Getting Consistency I completely agree with this. Your first step is temperature control of fermentaion. Once you have that nailed down you can build something to control your mash temperature. I am currently building a RIMS. After that you can get into less obvious places for consistancy such as yeast pitching rate, disolved oxygen, ect. |

Is it okay to ferment a 5 gallon batch in a 14 gallon conical fermenter? Actually, for primary fermentation you are not so worried about oxidation. During the respiration phase, the yeast require oxygen and will take in most of it. Any left in the head space will quickly be purged by the denser CO2 produced by the yeast. |

Conical fermenter: worth it? I've noticed with most of my beers, a fermentation temperature swing of even 2F will change the flavor profile of the beer. I plan putting a glycol jacket on it at some point. |

Early vs Late secondary fermentation There's a risk, but it is a very small risk. Just use good sanitation practices and there should be no problem at all. |

[WIKI] Bottle Sanitizing Techniques - Pros & Cons Yup, I sanitize the bottle tree, and the caps. I dip the whole tree upside down in the bucket of San star for 30 seconds. Watch out for liquid getting in the vent holes, it'll make a mess. Never rinse off san star, that will undo your sanitation. |

[WIKI] Bottle Sanitizing Techniques - Pros & Cons San here, best method. I rinse out my bottles as I open them. Use a bottle tree. Star San really only needs a 30 sec contact time, but time everything dipped and put on the tree they are all sanitized. Never had an infection. |
