This looks awesome. Always want to use on of these!

Thanks, I will read up on this, as I have read star San foam contains O2, I have started using a low foaming acid rinse like saniclean for anything after fermentation.

I hear what alot of people are saying, use more hops! I will try this. I have a brew fermenting now, and dry hop is not for a week, so still have time. Hop Burst Session Ale | The Malt Miller I have a spare 100g of Vic secret in the fridge, so will use this as an addition to what the recipe...

"What does your water calculator say is the ppm of the various ions?" I'm not fully sure what my water levels are to start with, i use the standard template for RO water from brewfather.app and use its calculator. The result for this brew was:

I have been very aware of o2, so I go to extremes. The fermizilla has a collection tub on the bottom that can be used for dry hopping. So I ferment with out the tub attached and on hopping day, I added the hops to the empty tub, attached it, use a vacuum pump to remove the air, then fill with...
