pressure

So I have done a few hard apple ciders which came out well so I figured I'd give cranberry cider a go. Typically my apple cider is down in the 1.003 - to 1.006 range by day two of fermenting under pressure. Right now my spunding valve is showing the same amount of activity / pressure I expect...

Wasn't sure whether to add this to the equipment forum or fermentation/yeast but I guess it's primarily about my equipment so hopefully that's OK. After reading this article I've become concerned about the potential for oxygen pick up during cold crashing and wanted to get people's opinion's on...

So I keep hearing mixed statements on fermenting under pressure. I've heard it the best way to go and super easy and I've heard that it will blow up your corny keg. Heres the corny I am using: https://www.picobrew.com/store/products/Product.cshtml?id=268 My questions are with that keg and...

I bought a Danby kegerator and started using it about 6 months ago. This is my first kegerator but honestly I really don’t think the regulator has ever worked. Tonight I put my refilled co2 tank on the kegerator and for some reason the regulator spikes up to full pressure and then the regulator...

On a Youtube.com channel I was watching about myths, and one of them was doing a 60 minute boil. I like the idea of a shorter time boil, after collecting the wort from the mash tun and lautering. However, there is also the issue of getting hops into solution in your wort for bittering, and...

primary was in glass carboy for 9 Days. Transferred to secondary (glass carboy) for 10 Days. Had to use some cellophane to keep my bung/airlock in the carboy. When I went to rack it the carboy was under a lot of pressure as I must have accedently covered the bung hole (lol). Now the question...

It just occured to me that CO2 extraction is one of the methods to obtaining hop extract, and that in the keg, we've got precisely more CO2, more pressure, and an air-tight seal compared to in a carboy. But I don't have enough brewing experience to know if it makes a difference. So what fo you...

First post, here it goes... My roommate and I have finally moved away from brewing from premade "kits" and chose a belgian golden ale clone to brew ourselves - I don't remember the name, I can look it up when I get home. Anyway, so it requires 8 lbs of DME for a 5 gallon boil - more than...

I'm wondering if beer carbonates faster at higher pressures, or if the CO2 dissolves at a constant rate no matter what the head pressure? Does anyone know the science behind this? I work at a homebrew shop and we have been having a debate on this. Some of the folks here have been turning...
