I'm going to give the keg scale another try, looking for two if anyone wants to sell. looking for firmware 2.0.11b but will consider 2.0.7

Best one is the Milk Stout. was supposed to be peanut butter and chocolate flavors, but the PBFit aroma and taste went away two weeks after kegging, was left with a Mocha flavor which is outstanding. It wasn't too sweet and not too dry, it was perfect.

6192 + 5 Pale Ale 5 Northern Brown Ale 5 Munich Dunkel 10 International (Mex) Lager 5 Belgian Dark Strong Ale 5 Milk Stout 5 IPA = 6232

Is it still available?

Just a brief update, I left it in the fermenter for a month at room temp (72f), just got back and kegged it today. The S-type airlock did not dry out. It finished at 1.020 (10.6%), sweeter than expected, but balanced by the bitterness (34ibu). It tastes great although not carb'd yet. I think...

I have one that I used but can't justify buying 2 more so willing to sell

Stuck fermentation, confirmed with a Hydrometer as well at 1.030. Dumped trub and harvested yeast last night. Got a starter on the stir plate, hope to get it going again.

I appreciate all the replies and suggestions. I will wait until the day before departure to see where it is at. Since I am targeting 1.014, if it is 1.017 or less I will dump the trub and leave in the conical at room temp 71f~72f for a month and then rack to a keg upon return. If it is above...

Looking to hit 1.014

I'm about a week away from traveling for a full 30 days. I don't think fermentation will be complete when I leave so looking for recommendations on how to handle. here are some details: All grain Mashed at 149f~151f D180 and rock candy at flame out OG 1.094 Currently 1.031 On 9/20 I pitched...

We shall see, down to 56 today. On the way to 36 using 1 degree per day. Ambient temp in the garage is approx 47. I'm heating using a 5 gallon pail with 78 degree water and a fish tank heater. When I get down to 47, I'll switch to cooling using a 5 gallon corny keg in my keezer at 36. In...

Hit an FG of 1.011 right on target yesterday. Dumped the trub, took 15 minutes, it was quite constipated. Lowering the temp 1 degree a day for the next 30 days.

Beersmith said it would be at 1.020 at day 14. I was at 1.020 at day 13.5. Sample tasted great. I warmed it up to test for diacetyl, no butterscotch flavor but doing the rest for 3 days. Beersmith says I should be at 1.011 in 3 days. I'll start stepping it down when I hit my FG. I hooked...

Started this in a new thread dedicated to the review of the: SS Chronical 7 Gallon Conical with FTSS Temperature Control. Brewed my first lager, an Oktoberfest, on 2/7. SG 1.050. Oxygenated the wort for 60 seconds. Had a Wyeast 2633 starter on the stirplate for 21 hours prior @ 67...

Following this thread, I have the same chronical. Brewed my first lager, an Oktoberfest, on 2/7. Had a Wyeast 2633 starter on the stirplate for 21 hours. oxygenated for 60 seconds. Pitched at 65 degrees (both starter and wort). The FTSS took the temp down to 50 in less than an hour after...
