I end up with a good 3/4" to 1" of yeast + schputz on the bottom of the primary when fermentation is complete so that setup would work against me. If I get about 5.25 gallons in the primary and then just stop the transfer as soon as I see air bubbles in the line I end up with just barely short of 5 gallons in the keg and all the solids are left behind. One time I thought maybe I should slightly prop up the back side of the fermenter on an angle so I could get more beer into the keg but I ended up getting some schputz too so no more of that. I'll be doing a transfer like this today (with MLPA) so I can get to the 1056 and make a Cascade Pale Ale tomorrow. Cheers.

Nice. I made one last year or the year before and I was reminded that I need to make pale ales with Cascade more often especially in this world of new hop varieties coming out every hour. I'm doing pale ale malt, some wheat, a combination of CaraRuby and CaraMunich and then bittering with Horizon (I think) and then using Cascade mixed with Stryian Goldings late. 1056 for the yeast.

It was time, I have waaaay too much brewing crap. So far 5 better bottles given away, 10 Kegs and 4-3g kegs sold and a nitro tank and regulator with an interested party. I should have got rid of some stuff long ago and the cleaning continues!
I gave away 3 fermenters and I'm trying to sell my kegs. Still trying to make the garage habitable enough to brew.

Just sold 23 cases of bottles to the homebrew store. The idea was to bottle a few from every kegged batch but that never happen. The only reason it was that few is probably due to the can revolution.

I actually don't have that much stuff I don't use. biggest items are 5L flask and stir plate since I do 007 starters now.
