I have the chance to get a Jager Machine pretty cheap. Right now I dispense seltzer from a carbonator through a 5 gallon keg in the fridge for limitless seltzer. Anyone think I could rig a jager machine to use the cold plate/chiller as a chiller for my seltzer? Or does it not have enough...

So.... I tried making some cider. I mixed 4 gallons with yeast... fermented it... added camden tablets and potassium sorbate. Stuck it into a keg under pressure... I'm not sure what happened. It seems to sweet and not fermented enough yet.... the question is... is this fixable? Can I take...

Anyone ever constructed one? I was looking to build one using a thermoelectric cooler. Basically I want to run my seltzer tap using it instead of using a keg in my fridge. Any experience with them?... should I build/buy?... any advice helpful. Thanks all.

Hey, So I have used custom built PLCs, but I have a spare PCEngines WRAP (Which has GPIO/I2C/EtC) handy and was curious if anyone has seen or used a PLC/PID/SCADA package for Linux? Specifically looking for something Open Source/Free? It has been a while since I was actually in the industry...

Anyone made one? I acquired a drum and am leaning towards building an electric one. I am trying to figure out what type of element to use. Trying to figure out the difference between a dryer heating element and an oven one.

Hey All, So my plan is to use 4 gallons of cider and ferment with S-04. The Brix of the Cider is 10.5 (it was colder, but my refractometer is ATC) or about S.G. of 1.041. If I wanted to get it up to 1.060 S.G. for my O.G. how much sugar should I add? I am planning to bring it up to 1.060...

Hey, Just found some great line to use for soda and higher pressure needs. It is McMaster #5238K618. It is 1/8" Braided... it adds a lot of resistance and can handle a lot of pressure. I used it with 3/16" barbs and it is working perfectly. I get a great pour using a 5' from my carbonator...

Hey All, Since I moved to upstate NY (a.k.a. apple country) I decided I wanted to do a cider this fall. I have talked to a local orchard and will be getting 6 gallons of unfiltered, but UV processed cider. My plan is to take 5 gallons of the cider and use brown sugar to get up to 1.060 if...

Hey, So I am using a keg as my reservoir for my carbonator. The spring loaded pressure relief valve is leaking which is a major problem since the gas in is seltzer and not gas. I was wondering what pressure they are supposed to open at? Also could I just take then thing and coat the spring...

Hey, I have a cracked keg that leaks from where the plastic meets the metal at the top. Obviously I am going to retire it from its beer/soda dispensing career, but the question is what "can" I do with it? Anyone have any good ideas?

Hey All, I added a McCann Big Mac Carbonator to my system. My wife drinks a lot of seltzer and it seemed like a fun project. I picked up the carbonator used and it was pretty cheap. I hooked it all up this morning. My setup is as follows... Water Line -> Carbon Filter -> Pressure...

Hey All, Just got home from vacation to find my 20# CO2 tank nearly empty. Turns out I had a leak... Somehow I managed to put a nylon washer between the FFL of the Ball Lock Disconnect and the MFL of the hose. As it turns out that causes a fairly large leak. Anyone have any good advice for...
