Anybody make an adapter to allow pushing a portable keg with a soda stream and standard regulator? I have a paintball tank and adapter but I like the availability of soda stream cylinders.

I tried using the adapter to hook up a paintball canister to regulator this weekend and didn't have good results. I buggered the o-ring on the canister by screwing the canister on too tight. That shouldn't be a problem but what has happened is a perfectly round little hole (it looks like it...

I had a 10lb nitrogen bottle filled today for the first time with beer gas. It was done at a shop that supplies beer gas to a number of venders. When I picked it up today, it seemed a bit light. I got it home today and weighed it an it is 2.2 lbs over tare weight. WTF? Is that right? PSI...

I can't seem to find the Danby Model DAR440BK that people have been using for a kegerator build. I can get this one at the local Walmart...

I was just the beneficiary of 6 pinlock kegs from an acquaintance that owns a restaurant and who wanted to get rid of them because he no longer uses them. Anyway the kegs I have used up to this point have been ball lock so I have a couple of questions. Firstly, if I wanted to convert over to...

So I ordered a nitrogen setup from Kegworks but I'm not sure if I can get 75% N/ 25% CO2 beergas. If I carbed with CO2 and then pushed with pure Nitrogen would that work well for my English Ales and Stouts?

Does anybody know where to get Beergas in Edmonton? I have a 10lb Guinness tank coming from Kegworks and need to have some place to fill it.

Double post sorry

I ordered a stout faucet from Adventures in Homebrewing wanting to add nitrogen,(or rather beergas), to my setup. As far as the tank and regulator are concerned, can I use a CO2 tank with adapter for the nitrogen reg or do I need a nitrogen tank and nitrogen reg?

I just kegged a 15 gal batch of this recipe. On brewday I hit the numbers pretty much dead on and the beer finished where it should have. I must say that I was a little disappointed. I had previously brewed Biermuncher's Nierra Sevada Pale Ale and I found this recipe very close in taste. Has...

Has anybody used a sodastream CO2 canister for pushing kegs? Their slender profile seems quite nice for a portable system and refills are easier to get in my area than paintball tanks. If so, does anybody know were to get an adapter for a regulator (assuming one is needed)?

Has anyone come out with a better picnic tap than the cheap plastic under $10 tap that can't hold any pressure? The concept is great but this thing sprays beer everywhere and is built like it came out of a Cracker Jack box. Does anyone make a stainless one? If no, why not?

I'm going to Vancouver Island this weekend and need a place to fill my CO2 tank. Does anybody have a good source they can point me toward? Thanks

So I'm planning on building a keezer and am wondering on what power source you use to run the DC voltage on the circulating computer fans which seem to be 12V most commonly? Also, I wanted to confirm that they should be wired so that the direction of flow is from the bottom of the keezer to the...

Ok, so it's been a little while since high school chemistry so I need a little help. I got a water profile from the town which had all of the necessary info to plug into Beersmith 2 except the HCO3-. What the report does include is two parameters which I think should allow me to calculate...

I want to haul a 3gal keg and 5lb CO2 tank portably. I saw the build in BYO mag recently and they used an Igloo 70qt Maxcold Icecube cooler. I can't seem to source that particular cooler in Canada. Does anybody have a suitable alternative to suggest or does anybody know who sells the Igloos...

I brewed a 15gal batch with a OG of 1.058 and put 11gal into my s/s conical and 4 gal into a glass carboy set up with a blowoff tube. The yeast I used was some Burton Ale yeast that had a best before date of Nov 28/11. I had 2 vials of the stuff and 2 days before I made two 1 quart starters...

I'm brewing a 12gal batch of ale using Whitelabs Burton Ale that is 2 months past it's best before date. I was going to use both vials and make a starter. My question is: Will I get more yeast cells if I make 2 separate 1 quart starters or should I make 1 half gal starter using both vials...

I thought I would try making my own recipe by tweeking Charley Papazian's Humpty Dumpty English Bitter. Can anybody give me there thoughts on how they think it will turn out? Batch: 11gal Efficiency: 80% OG: 1.055 FG: 1.012 Yeast: White Labs Burton Ale Yeast with starter. SRM: 12 ABV%...

......on my beer.:D How does one get a nice creamy white head that lasts? The head on my beer is a bit of a brownish off color (I've only brewed darker english ales so far) and usually I have to pour vigorously into the glass from the bottle to create a descent size one. Any tricks that...
