@@CTP-bbq-HundHutte Thanks! It comes in super handy when moving over to cold crashing to avoid suckback since at that point I just swap the blowoff for a SodaStream canister to put 1-2 PSI on it.
I just did the same kit and i had a slight issue with adding the full last two gallons. I ended up with 5-1/2 gallons in my fermenter with all the ingrediants. Especially after reading in the Flash Brew FAQ it says to top up to five gallons.
Interesting, thanks for sharing that! On the instruction sheets they have you add three gallons, then add the ingredients, and then add another two gallons, so it's interesting they have an FAQ that says to top the fermenter up to 5 gallons. You of course do lose a bit of volume from the trub so in the two batches I've done I found that if you use 5 gallons of water you wind up with pretty much exactly 5 gallons of finished beer, but seems like some consistency/clarity would be helpful. Thanks for watching!
@@CraftBrew23 Mine didn't -- it definitely started fast and the visible activity in the blowoff tube subsided relatively quickly after about 3 days. Are you saying it's stalled because you're not seeing any airlock activity?
I like the blowoff idea with the ball lock. I never thought about it but I’m going to start using it. Thanks for sharing

Thanks interested in these kits. Suggest to do one of their flash IPA kits. 👌🏻🍺
@@kricketdude thanks for watching! The next kit I'm doing is the I Heart IPA. Have you done one yet?
@@irondalebrewing No yet but planning on it!

Did your Flash Beer stall fermentation on the second day. Mine did. Little nervous. Brewed it on Monday September 1 and it’s stalled or done.

You should do a side by side with Mr beer kit haha
@@Peanutbuttergalactic That might be interesting!
