Hello everyone, I've been fermenting in 5 gal kegs for a while always going for max 4.5 gal to leave some head space.
At the moment my setup consists of a simple ballock with silicon tubing on it that goes into a jar with sanitizer. I'm used to ferment with s04 and so far never had any clogging issues.
I want to start brewing with wyeast 1318 London Ale III and also try fermenting full 5 gallon batches but i'm afraid I might run into clogging problems
I have a few questions
1. Will 1318 create more krausen then s04?
2. If I ferment under pressure (+/- 10 - 20 psi) will the pressure keep the krausen down? preventing the pressure valve from clogging?
3. Does anyone have experience with making a proper blow off on a corny keg that won't clog? (ideally I would like to collect the yeast from top cropping this way)
Thanks alot!
