You'll get significant suck back through the airlock when the temp drops. I just bought a Mylar balloon from dollarama and attached a piece of tubing to it. When I go to cold crash I fill the balloon with CO2 and swap out my airlock for the balloon.

Re: Garrsion Brew Off 2020?
Huh. I never knew that happened. I've never noticed any suck back before when I cold crashed other beers before and there was still the sanitizer in the airlock - I guess it just sucked the air from the fridge through the airlock? I guess I didn't really think it could work in reverse (or why it would?). Very interesting. Thanks for the intel.wcturnedec wrote:You'll get significant suck back through the airlock when the temp drops. I just bought a Mylar balloon from dollarama and attached a piece of tubing to it.

Re: Garrsion Brew Off 2020?
More Q's
Is there any easy way to tell if a baloon is Mylar? Are those the shiny/silvery ones
Would a sodastream work for the CO2 for filling it? I don't have a keg or compressor
Is there any worry about the smell of the balloon getting in there or will sanitizing take care of that?
Thanks again for the help.

Re: Garrsion Brew Off 2020?
My setup - 30L sanke using a TC x Ball Lock post with a spunding valve as an airlock. Have been using tc sample valves for transferring out but I recently acquired an old butterfly valve which lets me swap between a sample valve and a 1/4" barb x TC fitting I have hooked up to a liquid disconnect for pressurized transfers.
Only ran a couple of clean beers through them and so far pretty happy with the ease of use. Next step is probably a 4" TC opening to replace the standard opening to make cleaning and getting dry hop bags out easier.

Re: Garrsion Brew Off 2020?
is the cold crash to help reduce hop particles in the beer / "hop burn". A NEIPA doesn't need the clarity of a cold crash

Re: Garrsion Brew Off 2020?
I think that's the primary use, especially if you're dryhopping with loose pellets. I didn't cold crash mine but it seems like with the amount I dryhopped and having them in bags it seems to have avoided any hop burn. Just crossing my fingers it holds up okay in the keg, my limited experience with brewing IPAs has mostly ended in beers that taste good for 2 or 3 weeks then take a hard nosedive.

Re: Garrsion Brew Off 2020?
Yeah I had an obscene (read: unnecessary) amount of dry hop with loose pellets... cold crash made it all sink to the bottom. Still plenty hazy too, thanks to the yeast. Best smelling beer I've made so far, hands down.ConanTroutman wrote:I think that's the primary use, especially if you're dryhopping with loose pellets.

Re: Garrsion Brew Off 2020?
As Jeff mentioned, I'm only cold crashing to drop out the large hop particulate. Makes the transfer to keg a lot cleaner and allows you not drink hop floaties for the first few pints out of the keg!danlatimer wrote: ↑Mon Feb 24, 2020 5:11 pmis the cold crash to help reduce hop particles in the beer / "hop burn".

Agreed, the crash helps against chewy beer

Anyone know if Noble Grape is still a drop off option or is it the brewery only?

Re: Garrsion Brew Off 2020?
The email from Diana says either the seaport or oxford locations.
I just wrote them looking for the registration form because in that email the link is coming up as the style guideline sheet.

The woman at the brewery said yesterday that they had a lot of entries this year compared to last. I wouldn't want to be a judge for this comp!
