has anyone seen a foam tower? i was going to ask why it would happen, but I think I know. I usually sprinkle yeast on top, this time I stirred it in with a whirlpool motion. so the yeast was probably pulled towards the center.:tank:

:tank: cool I'll check them out

I got the plain ones in a kit from AIH. maybe the CM Becker ones are better???? http://www.homebrewing.org/Gas-MFL-Ball-Lock-Disconnect_p_4965.html it might not be the connectors, but Ive rocked them and if twisted the gas leaks under hand pressure.

hey any quality ball lock home brew keg connectors I had an issue Im trying to figure out. my keezer lid comes down and may have tweaked the connectors and let out all the gas. (no beer in kegs) just pressurized at this time. and CO2 tank drained out. ANY connectors that aim...

uh that would suck. I might get a velco strap and at least add some tension to hold down the spigot latch. no doubt it could pop up. but if it broke at some point, well Im screwed.

bummer, well ship from real close, 1 day

ive got no liquid yeast experience, but started to look around. summer months are hard to send liquid yeast, the ice packs dont last. I dont know how that might effect the outcome. cant be great but I started looking local, and I have some options, maybe you do too. Get your kit online...

Plastic stand to stand on keg (cut from bottom of a similar container) second pic, stand on and cap (cut from bottom of a similar container)

Assembly. Smallest filter on bottom, then hops bags in next 2 containers pushed into the bottom container. *Last picture has the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd filters assembled. Hard to see with all the filter bags in the way.

My DIY beer filter $20, with plastic cranberry bottles and hops bags (and one 100 micron filter). $20 was the cost of the 3 filter bags. pic 1 Unassembled, pic 2 and 3 on keg with (No filters) Last pic is the 3 filters.

knock on wood, so far so good, no infections. I take it out, comes apart, soak it in starsan, put it on fermenter, add starsan to fermenter, shake periodically when in storage, 60 degree fridge.

What I mean is the collection of yeast in the fermenter, in the two weeks its fermenting and clearing. But Ive decided to clear it in a small cup, then I have a filter DIY that I'll strain wort into kegs with.

I like the convenience to gravity drain into a keg. it may fail in time, I'll have to look at some kind of quick strap or clamp to hold the clamp part secure.

mine are the coopers fermenters, very easy to clean (when theyre empty) it'll work out, Ive added hops bags tot he workflow, and will maybe set up a quick gravity strain w/ a 200 micron filter. maybe roll the screen in one of my plastic cooper pet bottles.

thanks yes I do cold crash, so that's helpful, and they should be done at the same time so I think that will work out. Instead of the directions that say: 'drop in the hops', I hop bagged the hops and the additive ingredients, and that help keep out a lot of particle matter from getting in the...
