I have one more question. Is it possible to have the handles turned at an angle (so they don't face straight forward), or does that make them fit loose? The reason I ask is spacing. Right now I...

I ran Oxy, then clean water, then StarSan - let that sit in the lines for a while then cleared the lines with CO2. I thought I really rinsed the kegs well, but I've heard Oxy can be really hard to...

Other than racking to a keg rather than the bottling bucket, I haven't changed anything. I've never cold crashed or used gelatin - up to my last batch I hadn't even used Irish Moss because I was...

Hi,

I recently built a tower chiller for my kegerator and I'm wondering if most people run theirs all the time or only when they'll be drinking beer?

Blow off tube question

Hi,

I'm using a blow off tube for the first time, and I'm glad I am because the yeast was very active the first couple of days. I have the blow off tube in a gallon jar, half full of Star San. ...
