I suppose, red Ale is about ready… brew again? Gotta try a small brew with Saison yeast…

Think I’ll put a small amount of CO2 in the My-Bock. Then I can clear out the sediment… then hit it with some high pressure for more time to absorb it…

well, too much trub has got my keg really stuck! The dip tube gets clogged… solid! Taken the liquid side apart 5X… That’s enuff…
it’ll sit in the fridge for a couple of weeks, then I’ll gently siphon(rack). It can sit under pressure again for a week and that’s it… Crack it open!

Changed my mind… I have a floating dip tube on its way … I looked at our host’ site and they don’t have that option…

I have 3 make sure to get the filter. Another hint is just peak inside to make sure the the filter is hanging below the float. Ive been careless and it was sitting on the ball. Had to release the pressure to fix it. Not a big deal but a waste of gas

Well I didn’t get a filtered one… I’ll give this one a go… if need be, I’ll find a way to get a filter should I have problems…

Well the filter will be needed if you dry hop without a bag. It also hold the tubing in the liquid. Ive used it without but ended up getting a couple pretty cheap anyway. It comes with a short metal tube piece you can stick in the end of the tubing to help keep it under the surface use it
