So question: I have movers taking my stuff 1200+ miles, about a week of travel. I have two corneys with finished beer in them. One is almost done and I'll empty in time. The other is 99% full. I hear transport trucks get very hot. If I let the beer come to room temp and purge to keep the pressure low, I should hopefully be ok right? I'd hate to have to throw a party and to finish a whole …
I wonder if it is possible to transport Star San in checked luggage for an intercontinental flight? I plan to buy a couple of bottles in the US and fly back to Europe and I wonder if it's possible.
The home brew shop I go to is about a 45 min drive from my house. Do I need a cool box or ice pack to get liquid yeast back home and in my fridge? The guy at the store said that's what I'll need to do but I've read online about people shipping it over multiple days to hot climates and it's been fine. Thoughts?
At last spring I brewed a batch of belgian ale that turned to be highly over carbonated. It comes out of bottle quite merrily, but so far none of the bottles have exploded or even leaked by themself. Now to the tricky part, I have to move out of the place where the bottles are stored and I think it would bee too nasty joke to leave bottles behind. So the question is how to safely transport over carbonated glass …
All I was able to find was a question related to moving the bottles, but not the demijohns during secondary fermentation. I really want to brew some elderflower wine and starting after I move is not an option as the flowers will be gone by then. How likely is the agitation related to moving the demijohns to mess up my fermentation process?
Background Due to the limitations of my apartment, I decided to brew at a friend's house. Once my double IPA had finished its fermentation phases, I proceeded to bottling it. Shortly afterwards, I packed them into my car and (carefully) drove home (~15 mins). Question Due to the jostling of the bottles during the drive, and the shifting that happened while carrying them up and down stairs, is it likely that this has significantly affected my brew? More generically, can …
I have some 'sugar carbonated' cider with sediment in the bottom of each bottle. I would like to transport the cider via car to another location (for a party). Is it likely that moving the cider will disturb the sediment? If the sediment is disturbed, how long will I need to leave it at the new location before the sediment will re-settle? (Hours / Days / Weeks) What do other cider makers do if they decide to transport home brew …
So I have a big bumper pull camper that I travel around the country with. I was thinking about a camping trip with some buddies and was considering the implications of perhaps starting a brew while we were waiting for the pork shoulder to come out of the smoker. I am curious if anyone ever tried to start a brew while in the woods. The camper has a full kitchen, to include a propane burner stove and an electric/propane operated …
I want to brew with some friends in my country house but temperature this time of year there is not ideal to leave the fermentor there so i will have to transport it for about 100 km.I am not sure how to transport the wort after we finish. Should i chill ,transfer to bucket and pitch or not?
Last night, I was trying to carry some bottles of my home-brewed beer in the basket of my bicycle. I only made it a few blocks from my home before I noticed that most of them were leaking. The caps were firmly on but most of the beer had escaped and made a mess. How can I prevent this from happening in the future? This has happened once before with my own beer but never with store-bought bottles. I am …
I brewed an IPA yesterday. All went well and it is bubbling away today. However, my friend's brewing fridge/fermenting chamber just freed up and he suggested putting my brew in there. It would obviously be better to ferment it in the fridge with temp control etc. I'd have to drive it to his house (5 mins away). Is it too late to move it? Will that just oxidise the beer? Or is it early enough that I won't have to …
I wanted to get a batch ready for labor day, so I purchased some kegging equipment and opted to keg this beer. However, I am driving 5ish hours to a lake, where I plan to keep the keg in a ice bath once I get there. For the transportation: 1.) Should I keep the CO2 tank hooked up (particularly if its carbed to my liking prior to departure)? At what PSI? I realize I will need it once I get …
I have 4 beers I need to transport (I'm moving), 3 of which are currently aging. One of them is currently on tap. I don't think I'll worry too much about it. The other three are wild ales, one is kegged, the other two in carboys, each with about 1 year of age. I'm worried about the effects of splashing, specifically contamination and oxygenation, does anybody have any experience doing this? I'm also worried that disrupting the pellicule will cause …
I'm about to upgrade to cornelius kegs and have located a retailer that will sell the public "pub gas" in 6.35Kg cylinders. What are the UK regulations for transporting this in my car? Do I need to purchase one of the green diamond, compressed gas, warning labels to stick on my car? These are usually 10cm x 10 cm - is this the minimum permitted size? I have seen 3 wording varieties of the green diamonds warning labels: compressed gas …
I'm in the process of brewing several carboys of beer to serve at my wedding in a few months. The catch is that the wedding is on the other side of the country. I'm planning on taking a few days to drive it there myself, and I'm wondering how best to package it. I'm going to be bottling because the logistics and cost of keg fridges will be prohibitive. I'm driving a pickup truck with a cap so vertical stacking …
