    What's my gravity?

    Thanks, I realized my picture was bad once it was too late!

    What's my gravity?

    1.058, 1.060? Or is my picture just bad.

    Fermentation issue

    True, I was thinking more in the lines of trying to find a better balance between the sweetness and the ABV. Having a hard time seeing any way to balance this to an acceptable level though. I used the wrong term, I meant an alpha-galactosidase enzyme, such as Beano.

    Fermentation issue

    That sums up my thought process as well. I was a bit skeptical about the recipe at first (grain bill, mash temp), but mostly in my own ability to pull it off. I like to be proactive in my brewing approach and understand what's going on in the various steps. I'm not "worried" about it, but I...

    Fermentation issue

    Good day everyone I want my question to be as thorough as possible and would like to have the input of other experienced brewers. I believe I have a fermentation problem that most likely stems from my mash temperature which I wasn’t able to stabilize during the process, which ultimately might...

    I like that, thanks Bobby!

    CO2 Leak Hunting

    It seems that my leaks are coming from the Duotight (plastic) > MFL connections (stainless). Has anyone had similar issues where they had to install a plastic flare on the stainless MFL connections? I recall seeing elsewhere that day_trippr uses EVA Barrier / Duotights.

    CO2 Leak Hunting

    Thanks for all the tips, this is what I generally do when I make changes to my setup and what I've been doing since this weekend.

    CO2 Leak Hunting

    I'm testing everything individually, so far I know I don't have any leaks anywhere between the CO2 to the primary and to the secondary. I'm at the point where I'm testing the lines going from the secondary regulator to the individual kegs. That is brilliant, I have bulkheads on my kegerator...

    CO2 Leak Hunting

    Dropped by another 4points overnight. I'll tighten everything up a tad more and re test.

    CO2 Leak Hunting

    Thanks; I've lost a few CO2 tanks to stubborn leaks that I couldn't find with the spray bottle technique (last time was behind the CO2 shutoff valve handle) which makes me somewhat paranoid every time I change something on the gas side of my setup. I'll leave it overnight but the temperature...

    CO2 Leak Hunting

    I am leak proofing my kegerator and would like to know if I should investigate the following further or not. I've put my regulators at 40 psi and closed the gas to see if there were any leaks, after about 8 hours disconnected from the gas, the high pressure side dropped from 60 to 56 (as shown...

    Micro Matic 8044-PP Regulator

    And final update : I've played with the small spring, reassembled everything and the regulators are now working :D

    Micro Matic 8044-PP Regulator

    Got to the inner core and everything seems intact.
