Thanks for the info! How does Appkejack taste when compared to Ice Cider? Is one generally sweeter or drier?

Hello all! I recently took a trip to Montreal where I had some really great ice cider and want to make some of my own. I've made regular cider several times and have a good recipe/process for that. Everything I've read about Ice Cider in the forums says to freeze the juice BEFORE...

I've had a Nitro setup for a few months now and have used it with two kegs of stout. The third keg I put on it is an English pub style ale. When this pub ale pours I get a full glass of foam that then settles into about a half glass of beer and a half glass of dense foam. This pic is after...

Has anyone here tried serving a hard slightly carbonated (~1.5 vol) hard cider through a stout faucet using nitrogen or beer gas mixture? I have a nitro setup and have been using it for stouts and the occasional English pub ale, was wondering how a creamy cider would be? Sent from my iPad...

Well after getting no replies :drunk: I went ahead and bought 2 of these: http://www.midwestsupplies.com/threaded-shutoff-valve.html Mostly because I was ordering some other stuff from MWS, hopefully they aren't garbage quality (the reviews with several different end attachments were all pretty...

I've had a run of shutoff valves that used to be ok but now leak gas (if you touch them you can hear gas venting). I'm looking to replace them and would rather spend a few extra bucks to get quality replacements that won't leak then cheaper ones that might. I've killed 3 tanks of CO2 in the...

yeah, I was sort of thinking that. Thanks for confirming!

If you have a shut off valve that also has a check valve in it does it only allow gas to flow in one direction? My gas distributor has a barb on the end and I want to replace it with a MFL connection. I bought one of these: http://www.midwestsupplies.com/threaded-shutoff-valve.html I intend...

Has anyone had the Newcastle Cabbie Black Ale? It's a 4.2% mild that has a ton of flavor (and according to one website 25 IBU). I'd love to clone it but I can't find much info on the ingredients used. I'm guessing similar to Newcastle Brown but with a bit of black patent or roasted barley to...

huh, that add-on is actually kind of cool and let's me keep using my existing regulator that I like. Decisions decisions...

Thanks zachattack!

My CO2 regulator had a neoprene washer that sits between the regulator and the cylinder to ensure a tight seal. I just got a Nitrogen regulator and cylinder (for mixed beer gas), does it also need a washer? It didn't come with one and I can't find one for sale. I'm guessing not?

Thanks! 3 seconds is better that -$50!

Yeah, the Micromatic ones do have knobs and manual pressure release, but are 50% more expensive!

I have a single body regulator that feeds 3 kegs through a distributor and that regulator has a pressure release valve. It's primary function is for safety automatically opening at 60 psi to avoid an explosion. However I use it a lot when adjusting the set pressure. For instance if I set the...
