    Quoin Industrial Inc, maker of the Party Pig

    I asked this in another thread but didn't get any replies. I'm about to use my party pig for the first time today with a pressure pouch. But when I no longer have pouches (and Quoin is out now), I wonder if the pig will still work fine as long as you don't store it for too long after you let air...

    Using a Party Pig without the pressure pouches

    I received a Party Pig a few months ago as a gift and haven't used it yet. But I now see Quoin, who makes the pig, has stopped making them and is just selling out inventory. The only part you need to keep replacing is the pressure pouch, which maintains the pressure in the pig. But can you...

    Enough yeast for bottling?

    You should always have enough yeast in suspension to bottle. Even if it's gone dormant, it will wake up with all the activity of bottling and adding priming sugar. Searching around on this forum, you'll see the general concensus is pretty forceful that adding more yeast before bottling could...

    How do you know how much yeast you have

    Thanks, Kai. On the contrary, having a third calculator is great. As long as one of them comes close to telling me I have enough yeast, I'll sleep fine. I don't have any crazy need to verify the results of each calculator. (Ok, that's a lie. I can't really turn off the engineer in me, so I...

    How do you know how much yeast you have

    With the great posts on this site I harvested yeast for the first time on 1/23 and plan to use that yeast for a cream ale (OG 1.040) on Friday. There was a nice 1/4" of yeast in the mason jar that's been in the fridge since I harvested. I made my first starter today using around 650ml of...

    Brewing Help

    How long was your batch in the fermenter before you bottled? Many factors affect the rate of fermentation, so the only way to be sure fermentation is over is to take hydrometer readings and confirm the gravity of the beer is stable. That said, there's no harm in letting your beer sit in the...

    Hydrometer readings

    Thanks for following up and letting us all know how it came out. There's no shame (well, maybe just a little) in taking a bad measurement. It's awesome that you posted, though, so the rest of us who are pretty green can learn from your experience.
