    Massachusetts CO2 tanks and corney kegs

    Good deal for CO2....but why does the thread title say Corny Kegs? Clicked through to the CL ad and see no mention of Cornys? Do you know that the seller also has them as well?

    Scotch Ale Brewing Question

    Would agree with kev on the general flow, but I am thinking that the kit is looking for you to take some of the wort at the beginning of the boil and caramelize it to add some extra malty depth to the brew....Now, I've never done this myself (and I've never attempted Scottish beers), but I can...

    What's good to use outside of Fall?

    Somewhat new to the cidermaking side of the house with only 3 batches under my belt. Wondering what folks use to make good sparkling cider outside of the fall season when the cideries are all pressing? I found one regional cider (Zieglers) that is sold year round and that brought me good...

    Offseason Cider around Hartford?

    Hi all, Anyone have any suggestions on where to buy off-season cider in the Hartford area? For a short while, I stumbled upon Zeigler Cider being sold at PriceRites for $5 / gallon which made a very tasty hard cider. Of course, the parent company, ShopRite, has decided to start selling a...

    What's wrong with my system? (Co2 lines)

    Update for those scoring at home…submerge test showed a number of leaks on one of my lines. Actually showed a leak on the check valve itself which is something I didn’t think to check before. Unscrewed the lever, added some plumbers tape, and reattached more tightly…No more...

    Connecticut Bottling / Kegging Supplies

    Red Sox tap has sold. The rest is still available. Make a counter-offer...may take you up on it...esp if we can make the sale as painless as possible.

    What's wrong with my system? (Co2 lines)

    This is very new regulator from what I know about it...Came with Kegerator purchased a 2-3 years back. That said, it could be faulty and may need to check... Hoping I don't need to take apart regulator though...hoping it's something more obvious that the submerge tests will show...

    What's wrong with my system? (Co2 lines)

    I want to thank everyone. Not only for the tips to look for, but sharing the war stories as well. As with most things homebrew / beer related, the info out there is cryptic, conflicting, and made to seem easier than it ends up being. Even the manual that came with the Haier kegerator...

    What's wrong with my system? (Co2 lines)

    Good call there...That was where I thought the leak was after soaping the connections the 2nd time around...some teflon tape in general may help the connectors seal up in general... Unfortunately, I won't be able to get to the gas place until tomorrow at lunch...so I need to wait until...

    What's wrong with my system? (Co2 lines)

    I'm already thinking of ways to submerge the whole damn corny into a garbage can of water...Good idea to check the connectors with pressure / flex on the lines as well...I have a barb to thread connector, and then I thread on the grey ball lock...Talked into this setup by LHBS guy who said it...

    What's wrong with my system? (Co2 lines)

    Trust me...I had my ear everywhere and lines are long enough for everything to be outside the cooler...I've heard the hissing sound and thought I corrected for it...I like the dunking in water idea though...can't fool water...

    What's wrong with my system? (Co2 lines)

    I can probably dunk the whole line in...but would be surprised if there was a pinhole leak in the actual line....just bought new and line is fairly thick...Oh...if it ends up being that line, I will be pissed at my LHBS guy...

    What's wrong with my system? (Co2 lines)

    That is a great idea though on submerging in water...I can't get the whole system in obviously...but I can dunk the manifold into a bucket of water and see if any bubbles come....same for the ball lock disconnects...
