I’m not certain about needing a Nitrogen tank. The local party stores rent beer gas tanks that are mixed gas so I assume you could do it into a CO2 tank. You can get an adapter to run a nitrogen tank to a co2 reg. The regs all appear to be identical (i.e., no real difference between, nitrogen...

Dotman, I could be wrong but if you are already setup for CO2 with a reg all you would have to do is get the gas shop to blend a tank for you and just use one tank and the same equipment probably not much more than the $20 for the charger but it would probably have to be a welding shop. I...

1st Home Brew, I’d give it a passing grade style preference more than quality. Brewers Best American Amber Ale, 3 weeks in Primary and 11days in the bottle (probably still green). I tried everything I could to kill this batch and its still drinkable. Chilled the wort too much, didn’t aerate...

whenindoubtpilsout; Take your pick, half gallon milk jugs, 2l soda bottles, 20oz soda bottles, 16.9oz water bottles or commercial igloo hard gel packs. Whatever you can easily freeze and rotate. The gallon jugs will just take longer to melt than the smaller bottles.

Rrittenhouse After 11 years (15 if you count dating) its when they don’t heckle you that you should worry. Heckling is just good natured ribbing it keeps us humble, to this day still catch “grief” for little mistakes I made when we first met. If she drinks, you’re luckier than I am because...
