    Is Oxyclean a good Sanitizer?

    If i think about it ( am i'm half in the bag right now) i have a YSI probe at work. Again, if I think about it.....I'll mix up at batch of what the local HBS has (oxy-san) which they claim is a sanitizer. One tablespoon for one gallon of water. I'll ORP it and see what the meter shows, and...

    Sanyo 4912 with a Freezer -- Is it tall enough?

    it's to bad you couldn't measure it, because i have a danby with a freezer section, (I realize were talking about a sanyo) and with pin-lock kegs (which are shorter) fit without a problem. Just a thought. IGOR

    Priming with corn sugar and DME?

    Priming with corn sugar and DME?

    I still thing half the point of kegging is so you do not have to add sugar for priming. It's all done by the CO2 gas. So why add the DME or the sugar to the mix? IGOR

    Still good to drink

    Ok....So if you've read my signature, you know that the basement flooded back in June and they had to tear it apart and are still putting it back together....Very bad. Since then all of my brew equipment went into storage....Also very bad. I did keep one of the kegs around because I took...

    Any coolers that fit a 5g keg?

    I've used a coleman brand cooler, and put the keg on it's side. I do have pinlocks so it is a bit shorter.....Work really well...Once I remembered to put the gas in on the up side.....heheh...whoops.... IGOR

    Twist top bottles

    I used twist-offs in the past before I got a large supply of guienuss (spelling) built up and then kegs. Anyway, I brews either two or three batch with twist offs and a bench capper and usually had one or two from each batch that wouldn't seal....Majority were OK!! So IMO ....Twist offs...

    What do you Think??

    From my knowledge (limited at that)....It's for "brew on Premises". We have a couple of spots in town where you buy the kits and pay the store to do all the hard work for you. All you have to do is dump the yeast and bottle, and only because that's the law. I guess it's not disturbing, but...

    What do you Think??

    Nevermind. After further investigation the kit came with two instruction sets. I just assumed they were copies and never really looked at the second on until now. The first instructions were for BOP/U-Brew, and the second set is for homebrew. I find that wierd and disturbing!!!!

    What do you Think??

    Well...Yes I would agree with that....except it's the Festa Brew Instructions that mention the filtering. I can us my Father-in-laws filter (he makes wine), but I unsure If I really want to do this. It seems like a way to add O2 to the beer.

    What do you Think??

    I was out of town over the last couple of days and on my way back home I stopped into a LHBS to see if there selection differed from my home town. The Selection wasn't too different but a Kit was on Sale ....WOOHOO!! Anyway, the Kit I purchased is a Festa Brew Red Ale. Basically it is a 23...

    firestone Keg sockets

    I'm not sure that type of wrench would fit on a pin-lock connector, but hell, what do I know...HEHEH. It would definetly work on a ball-lock. I forgot to check last night, but I'll be sure to check tonight and post the pics. IGOR

    Keg in garage a problem

    I my experience when you tip a fridge or freezer....the compressor oil will drain away....at this point you should let the fridge sit for a couple of hours and let things settle. Things should be find after!! I hope!! My father-in-law worked as a tech for Sears for about 30 years and he...

    firestone Keg sockets

    You must have a slightly different Pin lock post than I do....All five of mine fit perfectly with the 6 sided socket. If your are stars than you are looking for a torques (spelling) socket. The only place I've seen them around here are at an auto shop.....napa, carquest etc.... Can you...
