I am in too. Thanks

Thanks

Do this type of yeast require more headspace in the fermenter?

Bubbling away! Yahoo!

OK. Thanks for the replies. Cold crash completed. Least of my issues now. Brew Commander was no go. Fixed a loose wire. Grain Mill was not cooperating. All good for now. Thanks again.

I neglected to put my 3L starter in the fridge on friday. It was on the stir plate for 24 hrs. Now it's Monday and I get home and see it still spinning away. Room temp is about 65F. In the fridge now crashing. Does anyone think there would have been any significant loss sitting out that...

I do that with my CF15. Never had a problem.

Yup I would imagine it could get ugly with wort so close to the top.

Great. Exactly what I want to do. Thanks

What is the maximum volume of wort anyone has used in a CF15? Can I get 16 gallons in without any issues? I am guessing head space might be a problem. Thanks

Thanks again for the good info. This gives me a better understanding of the process.

Thanks for the input. What would the be average number of times to rack? Mine is in its third vessel. How long in each?

From what I have read so far it is beneficial to transfer a number of times for clarity. I did my first mead in April using a fermenter. I transferred to a keg about three weeks ago. I just did a pressure transfer into another keg. I was surprised when it looked fairly clear and no sediment...

just like big tanks. Buy a sodastream filled. Exchange empty for full. $14.00 last time
