| Dec 6, 2010 at 2:52 | comment | added | Mike S | I sanitize the tube for my CO2, stick it in the secondary vessel, and shoot enough CO2 into the container to make this a non-issue. Obviously this isn't an option without keg equipment... | |
| Nov 29, 2010 at 17:07 | comment | added | JasonStoltz | I ask those 2 questions, because if you're waiting for the yeast to finish it's clean-up before moving to the secondary, it seems like there won't be enough CO2 created in the secondary ... and if you try to move it to the secondary before fermentation is totally complete because you want CO2 created, it sounds like you are saying it won't spend enough time on the yeast cake to do clean-up. | |
| Nov 29, 2010 at 17:03 | comment | added | JasonStoltz | 2 questions ... If you don't move it to secondary until 2+ weeks have passed (well after majority of fermentation is complete), will the beer produce enough CO2 in the secondary to push out oxygen? 2) Can the yeast really not do clean up in the secondary if it is moved too early? | |
