Although you could it would leave the lid ajar slightly causing some steam to escape. So technically not the way it was intended to be used.

Yes it can, I have done it myself with the same system, there is enough of a vacuum that it still works 90%

I love the 17.76% that would have been cool. I do hate wasting beer...what is even more entertaining, for the handful of beers I've every spilled, that are almost always my first beer of the night.

I will ask again as there are a handful of items that I've been nudging them to sell for a while. Another would be just the head units for the Blichmann Pumps. This way you could swap out the Tri-Clamp for the NPT or the other way around based on your brewing equipment.

Thank you for the very kind words. I will keep these videos coming with both kits, home brewed without a kit (made really easy), and of course other beverages like cider, kombucha, and others.

Thank you very much. Appreciate the feedback. Cheers! 🍻

I am very pleased with mine infact so pleased i ordered another one ,you will not be dissapointed enjoy.

Once you get ready, just give me a shout at Mike (at) BitterRealityBrewing.com and I'll assist you. I also have a video coming up that if you decided to brew an All Grain Beer, will make it extremely easy with no need to purchase any equipment, assuming you have 2 pots and a colander.

Let me know what you brew beyond the kits as I have a whole series that will be coming out on brewing or like products just for the iGulu.

@@BitterRealityBrewing Hi Mike,i have a 1 gallon white wine kit i am wanting to do not sure on settings etc, Regards from Yorkshire uk.

😂 I'm still brewing on all my other equipment, but it is so easy and fun to use, it is hard not to keep using it. I have an all grain Belgian Tripel video coming soon too. (Plus of course, Blichmann, Anvil, and Spike Brewing videos in the works too.)

i think this system is faantastic i have 2 of these i love experimenting with them.

I get where you are coming from but if you take a moment you can see they actually have several targets: Keep in mind it isn't a "Brewing System", but a "Ferment and Serve" system. The same way "Brewing Systems" aren't "Ferment and Serve" systems. 1. The person who just wants to buy 5L Kegs and serve it. 2. The entertainer or host of course from Beer, Cider, Kombucha, Wine, to Seltzer. 3. The person that has a small space and simply doesn't want to go deep into the home brewing knowledge level. 4. The dedicated home brewer that loves to experiment and wants to do it on a small scale with minimal labor.

I feel you, as I'm starting to have a lot of fun experimenting. I have an upcoming video where I just used to pots and a colander to brew a Tripel that is in the iGulu now, being enjoyed.

@@PIGGY789 can you explain how you experiement with this? Its a kit with instructions you follow. The benefit to normal extract brewing is that it gets you involved in the process this doesn't At all. It over complicates something that doesn't need to be complicated. This proudct restricts experimentation and learning. This is the microwave version of brewing beer.

@donaldgarrell5467 The Igulu is not just for brewing kits, for example I am currently enjoying a Hopped hard cider, made with apple juice and hop pellets, previously I've done a hazy pale ale with DME and Citra hop pellets, I know it's not for everyone but I love it because I don't have the time for all grain brewing at the moment, but hopefully one day I will have more time.

Ptiching a bug is a Brett or like bacteria that would eat the sugar, but usually it is with a yeast to help with the ABV. My more recent joke, is to call it a sweet beer and use it for cooking.

Are you referring to Brettanomyces yeast?

Sadly, I think tasting the more aromatic one kept green from standing out as much. We will be doing more, but other beers, unless I'm lucky enough to visit a Tree House location.

I will send more, but different styles.

Funny thing is I prefer metric for anything I need to be exact on especially in weight like brewing salts, or like baking Sour Dough bread, but when it comes to temps, I prefer Fahrenheit to Celsius as it seems more granular.

I now have three since that video. I've purchased 2 and Anvil Brewing sent me a more recent version. I prefer to use them all the time as they are very easy and straight forward.

Yeah, I've heard that which is a lot like their fermenters, but I would expect they can easily go 4 to 5 years without issues. The big concern is holding pressure without breaking as plastic of any kind can become brittle over the years mainly due to UV exposure, which mine are exposed to as little as possible without keeping them in the dark. (The garage area is 100% LED lighting which stays off, unless I'm in there.)

@@BitterRealityBrewing Considering it's from the manufacturer they stating it for safety reasons, specifically when used at pressure and average environments. But, yeah, doing what your doing _should_ help.

It is only 1 gallon and the company doesn't suggest over 1 month. I've started just transferring the beer to another 1 gallon keg, which is extremely easy to do and quick. As for the dry hopping, I fully agree after the 3 to 7 days based on your preference (I like 3 to 5 days),. I would always recommend transferring to another pre-purged keg.

I hadn't heard about them until about 6 months ago. Very cool places with good beer.

Mine too now, except I want to go to the one on the water.

@@BitterRealityBrewingafter hearing about it, me too lol

Sandwich, MA on the Cape.

Hey kiddo

We'll do it again, as I had a blast and learned a ton about Tree House Brewing!

All three were really good, but Julius was amazing!

Thank you for your support. We learned a lot about Tree House Brewing.

​@BitterRealityBrewing should of kept on going or done a part 2 🙂

I know this is a bit late, but did you get a chance to unbox and set it up yet? It is a really sleek system and very easy to use. The directions are probably the best I've ever seen on getting everything connected properly.

@@BitterRealityBrewing I will be unboxing end of the month. Where did you buy your racks? I need some for my garage setup.

LOL. She hates beer, but tolerates this as it makes me leave her alone.

They are light and easy to experiment with. Hopefully with the release of the 5 gallon version they might consider a 3 gallon as I doubt they will do a 2.5 gallon one since they already have the 2.1 version.

😂🍻😎Sounds good, but I make so much beer, it is extremely rare if I finish the keg without a lot of help.😂🍻😎

Sadly, I don't have a discord as it would be one more thing to keep up with.

I'll be starting on Meads and Kombucha in about 2 weeks. I have a lot of Meads and Kombucha brews planned.

Do you ever try pitching different yeasts on the same wort? That is one of the things I love about these, is that I can either do something like that or even a back flavoring to each to try.

It might be perfect I saw this now, as I just watched another home brewing video where they were selling 3D printed stands for the 8L Kegs. Thinking something like that might be coming out from KegLand next to help keep them standing up. When they are full, it isn't a problem, but when they get low, it is hard to keep them upright sometimes.

Yeah, MoreBeer was running at about $28 complete with the top part during a big sale little while back.

I also use the Core 360, but also own two very similar devices from Ikegger and Brouwland (Belgium). The Ikegger and Brouwland ones are considerably better, imho, so if you can get your hands on one of those in your country, I would definitely recommend them instead of the one from Kegland.

Vito from MoreBeer recommended Nova Lager, which can ferment at 50 to 68 F. As it was a hoppy beer, I felt a warmer temp within that range would be best. I fermented it at 64 F for the entire time and kept those temps during dry hopping at around 10 psi during fermentation. (pressure fermentation isn't necessary.) Once it was done, pressure (closed) transferred it to a keg with a small amount of Gelatin (about 1/2 tsp dissolved) and cold crashed it under CO2 pressure for about 1 week before putting it on tap. (If you don't ferment it under pressure, you may need two weeks under CO2 to reach proper carbonation.) My keg is getting close to kicking, as it is still my go-to beer at the moment.

I think I might try brewing this or a like Cold IPA again but maybe try Lunar Crush from Omega to see if I can kick the aromas up as it is a Thiolized Lager yeast.

Thank you for the info. I do enjoy your videos

During fermentation, I would purge the CO2 down using the PRV once a day to around 10 psi. I think they made a major difference, and once it was ready to serve, I made sure to keep the CO2 down around 12 psi, which is pretty easy if you have a CO2 tank connected. I will say it seems to very sometimes as the Wheat and Cider were really easy, but the first Pale Ale was a bit frustrating with the foam, but I think I have it under control now with my Belgian Tripel I'm drinking that was fermented with the iGulu.

Honestly if you are brewing on a flat top metal or at least a table that can tolerate high temps, the flat bottom is a great choice for stability and a bit less to clean. If you are brewing on the ground or on a table that might not tolerate the heat, the bottom drain would be a better choice. Also if you like to whirlpool a lot with a stupid amount of hops, the bottom drain could be a big advantage. I feel they are both great systems and if I purchased it, I would have gone for the flat bottom as I brew on a large SS table, and rarely whirlpool with too many hops to worry about. Love the pump's grinding ability on the hop matter as you hear it when the hops hit the first time and after that you are good. That Ron Mexico Pale Ale sounds really nice. The iGulu is comparable to a giant time saver from fermenting in a 1 gallon jug and then bottling. Just a major convenience with the temp control and serving without having to transfer to bottles. I really wish someone would come out with a 5 gallon version, then I'd move all my beers to that for fermentation and serving. It would save me from the keg transfer and one extra thing to clean.
