Yup!:fro:

I'm in!

These'ns: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007GDY3CU/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 I didn't do any exhaustive research but they actually seem pretty well built.

Couple of adjustable pressure relief valves that I'll use as spunding valves.

That's pretty elegant.

That is something I've considered doing. It's very similar to my keg prep/closed transfer kegging process (with sanitizer, not water) so I'm already setup to do it. I'm just not convinced the risk of infection is big enough to spend that much co2 to eliminate 3 gallons of wild air head space...

Actually, this is why I asked the question. I recently brewed this Wookey Jack Clone: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/firestone-walker-wookey-jack-clone-attempt-333436/index46.html#post6614436 There is a lot of conversation in the thread about how the proposed yeast (WLP-002) should not...

Probably true... However, at some point, someone's going to pipe in and suggest that we should really be doing First Wort Oxygenating... And cigars are good for you.

Only because I have this cool inline site glass o2 injector contraption that I've typically setup right after my plate chiller. Since posting though, I've given some thought to it and think I can attach the injector to the dump valve on the conical and add the o2 right before I pitch. I think...

Thanks for these. I'm going to poke you with a stick though and point out that these speak to different questions than I asked. The first topic is off topic and about infection after 24 hours. That's not my thread; that's Arclights thread. :) The second one is off topic too but I'll...

'Pretty funny you should be the one to reply Martin. The scenario I described happened while I was making a Mild recipe influenced by one of your posts on another site. Small world. I think the beer is going to be wonderful but could be more wonderful. Now I have to make it again and go...

Would appreciate it if you could name one or 2. I'd really like to read up on this topic. I understand that some gases (co2 if kept cold for example) will easily dissolve and remain dissolved for some time and others are difficult to dissolve at all (nitrogen for example). Now I'm just plain...

Interesting responses to this post. Thanks to St Pug, Single Track, Orangehero, Calder and Arclight for answering my actual question. I'm gonna go with "most of it will still be there" but am considering changing my process anyway so that I settle overnight and then in the morning, dump CB...

I asked a similar question here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f13/affect-volume-fly-sparge-times-508229/ I thought the input was pretty good. Your mash tun diameter/grain bed depth are the main things at work. Edit: Oooops. Not sure how I missed that last post date. Sorry to wake an old...
