I have two 15G fermenters that I assembled with silicone gaskets on the lid. They are not completely airtight but do hold some pressure- when I pressurize the conical with an air compressor to check the seal I get a visible expansion of the vessel, but I get no bubbles in...

I ferment in 15G poly conicals with tri-clover sight glass- the glass is pretty thick and there isn't any excess pressure in the conical as it is not that tight to begin with, and I have the conical vented through the thermowell going through the lid.

came across this when searching for cover crop info for a hop bed It doesn't go into great detail about cover crops but I think it's a an interesting overview of organic hop growing https://www.agronomy.org/publications/aj/articles/103/6/1645

count me in for the next one-please and thanx

me too

you are a genius... works perfectly! I simply turned my overcharged keg upside down and opened the tap for a minute or so... blew out a lot of foam and then just gas. turned the keg upright ... tossed one foamy pour and now pours perfect.

oh boy... no way i can get there tonight. I have 2 bags and live just west of philly. Is there anyone my way who can grab a couple bags for me? nevermind... I'm making a run for it

If you are using a refractometer for FG the final number needs to be recalculated to get the true FG. I used this calculator http://onebeer.net/refractometer.shtml given an OG reading of 1.056 (13.6 Brix) and a final reading of 1.027(6.7Brix) the true FG is 1.0087 and ABV is 6.12% hope...

thanks.. I sometimes want to brew on the spur of the moment and dry yeast makes that more possible. If T-58 works well enough for high gravity belgian ales I could keep some on hand for a spontaneous brew day. My LHBS has the CSI D-45 and D-90 on the shelf, but has to order the D180 for me. I...

subscibed to this one... I was wondering what to do with T-58

I use fine steel wool clean up copper pipes that have discolored from heat. you might want to 'pickle' the brass union.

I like where you are going with this- it could get you to a fixed volume and should conserve the O2 resources by containing it in the fermenter. My fermenters aren't sealed like a keg, but I tested them with compressed air and they sealed well enough to hold a few pounds of positive...

props to you- thanks for the help

that's interesting... how do you know when it has reached equilibrium?

I was thinking of that too... but gas is funny stuff to quantify. I think the pressure of the ballon walls may compress the gas a bit so your reading wouldn't be an accurate representation of the amount of O2 at atmospheric pressure, but if there was an error it would be on the side of...
