Hi, I have read some threads that some of you use the allinonewinepump. I recently purchased the pump for my wine making and wondered if any of you have used the pump to fill beer bottles from a carbonated keg. If so do you have any tips as I want to fill some bottles with the kegged beer as...

Hi all, I brewed an ESB and a porter in time Christmas 2012. I kegged both batches and both beers turned out great. Over the next 2 months I drank 1/2 of each. Then due to some medication I was taking for several months I was advised not to drink alcohol. Unfortunately my 5lb CO2 ran out of CO2...

I brewed my first partial mash 6 weeks ago and it was a Porter, with an OG = 1.052 and FG = 1.015 Ingredients 0.75 Ib. (0.34 kg) Halcyon pale malt 1.5 Ib. (0.68 kg) brown malt 1.0 Ib. (0.45 kg) English crystal malt (75 °L) 0.75 Ib. (0.34 kg) chocolate malt 1.0 Ib. (0.45 kg) Muntons...

I started kegging 6 months ago and purchased 2 used kegs and a new CO2 bottle and regulator. After reading some of the forum postings, I assumed I should be able to carbonate and serve about a dozen kegs per 5lb refill. I use the Carbonation table for carbonation settings, but only get between 2...

I have been extract brewing for about 18 months now and all of my brews have been ales, as that is what I prefer and I am happy to say that I have enjoyed all of them, especially now that I keg them. When I was living in London ( some 30 years ago) my favorite London beer was Fullers ESB. What I...

I’m still new to kegging and have looked at many of the carbonation threads on HBT, including the Carbonation pressure chart http://www.kegerators.com/articles/carbonation-table-pressure-chart.php and the Carbonation chart from Bobby M...

I decided to try another attempt at harvesting yeast to use as a starter in my next brew. I followed the steps discussed many times on this board, and after washing the yeast and storing in the fridge overnight I looked at the jar this morning and noticed that there were 4 different layers in...

I recently made a copper immersion wort chiller out of a 25 ft roll of 3/8 copper tubing. It works great, cooling my wort from boiling to under 80 deg in less than 15 minutes. I have used it 3 times, so I now have a question and an observation. Does it matter if the water enters in from the...

I know harvested yeast deteriorates quickly after approximately 2 weeks or so if not used or just kept in the fridge. Does anyone know how long harvested yeast will keep in a vacuum sealed bag? My thoughts are to harvest the yeast, and then immediately seal it using a foodsaver vacuum sealer...

I was up at the crack of dawn this morning (figuratively speaking), ran downstairs, excited like a little kid on his birthday to inspect his gift. But I was disappointed. I harvested some yeast for the first time 2 weeks ago and collected about 2 4oz mason jars of it. I refrigerated the...

I have read many threads and watched several videos on bottling from a keg without using a beer gun. My first time bottling from a Corny keg was last month with an American Wheat which turned out successful and the beer tastes great with the right amount of carbonation for me. I wanted to...

I prefer drinking ales at so called cellar temperatures, between 50 and 55 deg. My ale keg is currently in my basement which is at 65 -68 deg. I have a fridge in the basement that I use for chilled beer and that is about 38 deg. So my problem is how can I keep my ale keg at cellar temperature...

HI everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself as I am a new member. I have been brewing about 18 months or so now and prefer ales to most other kinds of beers. I guess that comes from drinking Fullers, Youngs¸ Boddingtons and other UK brews many years ago. I want to hopefully move on from...

Hi everyone, I have looked at the many posts on too much carbonation in kegged beers but have not seen a question that I have. I have been brewing for a year or so and have been bottling my brew. I decided to start kegging instead, and kegged my first bear last month, with great success. I...
