I have a 23 gallon SS conical from Stout Tanks. Only 1 port up top. I run the TC elbow to ball valve I was talking about and have blowoff hose there during fermentation. Once fermentation is done I remove the blowoff hose and hit the tank with about 2 PSI pressure intermittently while cold...
What about getting a TC elbow and a ball valve on one of the top ports then you can get a TC fitting for your CO2 line and just connect your tank to gas 5 psi for cold crash and also have an easy way to transfer under pressure. The TC fitting on the CO2 line will be helpful to rouse dry hops...
What style of beer? Brulosophy had done blind experiments with beers with and without suck-back and found no qualitative difference. Gelatin works well… 1 tsp per 5 gallons mixed in 1/2 cup 160F filtered water. Just make sure you mix the fermenter well. I just added some yesterday to a beer in...
I may add some gelatin fining prior to dry hop just to attempt to better drop out the polyphenols. Then dry hop cooler 58F once tank is cleared of yeast. Cooler dry hop to not pull more polyphenols. Thanks! Feeling better about this.
Could be. The beer is 2 weeks old. What worries me is the sample I cold crashed but the liquid still tasted harsh bitter almost like crushed aspirin finish. I think you’re probably right though and hopefully a few weeks time cold will resolve the issue.
Unfortunately no. Fresh bag and haven’t brewed an IPA in some months now. I’m hoping a month of cold conditioning in conical, kegs will resolve the issue. Thoughts?
Samples off the tank, even after cold conditioned for sediment to drop out, are a bit harsh and astringent. Can’t figure out where this coming from.
