I broke down and got the blichmann 14.5 gal fermentor, so naturally I have a few questions before I get going.
1. At what point of fermentation are people doing their first dump? I know oxidation is a concern here so I'm guessing when fermentation is about 80% complete?
2. If I've got 10 gal in the fermentor, is there a volume of yeast/trub/beer you expect to dump on the first go round? Or what are the signs of a complete dumping?
3. Are people doing many subsequent dumps? And if so, how does the volume compare to the first?
4. Anything else I should know?
