Nice build! I’ll be going down this road soon...same size. Got a pic of the inside?

I think if you expect a good amount of souring with this yeast, you'll be disappointed. It's a great yeast for pale ales and IPA's imo. It adds a ton of tropical fruit…but different to an IPA hop bomb. I get lots of passionfruit and some pineapple. I get very little souring and no...

Liberty bell sounds interesting

Here's the top of the carb cap:

Not sure if I've seen this done before. I've kept the integrity of the cooler intact too. The lid has been all sealed up again. I little bit more of a cost involved due to the the 2 stainless carbonation caps and an extra set of ball locks, but it's a nice and clean option. 3 gal keg fits...

I've found notty to be a great clean yeast for PA's and IPA's. Not a huge fan of the little bit of peach. Plus I had a bad experience with a bad batch of us-05 once

z-bob. what kind of FG did you get with the s-04? I've never had much success with it.

I can control the foam issue unbalanced system with the FC just by opening the tap with the FC CLOSED. Then slowly open the FC. This seems to force a bit of pressure into the line and reduces the foam thats formed by the time its dispensed. Once it starts pouring clear (2-4 secs) then I open...

A little. Definitely feels more solid though.

Or you could just buy a peltier mini fridge and convert it. This is my old fridge. It could only get down to about 5-7 degrees celsius during summer months though. Thats the only limitation…ambient temps. I've replaced it with a traditional unit and use it as a fermentation chamber now. Its...

I guess it really comes down to how much you value your time and if you have the ability to actually do it. Screams 'too hard' basket myself.

I completely ditched the black foam that came with the tower. I just happen to have some left over roofing insulation that I could cut to size. I remember you saying you were doing a 2 tap setup? You might have a little less space to fill. But I'm pretty sure the more insulation the better...

great job!
