I'm in!

These'ns: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007GDY3CU/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 I didn't do any exhaustive research but they actually seem pretty well built.

Couple of adjustable pressure relief valves that I'll use as spunding valves.

That's pretty elegant.

That is something I've considered doing. It's very similar to my keg prep/closed transfer kegging process (with sanitizer, not water) so I'm already setup to do it. I'm just not convinced the risk of infection is big enough to spend that much co2 to eliminate 3 gallons of wild air head space...

Actually, this is why I asked the question. I recently brewed this Wookey Jack Clone: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/firestone-walker-wookey-jack-clone-attempt-333436/index46.html#post6614436 There is a lot of conversation in the thread about how the proposed yeast (WLP-002) should not...

Probably true... However, at some point, someone's going to pipe in and suggest that we should really be doing First Wort Oxygenating... And cigars are good for you.

Only because I have this cool inline site glass o2 injector contraption that I've typically setup right after my plate chiller. Since posting though, I've given some thought to it and think I can attach the injector to the dump valve on the conical and add the o2 right before I pitch. I think...

Thanks for these. I'm going to poke you with a stick though and point out that these speak to different questions than I asked. The first topic is off topic and about infection after 24 hours. That's not my thread; that's Arclights thread. :) The second one is off topic too but I'll...

'Pretty funny you should be the one to reply Martin. The scenario I described happened while I was making a Mild recipe influenced by one of your posts on another site. Small world. I think the beer is going to be wonderful but could be more wonderful. Now I have to make it again and go...

Would appreciate it if you could name one or 2. I'd really like to read up on this topic. I understand that some gases (co2 if kept cold for example) will easily dissolve and remain dissolved for some time and others are difficult to dissolve at all (nitrogen for example). Now I'm just plain...

Interesting responses to this post. Thanks to St Pug, Single Track, Orangehero, Calder and Arclight for answering my actual question. I'm gonna go with "most of it will still be there" but am considering changing my process anyway so that I settle overnight and then in the morning, dump CB...

I asked a similar question here: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f13/affect-volume-fly-sparge-times-508229/ I thought the input was pretty good. Your mash tun diameter/grain bed depth are the main things at work. Edit: Oooops. Not sure how I missed that last post date. Sorry to wake an old...

Howdy, I've read in a bazillion places that I should stop sparging/lautering before my runnings pH reaches 5.8 or my gravity reaches 2 degrees Plato. I have this vague feeling, reading between the lines that the Plato number is really just a stand-in for pH and it was put out there because...

Quick question: If I chill and oxygenate in the evening but don't pitch yeast until the next morning, has all that lovely oxygen come out of solution and departed my fermenter? Or does wort have a great affinity for O2 and it stays in suspension (at least for 12 hours or so)? Background...

^Nah, don't worry about it. I've got it covered. :)

Oh, and I also know that I should have a clear line on my connection between racking port and keg (instead of the red). I just didn't have any clear when I put this together.

OK. Links below but first, there are 2 places where you can really go off the rails in these videos (and there is no guard rail to save you) so here's my disclaimer: 1. Never pressurize your fermenter with more than 3-4 PSI (2 is better). You can ruin it or blow it up (both are bad:drunk:)...
