    Oh S&%# - 1 gal of iodophor solution in the fermenter!

    Okay, as embarrassing as it is to admit... (it was late, so...) When preparing to drain the wort from my last batch into the fermenter: I shook the 1 gallon of 15ppm iodophor solution around in my carboy, then set it on the floor in my kitchen. I thought, hmmmm... you should just dump that...

    Beer Geyser! Not as good as it sounds

    Hello, So I cooked up the first batch last night. Just under 5 gallons in a 5 gallon glass carboy. I realized that I had reason for concern and decided to replace the fermentation lock with a blowoff hose today. I bought the necessary plastic tubing and removed the rubber cork from the...

    Plastic?

    So what do you guys think about plastic in brewing? I have always been a bit reluctant to using plastics in cooking and storing food (I use only glass, cast iron, and stainless steal).

    Help choosing a SS conical

    So, I'm in the market for a conical -- 2 actually. I do 10 gallon batches, but I'd probably split it between 2 conicals so I could move them from brew area to cooler. I'd also want to bottle straight from them. I don't think I could pick up a full 14 gallon conical. I'm looking at...

    How long can a beer stay in 2ndry fermentation?

    Right now, I bottle my brew (will make it to keg land some day). I want to be able to keep a stock of brew rotating and let some brew sit in my 2ndry for some extended periods. How long can I comfortably keep my ales in a 2ndry without risking of taking on off-flavors? One of the issues is...

    Conical Fermenter from Pony Keg

    Quick question, I have Pony Keg I am thinking about converting to a conical fermenter. I found an SS cone to weld on. The only thing is that I don't know if it has enough slope to be useful. It is 13" major dia, 2" minor dia, and 5" tall. Any thoughts? Thanks
