stout on the left (hit 1.070... should be a fun one)
IPA on the right (1.060ish)
 
Looks good! I just bottled a chocolate stout and started drinking my Founders' Rye clone. Do you get away with just an airlock for fermenters? I always seem to need to use a tube and bottle and not use an airlock until the secondary (if I need a secondary).
I just acquired a third, 15.5 gallon keg. I already use one for the mashtun and the other for a boil kettle. Does anyone ferment in a keg? I can see cleaning as a problem but there must be a way to clean without a steam jet.

40 Gal Berliner Weisse. Open fermentation in a stainless drum. Running out of room around here...

Nice! What's the tubing for? Sampling? I have yet to brave an open fermentation...I guess that would be a good beer to try it with.

for the most part airlocks are fine for me, if i run into an issue where it gets up too high and about to blow, i just put a few drops of fermcap-s in and all is well... the stout almost blew though, that one got super close!

And as for the fermenting in a keg, people do it quite often, just take the spear out and use an orange cap for the lid.

Cleaning, either use a pond pump and hot PBW or oxyclean or soak it in hot water with oxyclean are the 2 i can think of.

Yea that car is pretty sweet.
 
Holy crap! Someone has a 69/70 fastback!!! More pictures of the car, please! LOL!

Lol, on Monday I will post a link to some Pictures. The car is dusty from just sitting, needs fronts seats recovered ($400) and a new transmission ($1000) then she is ready to roll. But my problem is I keep putting the money in to brewing equip.
