshire Squares when oxygen is so detrimental to quality beer.

Here is where we are; I have the fermentation going along fine. I put a heating pad on it becasue my basement runs about 63 - 64 when it is sunny outside (thermostat placement). I looked today and the hop bag is still above the wort but the pellets have expanded because of the humid...

I have a problem. I received everything to put this together BUT - the gas/liquid out are hard connected to the piece that is supposed to screw on to the ferzilla. See pictures. How can I use this on the fermonster.

Perhaps someone already stated this, anyway... I saw a video where a guy had a great idea for dry hopping without opening the fermonster. After he put the wort in the fermonster he took the bag of dry hops and put the bag in the fermonster at the top, out of the wort, and held it there with...

Thanks - I think I did not explain well. When fermenting in the fermonster how do I exhaust the CO2? That is what I do not understand. Thanks, I'm new.

Yes - some sanitizer. Will that work?

Could I just connect the CO2 post to a 3 ft. hose to the bucket?

I have another question, hard to believe I know. I am making the Brewers Best Imperial Brown Ale. I followed the instructions to the letter. When I pitched my yeast I took an hydrometer reading of 1.06. I was concerned because the direction say it should be 1.071 to 1.075, but what could I...

Thank you all. I think I will invest in a closed system based on the Fermonster. I will ciphan the IBA and hope for the best. I do appriciate all the advice.

Soon I will be kegging my IBA. I want to avoid oxidation as much as possible, but I will need to use the siphon. Will it help if I fill the keg with CO2 before I siphon, given that CO2 is heavier that room air.

Thanks everyone for your responses. It's an Imperial Brown Ale. As I was putting the airlock back in the primary fermenter the grommet fell in the fermentor. I just placed the airlock in the hole and put a couple of starsan soaked paper towels around to secure it. Everything seems to be...

So the airlock got clogged, so I cleaned it out. Then again and the grommet fell in the fermentor, so I packed paper towels soaked in sanitizer around the base. Seems like in the future I need a better solution. The "S" air locks don't seem much better. Are there other options out there?
