    Homebrewing in the heat

    ========================= I would like to ask the forum if anyone is using amber glass carboys as their fermentor. I've been looking for one. But truthfully, do I really need one? I'm wondering why, when so many people talk about ultraviolet light and how it negatively affects beer not...

    Carb Tabs didn't work - What to do?

    Not to toot my own flute, but you can carbonate it all in 12oz PET bottles in about 15-seconds with a FiZZ GiZ (www.FizzGiz.com). You can precisely carbonate them to 1.4g per bottle or more or less as desired.

    Traub/Yeast slurry

    =========================== The BrewDemon conical system allows traub to collect in the bottom of the cone far enough from the spigot to prevent the traub from being siphoned into the mix when racking. Dunno if someone's already mentioned that here. It's a different kind of a concept for the...

    Growler carbonation preservation idea

    FiZZ GiZ (http://www.FizzGiz.com) is making and marketing a growler preservation kit (aptly named Phssssh!) in a retail chain known as The Growler Guys. FiZZ GiZ, based in North Carolina, is selling these kits in the growler capital of the US: Bend, Oregon. Here's a YouTube vid showing how it...

    Fizz Giz soda carbonator

    I'm kind of stoked about the Beer Plugs®. If anyone still bottle primes or dabbles in pressurized fermentation, I think my little valves have something to contribute.

    Closed-system pressurized fermentation technique!

    Using Beer Plugs® (15PSI gauge or 30PSI absolute) on 3-liter SODA bottles work great for pressure fermentation. They are special caps that vent pressure above a threshold with high quality, inexpensive one-way valves. Soda bottles (which will hold over 100PSI) make great pressure vessels. The...

    How do you "cap on foam"?

    Just a quick note to those bottling in PET bottles: You can accomplish the same thing by squeezing the sides of the bottle, making the liquid rise to form a meniscus above the rim and cap on liquid. The head space will form in a few minutes and gas will cease to exit the liquid when equilibrium...

    Maximum Volumes of CO2 in 12oz bottles

    What you're talkin' about is 45PSI gauge. So pump it up 'n C. I can do it. But 1 bottle passing a test here in my neck of the woods does not imply you can safely pump up 100 bottles in your longneck of the woods, where ever that may be. The probability of the bottles you get being manufactured...

    Fizz Giz

    Actually, the FiZZ GiZ hand-held black banana-shaped dispenser's built-in pressure regulator (shown here: ) provides a fully adjustable downstream pressure output range of 15-150 PSI. Here's how it's adjusted:

    Kyle - there are some highly carbonated seltzers (up to 12 volumes of co2) sold in glass bottles of sufficient strength for carbonation use. Of course, champagnes are packaged in very strong bottles designed to "work well under pressure". I'm working on a champagne stopper that incorporates a...
