Luckily Mark is very handy with tools unlike myself. I am an idiot when it comes to anything that has to do with working with your hands, Surprising I know. Went to marks with tommy today and did this. Went to only drill holes but mark wanted to finish it all! Thanks again buddy!!!

Edit: the brew equip is looking great above guys!


Alright, my Mosun ipa is kegged. Made a dumb a$$ mistake during transfer that worked itself out, but the process would have been super smooth otherwise.

I attempted a closed transfer from my cold crashed fermenter, directly onto 2/3 cup of hot gelatin in the keg which had been co2 blanketed, and relief valve open...

Instead I co2 blanketed it, forgot to open the relief valve and connected the liquid side post that was connected to my open-valved fermenter. I knocked 5oz of hop debris back into suspension and clogged the valve. So I used co2 to blow back through the keg liquid side slowly to release the clog. After three attempts, and pressurizing the fermenter, it transferred.

So still the beer never was exposed to oxygen, I got to see how pressurizing the fermenter would go, and using and cleaning the "almost conical" was simple.

I'll be sampling on Thursday evening and see if we're gonna run this through the rocket. Samples today were a huge bouquet of citrus hop variety.
