Need to do that for my next batch, thanks for sharing the photo!

Thank you for sharing this. I did not know about the Fermonster. Picked one up today, will be fermenting my next batch in it.

Exactly, those ridges are so hard to clean and I am sure there might be some gunk in there. Plus this lid is not sealing well, there was no airlock activity. Right, before getting those new buckets/lids, I was using the white Ropak lids like this one. I have not tried removing the inner piece...

This is the bucket and this is the lid. These lids are especially hard to wash on the inside because they have a lot of small sections for support on the inside, it looks like a ring close to the edge. Hard to get a sponge in there to wash each of them, I will get rid of them. I was previously...

LOL, yeah. I'm not sure how "infected" it is, but it turned out just fine. The local breweries have some weird offerings, or maybe I'm just too picky and looking for specific stuff.

It's not in a bucket anymore, I kegged it the same evening when I opened this thread. Let it sit in the fridge on CO2 for a few days and tried it yesterday, it tasted good, but not great. It was a little watery and a little flat (not enough CO2), so I bumped the CO2 to 35psi and let it sit more...

Thanks for the feedback! Any ideas what could cause this? The batch before this one also went bad, but it was much worse, it had green mold all over the top and smelled bad, had to dump it. It was in the fermenter for around 2 weeks. I think I caught this one early. I noticed there was no...

Found this thread with a very similar stuff: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/my-triple-has-mold.344275/ I gave it a good sniff and it had a nice banana smell, so I kegged it (I have a tap on the bucket, so it drained from the bottom and dumped the white stuff out). Will let it sit in the...

Hey everyone! I brewed a hefe around 10 days ago and it was in the fermenter until now, got ready to keg it and saw this. I first checked the gravity without opening the bucket and it was a 1.06, then tasted it and it tasted ok, like a hefe but had some chunks floating in it. When I opened the...

Thanks guys, appreciate the advice! I let it sit on CO2 in the kegerator and will try is in the next few days just to see how it tastes when it's carbonated. I have thirsty friends coming over for the holidays, so we might finish it, I was more concerned about food poisoning and something like...

Hey everyone! I brewed a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale around 2 weeks ago with US-05, fermented to 1.010 within a week, but I didn't have time to keg it so I left it for another 3 days qt 68F, then cold crashed to 36F and let it sit for another 3-4 days. Finally I had some time to keg it today and...

Hey everyone! I am from NC, been brewing for the last few years and recently been reading a lot on this forum, so it was time to join. Hope to learn a lot from everyone here! Cheers
