Beginning techniques for low oxygen beer transfers from fermenter to keg | Easy homebrewing method
This isn't 100% oxygen-free beer transfer method, but it's an easy way to get started in the right direction for beginning beer homebrewers to get their beer from their fermenter to their keg.
This method is easy for most beginning homebrewers, and more importantly it gets you thinking about how to minimize your beer's exposure to oxygen.
This is critical because it's your own creativity that will help evolve your homebrewing processes to improve the quality of your final product.
We all need help and ideas to spur us along, then you'll find new solutions and techniques to improve the processes that are out there.
This is the spirit of homebrewing worldwide! We all share ideas to help each other in an open format to improve our efforts so that we're all making the best beer possible for the level of skill and equipment that we have at any given time.
This is why I love this hobby so much!
I also love it because brewing is a universal language, you may only speak one language, but when we learn homebrewing, we can now talk to other homebrewers across the world in the language of yeast, wort, temperature control, hops, IBUs, grain, specific gravity, krausen, ABV, etc. and share a beer during the discussion.
If you learned something from this video, please subscribe so I know it's worth my effort to make more helpful videos.

Переглядів 6984 місяці тому
I show you how to lower your brake pedal to make it easier to switch your foot between the gas and brake pedal. I think this is safer and more comfortable because you don't have to lift your entire leg as far to suddenly hit the brakes. This is for 67-72 Chevy and GMC trucks, but I'm sure the principle and technique applies to several other vehicles. I also show how to improvise a very simple b...

    Wow, great video. Ive heard in order to install a roller cam and roller lifters into a gen 1 sbc, you have to install tall lifter sleeves so the oil holes on the lifters dont lift up too far out of the lifter bores. I would like to do this to my engine, but im not sure what all is involved. I really worry about wiping a cam lobe during the "break in" period with a flat tappet cam. Thats the nice thing about the roller cams, no need to break in the cam. What brand of timing cover is that you are using ? Great video !

    • @skillsmydadtaughtme880
      @skillsmydadtaughtme880 Рік тому

      Thanks Mike. Like every security device, if someone wants it bad enough they’ll get it. The idea is to make it difficult for the casual opportunistic thief. The club is a step in that direction. A kill switch is another step. But I’d rather them see a major hurdle like the club BEFORE they smash a window to get in only to discover it won’t start. I had a club actually prevent a theft before on a different vehicle. They broke in and tried to drill the club lock but couldn’t. Cost me about $100 to fix the break-in damage but that’s it. A smarter thief would’ve done what you suggested and cut the steering wheel. Thieves usually aren’t as smart as you or I.
