This has been my experience with this yeast so far (using it twice). I don't recall this ever happening with any other yeast.

2023 Galaxy I assume? How did it turn out?

I have a CF15 and transferred ~17 Gallons on the last batch. I feel I need to push that amount because of the losses from the heavy dry hopping rates (last batch was 3 pounds).

Is the concern that a micro scratch could cause an infection or ...?

Why should I be leery? Because it scratches the metal?

How are we cleaning the lid? I can clean everything with pretty much just a sponge but the lid takes a a green scrubby to get off the caked on mess. How are you guys going it?

Thoughts on what the ideal WP temp range and duration range are?

Anyone know what's the minimum wattage I'd need if my garage stays above freezing?

Anyone using their cooling coil setup to keep the fermenter temp warm in cooler months? E.g. An immersion water heater in a small cooler.

What hops (for NEIPAs) are you guys getting from the Yakima Valley flash sale?

I'm struggling to get my DIY glycol chiller colder than 38F. The solution around the radiator/fins ice up when I get approach that temp. I'm using 20% glycol which I believe means that the freezing temp should be around 20F. Interesting, I was getting around the same temps (in the chiller)...

This is exactly what I'm doing. I wouldn't pressure ferment if your going to dry hop else a potential hop volcano.
