The guys description of the regulators does not make much sense "2 guage regulator grey@ 100psi, red regulator@ 160psi". My tanks usually read about 800 psi until almost gone so you'd certainly need...

Keep an eye on the 1st stage gauge. Mine do not seem to be linear. Mine tend to stay high like 600-800psi for most of the tank and then drop over the course of a couple kegs to zero. So, when you...

I use a heating pad to keep my fermentation fridge warm. It has provided enough heat for my full size fridge in a garage that gets down into the low-mid 40's. Just make sure you get the older style...

Some people even shorten the pick-up tube so they pick up less sediment from the bottom of the keg. I leave mine full length. Once the keg goes into the fridge I don't touch it. With a new keg...

So simple. Thanks.

I've been fishing around with a sanitized surgical tool. It's a bit like an adult game of Operation.
