I didn't hear exactly whose beard it is.

Rogue is apparently coming out with a beer made from yeast harvested from a guy's beard.

I used notty and it ate this thing down to 1.008! It doesn't really have any flavor right now but it's still young in its carbing stage. I've had it at about 8psi for just 4 days. Hope that once it carbs up I'll start getting more flavor, but I'm afraid the fg is just too low.

Made it. Love it. Had some slight variations in the recipe that I'll post later.

I just re-did the tubing with locks on the ends. I'm concerned that the leak came from the quick release. When I first connected it the quick release was making noise. If I pressed down on it hard the noise would stop. How can I test to see if the quick release connection to the keg is leaking...

Tried this out and after a night of carbing at 30psi my 5gal co2 tank is already out. Is that normal?

Got the liquid hose on after boiling. The gas hose isn't even close and actually isn't even getting rubbery from the boiling. Feel like I need the same diameter as the liquid hose.

The liquid hose seems like it will have a chance of fitting after boiling, but I really don't see how the gas hose is going to fit. The liquid one is larger in diameter than the gas one obviously.

Ok, got the ball locks to fit. I didn't realize they went right on top. I had the valves unlocked on the keg like in that second picture I posted. Now I'm going to boil the tubes and see if I really do need to buy bigger one (pretty sure I will need to). Thanks for helping me out!

Ok I posted a picture of the top of my keg and a picture with the gas valve unscrewed, which seems to be too small for my quick release.

Ok some more problems I'm running into. I cut both the lines, the liquid and gas lines. The liquid bolt fits the new mfl and screws back onto the single valve fine. The gas one does not work however. The bolt that screws it into the singlevalve has too small of a hole to fit the new mfl. If I...

On the second picture I posted. It's the gas line. Not sure what the right name is.

I immediately run into the problem of not being able to pull the hose off. I took the copper clamp off and still cant remove the hose. Can I cut it?

Ok so I got a kegerator for Xmas. I just bought a keg and am ready to do this. Unfortunately, I just discovered that I can't. My kegerator is for single valve kegs, which I guess are commercial kegs. The keg I bought is a standard homebrew keg with one valve for gas and another for liquid. I...
