• Posted in thread: Just bought My first two kegs! GROSS! on 06-18-2013 at 07:34 PM
  I always replace the pressure relief valves on all my used kegs. I usually don't replace
  poppits unless needed(too expensive). Also get yourself one of the long skinny brushes meant to
  clean the insid...

• Posted in thread: Keg cooling question on 06-18-2013 at 07:25 PM
  One thing I do is duct tape my temp probe to the side of one of the kegs inside. It better
  regulates the temp inside(beer temp, not ambient air temp), and the on-off cycling of the
  compressor is signi...

  I should also mention that I've never had a primary go that long, but from what I have read, it
  would be fine unless temps were less than desirable, or it's been in the primary for way too
  long...like...

  I wired two outlets into mine, which a controls an upright freezer. On the first outlet, one

  other outlet c...

  Congratulations! Be warned though, this hobby can really get addicting (and expensive) but it

  Have you ever used the "Spray bottle" trick for your hot break? Use a regular spray bottle

  If MoreBeer in Concord still exists (the web page proudly shows testimonials from 2010 and
  photos from a great social event they held in 2009) I might find myself going there a lot. My
  LHBS doesn't se...

  First off, let me say welcome to the jump to kegging! You won't regret it. Let me start by
  asking what you are serving from? Kegerator with actual taps? Fridge with a picnic tap? Bucket
  of ice? Second...

  With a tiny bit of ingenuity, you could rig up a piece of tubing to your already-existing
  gas-in post, and put a diffusion stone on the other end. Ive used this method before but
