You shouldn't bleed off the CO2 from your keg. The pressure build up is what keeps the CO2 in solution.

And they only cost 10 cents each (CRV).

I stopped bottling when I started brewing 10 gallon batches. Now I always brew 20 gallons. I can't even imagine bottling 20 gallons.

Just clean it real good. I'm a fan of the bleach idea. Sorry to hear about your misfortune. What a mess.

Unless you have a real good reason for waiting, I'd pitch your yeast right away.

Yep, it's hard to resist. And then they go so fast.

I have always used the factor of .131. It doesn't change the out come very much though.

Good to hear.

Plastic is fine for a starter. If you drink apple juice pick up a couple Martinelli's apple juice in the juice aisle. They are 1.5 ltr Glass and are great for starters.

Let us know how that works out. Always looking for innovative way to brew.

That might do the trick. Maybe wrap it with a blanket to help insulate it.

I would leave it in to ferment a while longer. Where do you have your fermenter? If it's in the garage, you might want to bring it into the house to get the temperature up closer to 70.

That would have to cascade. I use it in many of the beers I make.

If you're not using a 6.5 gallon carboy as your primary fermenter you should. Then the need for a blow off tube will only arise when you make really hight gravity beers. When I do need a blow off tube I use tubing that just fits into the opening of the carboy (smaller tubing can still get...

If you're going to do it like the instruction say the extra water needs to be cooled. Probably almost frozen. That will help bring your temp down quick.

I've never been that concerned about that. But if you are you could buy a couple pounds of DME just in case.
