Thanks Push and Brad... I have a mini fridge that will be used for dispensing so I don't know about crashing the temp too low but I could keep the brite tank in there for a few weeks before I transfer.

Appreciate it guys,

Rob

I use glass carboys for all batches except when I need to do a 10 gallon batch. Then I use a conical because it holds 10 gallons.

I do not do "secondary" either. Most of the folks describe my process correctly, but it has nothing to do with conicals. I let the beer sit on the yeast until everything fermentation/yeast related is complete. Then the beer gets kegged and carbonated. I don't use a racking cane. I just use a length of tubing and I don't have any trouble getting the beer off the yeast.

I heard Jamil likes to brew naked while watching Mexican soap operas. :oops:

That is also untrue. I always wear boots while brewing.

How people come up with statements about you when they've never seen you brew never ceases to amaze me.

Alright, yesterday I brewed a SNPA Clone, and to cool, I used an Immersion Chiller PLUS I recirculated the wort and ran it through my HERMS coil submersed in a 5 gallon bucket filled with ice. It worked like a champ!!! My 10 gallons of wort were down to 60 in under 10 minutes, and the cold break had settled out. My wort was crystal clear. With this method, I should be able to skip a secondary. I'll let you know the drinkability of the beer in future replies.
I brew, therefore I am.
