Canadian Eh!L Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Log Cabin Breweries is ramping up production to two full time fermenting vessels!..[sideways] [tongue] [alien] The sad part of the story is the 2nd FV is only 25L.[annoyed] I've heard talk about starting the brew at a lower volume until the krausen dies back. What is a recommended volume? Chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy Waters Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Wow - Things are really happening [biggrin] - Next step...world domination [alien] I've been known to brew at a lower volume (about 3-5L less) but that is only for volcanic stouts. Most of my beers are done to full volume in a 25L fermentor and the krausen rarely, if ever gets close to the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Eh!L Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 Muddy, When I say 25L I mean right to the brim. This would only give 2L of head space. Is this ok? Chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
