tip: sanitize/purge multiple kegs at once. fill one with sanitizer, push with CO2 to next keg, repeat.

One of my favorite shipping tricks: wrap bottles in puppy pads! If you roll it "burrito-style", one 22"x22" pad covers one beer bottle quite nice. Oh, make that UNUSED puppy pads 😃🐕. Way easier than any kind of bubble wrap, and provides protection for individual bottles. Box of 50 is under $15 USD. I pad my box with crumpled newspaper, then trash bag, then puppy-pad-wrapped bottles.

Just wanted to say that I recently kegged my 2nd batch of the "Black is Beautiful" all-grain kit from MoreBeer and it came out fantastic! No more searching for stouts on store shelves during the summer months. Just DIY! As for transfer, I push the beer from my Brewbucket fermenter with about 5psi from my CO2 tank into the dip tube side of my 1st keg. The gas side is connected to the gas side on a 2nd keg filled with Starsan, which then transfers from the dip tube side into a 3rd keg with the lid removed. Of course I do this using a gas-to-gas and liquid-to-liquid Quick Disconnect "jumpers" I built.

Spunding valve on the keg during packaging is also the best way to transfer carbonated beer from pressure fermentation.

Happy Birthdays Chris/Vito!!! And many more to come!!!

This is one of my top favorite videos of y’all’s! Thank you guys! Learned a lot watching this one. Recently bought a NukaTap counter pressure bottle filler and now I feel more confident about it. You guys rock 👊

[@AnArchyzAch]

If you don't dip a cap in sanitizer before capping how do you activate the O2 scavenging caps? You'd have to flip bottles. You will never find me capping a bottle with un sanitized caps. I don't soak the caps but I dip in sanitizer right before capping. Sanitizes and activates the liner on the cap.

[@Nusbizz]

Man I really needed this video so bad a month ago lol. Thank you for sharing, this is great!

[@MoreBeer_]

Glad it was helpful! 🙌

[@LloydGM]

Oh! How could you capture your CO2 coming out of the spunding valve? I figure it must be some sort of low-pressure container to not interfere with the spunding valve. Would you guys mind showing us some of your methods?

[@scarytrek]

If you have a failed ferment is that batch just dead or can you do something to get it going that won't affect your final product? Pitch more yeast? Change fermentation environment temp? Stir yeast back into suspension?

[@scottcarr9985]

Lot of good ideas. Thanks for the tips.

[@BobPreli-nx6og]

Don’t you need to boil or Starsan bottle caps before using to avoid risk of beer contamination? Can you use them right out of the package?

[@eibbor1]

Dp you have a parts list of house and connections to push my sanitizer from my keg to a bucket

[@chrispalermo8983]

Love the Trillium shirt

[@donburcham5951]

I pressure ferment lagers at room temp. Would pressure fermentation change if I did it a lager temps? Any benefits or negatives.

[@platinumrespect]

What is the maximum amount of dry hops you would add to a 5gal NEIPA?

[@michaelmeline3956]

In some of the all in one all grain brewing systems, how do you keep from getting stuck beer?

[@RiggerBrew]

I see places labeling hops by year of harvest, some offered are multiple years old. How long will Hops last refrigerated vs frozen?

[@mikesands4508]

Great advice, but what if we don't have a fermenter that can hold pressure. How donyou do a low oxygen transfer with something like the big mouth bubbler or ferzilla?

[@joshuapinter]

Gravity. And you don’t need much pressure holding capacity. Mine is a catalyst and it holds about 1 psi which enough to do closed transfer with gravity. Good luck.

[@jjbasab]

I told my brother many times not to get his bottle caps wet.
