I had the same problem and noticed that the rim on the opening to the keg had a bend in 1 section. I pulled it back inline with some vice grips and that did the trick for me.

Ben, Congratulations on your success with the show. I can see you integrating craft beers/homebrew into your own cooking show. I'm curious to know if you have remade the venison dish just for the hell of it. I have some venison loin and want to try to make it. If you have the chance, please...

I'm starting to think that bald headed judge is ruining the show. He's so dramatic with his comments and dumping the food. This guy seems to get pleasure by bringing an adult to tears. It think its stupid that being a contestant on the show requires that you have to become the recipient to...

Glad that prick got kicked off. I think Ben has a good strategy of flying under the radar until the end.

Ben, I'll be rooting for you. My SWMBO said that your forgetting the secret ingredient then laughing about it would be something I would do. Hilarious! good luck.

Kudos azcoob, My beer turned out great. Just poured my first sample. A refreshing, easy drinking ale. Nice clean taste thats slightly nutty and roasty.

I built a keezer last Christmas and attached the lid with silicone sealant. Yesterday, the lid came off when I opened it. The bead i used was a little more than 1/4" thick zigg zagged around the top of the collar. Please give me some tips to get the lid to attach better.

How long has your Krausen stayed fluffy. Mine dropped pretty quick. after 3 days.

The og was 1.039, But I was short on volume about 1/2 gal. My boil off rate is tricky with a wide mouth pot. So I think it would have been spot on if my volume was correct. I hit my temps and double sparged as per directions.

Mashing the grains as I type. Cant wait to hear some reports from the others who have brewed this one. Brew shop did not have crystal 60. Had to use some 80 and 45 mixed

So if the industrial supply company fills a tank and it weights 5lb more than an empty tank. And, A lhbs shop fills a tank from a larger tank (looks like the helium balloon tanks at the grocery store) and the tank also weighs 5lb more than the empty weight, What you are saying is the tank filled...

I called a gas distribution company regarding tank fills. The guy says their 5lb tank fills will last much longer because they use liquid CO2 to fill the tank rather than filling from another tank like what a lhbs would do. Is this true? I'm skeptical.

cool it down to what? takes me about 20 minutes to get to 86 ish. My tap water in the spring and summer is about 80*

Mine was just a stab, you would need to put it to a computer program to calculate the OG. I could be off. I thought it should be something like 1.048-1.050 I put the sugar to dry the beer out abit. May be too much. Interested in what your lhbs says.

I have this one and now wish I had gotten a bigger one. It takes too long to get the wort that last 20 degrees cooler.
