Well, kegged it up today, it had an off taste but some of that may have been in my head. There was a couple dozen floating on top and I really couldn’t tell how many were in the trub on the bottom. I’ll just try to drink it up ASAP. Thanks for the tips, I think that’s the last time I use that...

Well I wanted a larger fermentor, had read a lot of posts saying no problem with loose lid buckets. Tried it the first time almost a year ago, had to leave town, when I got back it was a fruit fly frenzy. Did some more reading, thought to myself if I put out a few apple cider vinegar traps it...

Just very sad to announce this,but I think I’ve learnt my lesson.i should’ve never went with a loose lid bucket, and just stuck with my other Carboys and air locks. Only my second attempt with this bucket, this time I thought apple cider vinegar would possibly keep them from getting to my beer...

Whenever the pressure is above serving pressure (10-12psi) it'll do that, if u force carb u have to relieve the pressure before pouring otherwise it'll foam Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Had similar happen to me, not to that extent though. I didn't have any vinegar in the house, just ended up filling with hot water, the next day was good to go again Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I always get good pours. Be careful with leaving your co2 at a low psi you will lose carbonation, unless if you like low carb.

Otherwise put the soap water mix in a cup mix it up with a paint brush and put the suds on every potential leak, it will show up

With store bought kegs, I find I have to release the pressure in the keg with the pressure relief and then add pressure to it. Then it pours nicely

That's funny last sept, my wife picked me up the Costco Danby just so I wouldn't have beer bottles filling a room. I thought it was an excellent deal for me. Now u will start to learn quite quickly that 2 kegs is no where near enough! I now have 7 and I am always watching for more

Any chance at that low of a temp u r causing your lines to start to frost up or even starting to freeze the bottom of your keg?

Did u soap test everything? Remember to froth it up and use the foam u will find the leak no matter how small

So far in pg I've only been able to get fills at welding gas shops (praxair) but you may need to use a business name and pay cash. And remember it is not for human consumption when they ask, they can't legally fill if u say it is. Also it is not all that cheap $45 for a 5#. Hope that helps

I was just cleaning to keg just my second batch by keg. I've always taken apart and cleaned and sanitized absolutely everything while I was bottling but I'm curious, does everyone also break corny's right down, or is it to much of a concern that an o ring will become damaged when you are about...

Pipe thread compound and Teflon is both for lubricating threads, sealing is always in the threads, not in the Teflon or pipe dope. When u soap tested, did u foam the soapy water mix up into bubbles and apply just the bubbles to all joints? That works the best for finding leaks- not the soapy...

Where I am in Canada, it cost me a little over $40 for a 5# refill. But it cost pretty the same for a 20# refill.

And it is true, as they said in their post they had issued a response, an apology and made things better before they had noticed this thread. Just how any good business should...

Yes I agree, I didn't want to even include their name at all, as long as things we're made better. As I said in the previous post, I sure wouldn't hesitate to use them again they showed class with how they dealt with an honest mistake.

Well I just got home from work and looks like everyone knows how things made out. I did have confidence in Ontario beer kegs, and still do, which is why I gave them my business and gave them an opportunity to look into things and respond. I do understand mistakes happen in everything, its all...

Well I have gotten word that they will send me a new tracking id tomorrow. So my guess is that they are sending me 2 replacements. They have told me that any kegs that they have in that kind of shape are to be striped down and scraped so that no one can cause themselves harm.

Well I agree, it would've been nice to know that they had been worked on. And it should've been buffed out and cleaned up on the inside. I don't know how anyone could.I can only get my arm a little into a corny and im a pretty thin guy. The pictures don't even make it look as bad as they r. They...
