Over the weekend I tried some other brews that I bottled the same way, and they were fine. I'm thinking that maybe I hadn’t cleaned and sanitized the beer gun well enough. I don’t always take it completely apart, and I might not have got to the spot between the beer tube and CO2 line.

Since I've started kegging I've been always bottling a six pack of every batch. I've done this with a carbonated keg and a beer gun, but foaming was an issue and I always made a mess. I figured an easier and cleaner way would be to bottle immediately after I rack to the keg while the beer is...

Yup. I think I had 4 2-litre pop bottles and a 1.5 litre blowoff container.

I was able to fit a 6-gal glass carboy and a 6-gal BB at the same time. It was tight across, but it worked like a champ.

Tried out the cooler for the first time yesterday, and wasn't disappointed. Using 3 frozen 2 litre bottles, I brought the temperature down to 58F from 69F in 12 hours. Good thing I'm using notty yeast, because i didn't expect that much of a temp drop in that short of time. Super simple...

I'm glad I came across this thread before I went out and bought another appliance. It's hard to explain to the wife why I need another fridge/freezer when I've already got 2 dedicated to beer. As someone in a previous post had mentioned, I'd be curious to see how this would work for lagers in...

Something similar happened to me. After primary fermentation cleared up I saw a big bee floating around in my beer. It must have flew in during the boil as I've caught a couple more comacazi bees since then. I just scooped him out and all was well. The pale ale bee beer turned out quite good so...

Hi, new kegger here (and lovin' it :ban:), I just bought a single kegging system and filled it with a batch of beer last night. To sanitize, I put a couple gallons of starsan solution in the keg and sloshed it around. I then pressured it up and ran stansan through the dip tube and picnic tap...
