Thanks Josh very interesting read and a very smart and daring man That Michael Ash.
Looks like a bong.
Open the humongous butterfly valve at the bottom of the clear chamber. You can see the handle on the flange.
Yeah it's exactly that a hop Bong pretty snazzy aye good onya kegland for you genius workarounds and names

Figured that one out all by myself, looking at what appears to be the base. Looks like a lid to a fermenter to me.Yeah it's exactly that a hop Bong pretty snazzy aye good onya kegland for you genius workarounds and names
It goes on top of the fermenter @RoadRoach
Vary cool Clint
Can't like that Clint. Damn.Well, I have to return this contraption because it is too tall for my ferm chamber even without the hop glass. Shucks!
Dam it sorry to hear man.Well, I have to return this contraption because it is too tall for my ferm chamber even without the hop glass. Shucks!
Mate that's how come I built a glycol system after finding out my kegmenter don't fit in my freezer

You may have just given me a great idea for undisturbed dry-hopping in the FF 7.9G 'Alien craft'. Looks like the space ships from "War of the Worlds" sans the people grabbing tentacles. No need to remove the top and expose the beer if I just use magnets. I like it. Magnets, I have, just need to make sure they're sterile and corrosion resistant. Some small nylon mesh bags would do beautifully. My hop spider is way too long to do that with, but nothing says it has to be used for dry hopping. As long as I leave the air-lock in place, there shouldn't be anything but CO2 in there, even if under practically zero pressure. Not touching/handling the beer is the key to a good batch, IMO, even more so than the small amount of oxygen introduced while bottling. I'll solve the bottling thing one day, and looking at some more manageable alternatives already. I think you pointed me at the 8L PET mini-kegs for storage. Still want to do something about pressure fermentation and transfer first, then I'll try out the mini-kegs.Mate that's how come I built a glycol system after finding out my kegmenter don't fit in my freezer
Just dryhop earlier eh.
Or my workmate loves adding his dry hop to the fermenter in bag with a magnet and then releases this once dry hop is needed always a workaround
I'm going to risk adding hops after releasing the pressure and then re seal and pressure up to 12psi and purge any oxygen.Mate that's how come I built a glycol system after finding out my kegmenter don't fit in my freezer

CO2 is heavier than air, so as long as you don't leave it open too long and don't have much air movement, there shouldn't be much air intrusion into the fermenter if you open a small port. The hops additions will take a little bit in when you put them in, but not much. Obviously you'll lose the pressure you had before, but there should be minimal air 'contamination'. I've walked around waist deep in a CO2 cloud after a mill fire in an aluminum mill and was perfectly safe because the CO2 was pretty cold when released (thus the cloud) and it takes a little while for it to mix with air if there's no forced air movement. When you re-pressure, it'll be like nothing ever happened because the amount of air that goes in with the hops will be pretty miniscule.
I have an allrounder, but I don't have the height I need in my fermenter for one of those. I will just continue to depressive (key is to do that slowly), drop the hops, and get the lid back on luckily split!
These things are great. I have 4. Pretty expensive though.
