Yeast pitched... Not a bad day at all

[Gusso]

So, you did the porter?

[Gusso]

A pint of my Baltic Porter that I brewed about 3 weeks ago.


No lager phase?

Yep! 1.065 OG... Smells delicious.

I figure I'll dump trub tomorrow or the next day and then harvest the yeast once it's all finished out.

Then I have some oak cubes soaking in bourbon which are supposed to go into "secondary". I think maybe I'll just keg it and put the bourbon/cubes in the keg and let it age a couple weeks while it carbonates so I can free up the fermenter for the scotch ale.

Did you use the SPUNDit for a pressurized fermentation? Curious, as I'm going to use mine for the first time in a day or two.

[Stains_not_here_man]

Yes I did. (Still going actually). Pretty cool.

So, how did it turn out? I'm gonna try my first pressurized fermentation tomorrow in a 5 gallon corny.

[Gusso]

15psi.

15psi.

What color bar are you near on the spring indicator by the dial?

[Gusso]

Yellow. About middle of the yellow band.

Thanks. Still trying to get a handle on using mine.

First time using mine. First time doing a pressurized fermentation. Seems to have gone flawlessly. I would be gold but I realized my Tilt is in the keg! I guess I'll have to use the SPUNDit on a receiving keg to fetch it. Otherwise, I'd just serve from that keg.

Decided to do another batch today because work is annoying the crap out of me, so I snuck into the garage and am firing up the kettle for a scotch ale.

Turned out good. Maybe finished a little high

[Stains_not_here_man]

She's in the fermzilla. 1.080 og

[Gusso]

Wee Heavy?

[Gusso]

How high have you been pressurizing your Fermzilla? Getting fully carbonated? Transferring to keg or serving from vessel?

[Gusso]

On my first pressurized fermentation from a keg, I just served from the fermentation keg. On the 10 G Torpedo I have going now, I'll try my first transfer under pressure.

I've only done the one batch so far, kept it at about 10 PSI the whole time. Will do the same this time I think. I did not transfer under pressure, just to a purged keg. Will probably try that on this one though.

[Gusso]

I just served right from the 5G corny on my first pressurized fermentation -psi was 15 (fully carbonated). I will transfer the one I'm doing now in the 10G Torpedo. Looks to be finished at 1.018. OG was 1.088.

[Stains_not_here_man]

Nice. I'm at 1.020 today
