Krausen at 24 hours on a batch of American Philosophy Ale with about 1.75 lbs of Briess Pilsen Light and 2 fromundas.

Kinda takes me back, my first batch in the LBK was a WCPA.

All rise.

This thread ought to be pinned in announcements.

Glad to see the thread. The jokes were a favorite in a prior life at that other place. Let the belly laughs resume.

Duh, thanks.

Funny (to me anyway) this was never a question with a LBK, brew bucket, or a carboy. Would you need more than one valve then? If you let the trub go, would you later bottle fr...

How to you tag or bookmark a topic? One of the great features of the old hangout was that ability. I tagged many topics that I could return to when I needed refreshers on things like batch priming, kegging, or other info I found valuable. I'll bet you can do that here but I have not found it or figu...

Some have mentioned a desire for a trub valve at the bottom of the lbc. Why? Help me understand. What would be the benefit?
