Just tapped my last brew this past weekend. I call it Strider IPA designed similar to Voodoo Ranger. Lots of Mosac, Citra, Centennial in dry hop. Great beer
Usually between 2 - 5 kegs, but I also use the CO2 to purge kegs of stars and to fill kegs using a spunding valve. As well as to keep fermentor at 10psi during fermentation if needed, like after dry hopping.
It would be nice , in my closed garage, to monitor CO2 levels when I open the kegerator, purge kegs, release CO2 from the 1/2 bbl Spike uniting and compare to a background level. CO Carbon Monoxide I'm not too worried about as I'm all electric. Looks like a great product.
I agree. I just ordered some flat/square rings from
Grainger Hopefully they will work better.
O-Ring: 109, 5/16 in Nominal Inside Dia., 1/2 in Nominal Outside Dia., 75 Shore A, Black, Std, 25 PK
Item 713T15
Mfr. Model ZUSAVSQ70109
I completely switched my 5 kegs to universal a few years ago. Since then all I get out of my taps is foam. I changed all the o rings and still I get foam. I don't over carbonate as it is usually around 11.7psi. I don't get foam from commercial kegs only kegs with universal poppets. So I am...
I just bought some Gambrinus Honey Malt to use in place of the Munich/Vienna. Will add it at the 12% of grist. All the rest the same except for hops where I use Chinook, Amarillo, Cascade, Citra, Mosaic mix. Any one try this Honey malt this way?
Very similar to a pale ale I brew on a regular basis. Only difference is I use Munich at 10% and Pale Ale at 10%. I also limit any Crystal to less than 3%. My IBU's are around 58. Good balance and flavor. Next time I will up Munich to 15%. ABV stays in the 5.5 range. I also hop with Simco...
We brewed what we called a "Old style with a Twist". Turned out excellent, but did not take any photos. It was very clear and disappeared very fast. Probably my best brew to date as we are rebreeding it soon.
I have a Spike CF15 1/2 Bbl Unitank. I put the short leg extensions and caster wheels to raise it up enough so I could easily clean it in place with a CIP spray ball hooked to a 1/6 hp submersible pump. With the added height I can flow the run off straight into a 5 gal bucket with the pump and...
