Both the KEG and the CO2 tank are in the refrig. Is that OK? Also, what is the ideal frig temp?

It is 10'. Not sure of diameter - whatever came with kegging equipment.

Well, I kegged about 10 days ago at a constant 12 psi. The beer tastes good, has lots of head but seems low on carbonation. Any ideas?

You know, I posted a question on bottles a week ago. I remember these bottle - truly returnable and refillable. I wondered how they compared to today's bottles.

Well, I am drinking my 1st glass of kegged Pale Ale right now. Good thing that I bought TWO kegs because the OUT on one did not fit the dispenser. This is a memorable experience. It tastes good and it is a great looking beer.

Who are the bottle manufacturers?

Well, I have about 15 cases of well cared for and clean brown (non screw) bottles. The sourrce of these bottles were mostly Sam Adams, Cooperstown Brewing and Brooklyn. At one time I worked for a can company and I can find the can manufacturer logo on each can. Is there a way to find the bottle...

T 58 Do you think this will be close to a Duvel?

No, it does not call for yeast nutrient but it does not call for a secondary either - basics only like bottling after one week in the primary.

I have a True Brew Kit - Belgian Ale. I was told that this would be a Duvel clone. I would like to start it tomorrow. I noticed that the kit does not include yeast nutrient. Is yeast nutrient advisable for this beer with a beginning gravity of 1.06? If so, do I add it when I transfer to the...

Withe the exception of the indents, are the in and out posts different structurally?

I am new to this as well. I have my first keg carbonating right now. I got a two keg dual gauge setup - Taprite gauges. It came with a manifold so I guess I can have 2 kegs at the same pressure and another keg at an entirely different on. I got a 10 lb tank because it was suggested in an article...

This is probably a common question. I have my keg disassembled and soaking right now. I labeled the IN parts and the OUT parts BUT the only thing different that I observed was the long out tube and the very short gas in tube. Are there other structural differences in the valves and/or the...
