I've cut my dip tube shorter and it helped a lot. That said, I do still tip it a bit in the stand as the level gets down near the bottom. Nice part of the round bottom is it rotates in the stand.
I cut the hose so that the float just touches the bottom. I also use a filter on the pickup. For a weight I use a glass cupboard door pull. They are predrilled and easy to clean. They come in different sizes and weights. I use a piece of stainless wire to attach it to the filter. It keeps the filter in the wort under the float. Filter stays clean. I also marked my all rounder for level. When level the stand ring is at the 2l mark.
I cut my the as well. Made it the length to the bottom. But yes it still does sometimes float the filter. Might try your marble trick and see how it does.
That is exactly how I pressure transfer. Even if the beer was not pressure fermented, I transfer this way to stay oxygen free. I have also cut all my dip tube hoses shorter. To the point that the filter just reaches the bottom of the fermenter. Most times I can easily get the last dregs without tipping the all rounder.
Love your videos Brad. Yes cut it, and if you turn your All Rounder Base the other way up to can tilt the fermenter within the stand, saving you trying to balance it.
The pickup needs to be cut, it will coil up and do what you just had. I was using a rising ball shut-off on the gas side to transfer, not keeping it under pressure. Too much foaming, but I knew there was an extra 6 liters, and didn't want to blow it though a spunding valve. I am going to try filling 1 keg, then spill to another keg for the excess, and keep it pressurized. Great channel bwt
I have the 30lt ferm, i cut the hose just above the yeast collector butterfly valve, havent had an issue.. only new to this but have made 3 beers in it sofar
Cut off about 10inch of the standard line which worked a bit a better on the second brew. Tap the side of the fermenter which works when it get stuck on the side. I agree you need a weight. ill try the marble in the filter
Our Skulls Light recipe, which is in many of the videos, hits all those notes. I'm filming our Canadian Ale vs. Lager full brew day video today for ya, though, so stay tuned!
@@Slim216 lol good catch. @john we also brew beer commercially and that can of beer is something we sell. If you want to can your homebrew there are some options out there like the Kegland Cannular system.
I bought a few Mangrove jacks cider kits for the wife and her friends and all but 1 have met the drain! I don't have 6 months to age crap😂😂😂 the culprit MJs M02 cider yeast! It's basically a Sulphur factory!
Spunding 2.0 doesn't work that great. It's very fussy, and hard to dial in by simply turning the knob. There something about the design that doesn't work well. When something as simple in parts as that doesn't work, you know it's a bad design. Gauges have to be bombproof. Now you have to buy them in pairs, to compare them to each other...?
I didn't even know that. I was raised by old farmers and got into construction early on, feet, inches, lbs. Just stuck with me, I guess. I certainly don't disagree with you, though.
@@graintoglass I’ve just ordered the diaphragm from kegland, because I’ve broken two of the little kegking ones and only had trouble with them. Set them and ether come back to to much pressure or nothing at all. Hopefully the kegland ones are better

Made the dip tube shorter too, let it hang just reaching above the pulp. Helped a lot..
Cheers!

Thanks very much!
That keg has seen some years! Excellent vid. Weve all been there
Thanks!
I discovered your channel not too long ago. Best fucking beer chanel in Canada guys!!
Thank you! Cheers!

You have to cut the length of the pickup...they use the same kit for the pickup in the larger fermenter set they sell (bigger all-rounder).
Good tip, cheers!

Good tips! Cheers
Will the marble just block the tube?
Purchase a Flotit 2.0 floating dip tube.
I haven't heard of this. I'll check it out. Thanks!
I want you guys to make video on light abv lager ( American / Canadian ) style . Since spring an summer on the way :)
Our Skulls Light recipe, which is in many of the videos, hits all those notes. I'm filming our Canadian Ale vs. Lager full brew day video today for ya, though, so stay tuned!
This was a great video! Someone awesome must have suggested it!😂😂
I think so too!
I put a big heavy stainless steel nut ontop the filter screen so it sinks below
Good idea, cheers!
If I get rotten eggs during fermentation I take it as a good sign. I know I'll end up with a great lager. in the end.
During fermentation is fine, after fermentation, not so much.
How did you get the beer into the aluminium cans?
Hi, do you mean the stainless steel keg? We used CO2 to push the beer out of the fermenter and into the keg. Cheers
Think he is talking about the can of beer you were drinking…lol
@@Slim216 lol good catch. @john we also brew beer commercially and that can of beer is something we sell. If you want to can your homebrew there are some options out there like the Kegland Cannular system.
Did you cold crashing before transfer?
Not at all. Another benefit of pressure fermenting is it helps with clarity. Transferred beer was very clear right off the hop.
Thanks for the vid! Cheers
Cheers!
What’s the beer called? Is the recipe available? Would defs try this as my first under pressure beer
This is our Skulls Light recipe. I subbed the usual W34/70 with Wyeast 2007 for this iteration. Pretty much any Lager yeast will work well.

So what's up next on funk around and find out!?!
If cut my tube 1" above the bottom of my all rounder 30l and it works great. Cheers 😀 👍 🍻
Good tip!

Interesting, that's not the experience I've had with them. I also wonder if pressure fermenting would help with that.
@graintoglass I'm pretty sure it would! It hasn't been every kit but most so far.

What's this 41lbs crap? 😂 As a Canadian you should know: 1 litre of beer equals 1kg. Easy peasy. That's why metric rules
I didn't even know that. I was raised by old farmers and got into construction early on, feet, inches, lbs. Just stuck with me, I guess. I certainly don't disagree with you, though.
We use freedom units. Its a small price to pay for living here
@@chevysaregr8 it's a paradox using royal units from the kingdom which used to be a tyrrany to you 😁
OMG
Why so complicated? Just equalize the pressure with a gas line and let gravity do the work. No extra gas needed.
Those sounding valves are crap..
I've had pretty good luck with them so far. Especially the more expensive red ones. Cheers

I agree, utter rubbish
Blowtie’s are awesome
