Sometimes I leave my beer in the fermenter for 6 weeks if I am away at work, even in primary, I brew a lot and not noticed any problems tasting two identical brews side by side, the only difference is one has been in the FV for 3 weeks and one for 6, the one for 6 weeks is usually clearer, if...

So beer doesn't clear in a Corny when it's in the fridge? Mine do...

And what do you base your 150 brew estimate on ?

Great advice.

if I was you and your garage is 20 degrees, I would leave them in there for two weeks and then two weeks in the fridge, that way you taste one every second or third day, from when you put them in, for scientific purposes off course, to see if they do develop or change, they will clear faster in...

As long as you rack it without splashing, that means your syphon tube was under beer for most of the transfer, all should be fine, I have transfer at least 30 brews to secondary before cold crashing and again to a bottling bucket on bottling day and all have turned well. Nowadays I just cold...

I leave mine for 2 weeks at around 21 degrees and then try and leave them for that long in the fridge too...

Thanks guys...¨

I stand corrected, thank you for the clarification.

I am not 100% sure here, but I think you guys guys are getting it wrong here, sorry to split hairs but carbonating is the process of priming sugar or whatever your priming charge is creating the CO2 in your beer and conditioning is what goes on after that, waiting for it to mature/mellow out...

Gonna be spending 3 nights in Vienna with the family, can anyone recommend some cool brewshops or brew pubs to visit ? Or anything else beer related that might be interesting...we will staying in an Area called Leopoldstad, close to the Ernst Happel Stadium if that's any help...

when you guys say conditioning, do you not mean carbonating ? ie: the yeast chomping on the priming charge ? Is conditioning not the process of aging the beer a bit, usually at a lower temp. I brew a lot from Greg Hughes recipes and he specifies a a conditioning time and temp for everything...

and yes the little red cap is meant to be on, keeps dust and bugs out...

Bleach in an airlock, no thanks, have you ever googled what bleach does to people if it gets into them...if you move your FV for egs, the fluid will get sucked into the beer, doesn't take much...why not just use Starsan or like me, Vodka!

Pair of what ? Cant see the picture....

I have a Grainfather and all I can say is it is so worth it, I max mine out and frequently (50 batches in 9 months) produce 30liters of wort in the fv at somewhere between 1,050 and 1,060. Around 80% Brew House efeciency, it just works great, no messing around with bags or hop spiders etc. some...

I am in the testing phase for building a bottle washer out of these and 1HP irrigation pump like this, I have connected it all up and once the pump was primed it was works really well, I drilled out the holes in the nozzles to a bigger size as the pump needs a fair bit of flow to get up to...
