My primary fermenter, which has gallons marked reliably, said 5 gallons on the mark. What you stated about trub loss, head space, and usually getting 4 gallons sounds like a correct explanation.
Thanks for the tip! This was my first brew in about 8 years, I knew I was going to make some goofs along the way. In this case I should have put gallon marks on my secondary (secondary only for dry hopping) and on my bottling bucket. It would have been obvious to myself that 3/4 cup was going to...
Good day!
It looks like I made a slight "rookie" mistake. I was in a rush late last night and realized that I primed 3.9 gallons (42 12oz bottles) that I primed with 3/4 cups corn sugar (like a 5 gallon batch). Should I be expecting some bottle grenades? What are my options for saving this...
I sold the carboys, mash cooler, and 1 patio burner!
This is what I have left:
patio burner w/wind guard = $50
empty bottles (at least 4 cases 12oz and 2 cases 22oz)= $20
counter flow wortchiller = $50
table top bottler w/bottle tree and bottle washer attachment and bottling bucket = $50...
I sold the kettles this weekend. I still have the CFC, mash tun, bottler and bottle tree. I still have the burners with wind guards and if anybody buys both I will throw in a (empty) propane tank. Still pick-up only.
I sold off the pump and hoses this weekend. Everything is still up for sale, PM me to set up a time to purchase. Pick up only for now. If you PM'd me before and didn't get a response, I apologize for I have been busy.
