just using a lid for now

Same here Acasta, i screwed the lid down uber hard....now its good as gold, no more acetaldehyde type problems. Whats everyone's thoughts on cold crashing? should we dose with co2 to flush out any air that has been 'sucked' into the fermenter? or just relax :)

I had a run of Acetaldehyde beers recently, everything i read said yeast, sanitation and 02.....after trying all these i still had the issue, i finally figured out my issue, it turned out that i had not seled up my fermenters properly post fermentation. So as the C02 had stopped being created by...

Thanks mate, im hanging to fire it up and give her a test run with the new gear.

not such a big issue, but i've had problems lautering an extended length mash, turns into porridge and struggles to drain properly.
