    Racking from Sanke Fermenter

    How exactly do you hook up your coupler to the carboy cap? I am attempting this for the first time and my only idea is to slip the hose over the thin nipple and clamp it, it is proving very difficult.:confused:

    Is yeast washing really helping???

    I have timed my brews to pitch on yeast cake a couple of times now, with great results. I would like to save the yeast for the first time in jars for a later date.

Normally I would transfer to bottling bucket, add corn sugar, bottle, condition @ 68 deg. and wait at least 8 to 10 weeks before I tried it. I am trying to move into kegging, My plan...

    thanks for the info, I'm just now upgrading from buckets to corny kegs and figured a couple 1\2 barrels would be a great way to condition keeping my soda kegs free. appreciate all the help.

    filling a 15 gallon sanke

    I was wondering if it is possible to transfer from my ball lock corny straight to the 15 gallon sanke. Keeping the ball lock conversions for the sanke coupler in mind, Is it possible to fill the sanke from my corny keg without exposing the beer to air? Everything I've seen on-line uses a...

    Thanks for the input, I'm gonna leave them bottles nice and cozy with the dust mites for the next handful of months. Amazing, that you could spend several hundred dollars to be certified by cicerone with improper information, When all the while, all the real life experiences are right here for...

    bottle ageing

    According to Cicerone.org bottled beer if refrigerated will last up to six months, Unrefrigerated only three months and then off flavors can start to occur. I'm bottle conditioning imperial stout with an ABV of 8.5% in my closet which varies from 60-64 degrees. I plan on leaving it in there for...
