Fixed my leak with those stainless pipe hose clamps. Its an awesome rig so far! 15 gallons of dead guy fermenting away.
Permits, is that a Yamaha kicker motor I see! Nice! You live in Michigan and want a brewing/fishing buddy by chance? Lol.

Hey guys, what's your tipical fermentation schedule? Am I ok if I cold crash right after FG has been reached and then transfer to keg for carbonation?
What kind of valves do you have for dumping yeast? I use butterfly valves and I haven't had an infection in the two years I have been using plastic Conicals. I also do a 180 degree water rinse and then star san soak before I fill.
next batch I will ditch the yeast trap to eliminate a variable...so long as the batch I am fermenting continues down the non infected path.
Update, I removed the yeast catcher and harversted some Ringwood 1187 today for future use. So far so good.
@ artifishal - could you show another view of the catcher from the top down so that I can see how you connected the TC to the lid. Did you just silver solder them together? Thanks
You would be fine filling it up and leaving it with a star san solution for two weeks though. I would suggest cleaning it all out and letting the stars and solution sit.
Can anyone else confirm this idea?
Will fill her with star san solution tonight

Yeah, that's why the sight jar is key, imo. View attachment 279002
is that what 15 gallons looks like in those conicals?
Yes sir. I do about 15.5 gallons per batch and there is just enough headspace to avoid having blowoff, I do have a tube in place though.
Damn that looks cool. Might try to do this with my fast ferment Conicals
