I didn't think these had a gravity dispenser? Assuming they don't, I would have to drill for a tap, which is more work and money. I also liked the idea of sitting this in an ice bath and a gravity tap wouldn't work like that. Thanks for all the suggestions! Keep it going.

Awesome thanks for the find! So the consensus is either use a party star tap or don't use a mini keg at all? I'm looking for something that is a happy medium between growlers and a 5 gallon corny for taking to parties (CHEAPLY). I thought maybe if this was cheap, it would just be the $10...

Killed as in broke it? Is it fragile enough that I should forget my search?

No one has any ideas?

That is probably $400 worth of stuff. VERY nice find.

It's supposedly for a 1.3 gallon mini keg. Found pictures but can't find any info on it or where to buy it. Anyone have any ideas?

Everyone keeps saying they used apple juice and it doesn't come out well. Has anyone started with cider and tried this?

Hmmm seems like a waste of time based on those results. Though it's not my situation exactly since I'm starting with cider and he started with juice. I think I'll try for the heck of it anyway. Interesting link!

Picked up some local cider and its SG is 1.07. If I toss some bread yeast in a gallon for the heck of it how can I expect it to come out? How long should I wait to do gravity readings to check if done fermenting? Never used bread yeast but I'm trying JOAM so thought it might be a logical...

So what proportion LME to water will get me close to my target SG for a starter?

So using 1/2 cup LME from my kit won't hurt my SG for my wort? EDIT: Just remembered (duh) I have priming sugar that was included with my kit. Could I use that as my starter?

I would estimate the temperature of the pack around 120-150 when I found it. It was HOT to the touch, not just warm. I only have access to brown sugar or table sugar until I make another online order. How would I make a starter with either of these?

So when I got home this evening I was planning on brewing so the first thing I did was take my smack pack out, smack it, and set it in a warm spot in the kitchen, on the stove... you can see where this is going. I come back into the kitchen about 30 minutes later and see the horror of my...

Why do you rinse with water after flushing with starsan? Isn't that defeating the purpose of it being no-rinse?

That is awesome... I'm jealous. Maybe some day I'll make it to one!

hmmm... The first ones are more traditional but quite a bit more expensive. Thanks for the links!

Need them to be at my door by next Friday. Anyone know of a good online retailer? NO LOGOS is a requirement.

Well it's been a couple months since I last visited this issue, and I'm still frustrated. After I found the first leak I thought everything was good, but turns out the CO2 is only lasting through about 1 keg. I'm assuming I still have a leak somewhere but I've done the soapy water test 3...
