The zippered bags with the vacuum port kind of work. They will loose the seal over time. After I vacuum out those bags, I put a piece of clear packing tape over the port to help keep it sealed while in the freezer. But even then they will loose the seal although it does seam to last longer

It wouldn't hurt. What kind of line do you have now? If you don't have EVA barrier line, now would be a good time to switch. And I would get plenty of extra to outfit the new with it too (if it doesn't come with it).

If it makes you feel any better, you're not alone. I have the same thing going on with my Centennial. Happened last year too but I chalked that up to trying to harvest too late in the year (got busy and had no time, by then it was too late). Same thing this year and I'm note sure why either...

Are you using Rahr 2 row? That's pre-acidified somewhat to start with. To get around it, need to adjust the color, choose the SRM to be 5 instead of 2.

Should be fine after a good cleaning.

Breakside is good too but a little closer to a "commercial" brewery than a smaller independent one. Brujos has some higher ABV IPAs than can catch you off guard rather quick. They don't drink like 8+ ABV beers......

Brujos. And take an uber or have a DD.

That's a mistake. Never tell your wife when a project will be done. It will be held against you weather it's your fault or not for making a dead line. I promised to remodel our master bath in our "new" house. It's been 10+ years so far and I haven't started yet😁

I was going to use the kegland attachment in a 2L to put the beer in AND to get it out after freezing. Will that still work?

The portion that freezes will be at the top, with liquid at the bottom? Or is it the other way around?

So, I have a finished beer that I want to see if I can up the ABV on. Beer SG 1.062, FG 1.008 so about 7% ABV currently. If I transfer the finished beer into a 2 liter bottle, freeze it then transfer the unfrozen liquid to another bottle, will that essentially work? Any way to predict what the...

See here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/how-to-convert-a-perlick-low-profile-sankey-tap-to-ball-lock.385478/ some of the part numbers dont work anymore but you get the idea.

But I'm thinking I'll need a bit more power than just ice. Irregardless, I'll be starting there first. I just got a box of fittings from you Bobby to have a go on the new to me fermenter.

Wasn't sure if I should start a new thread or add it here but..... Anyone ever try using a countertop ice machine? I thought about trying that vs using an AC unit in a cooler. A countertop IM would give me a smaller footprint (which helps me out) but it may reduce the chilling potential (I'll...

Interested. Would sure beat my wired temp probes!

Yes, but you can differentiate between multiple gas/beer QDs or which tap the QD belongs too.

......until you have beer backup in a gas line. If it's not clear, how would you know it needs cleaning? Personally I use different colored zip ties on the ends of all my lines.

Is it oxidation? Kinda looks like it.... I'm not casting stones, far be it from me in all honesty. Trying to understand your situation.

1840 has a spot in WB.....
