Hey folks, I am going to try and explain this the best I can. I lost a whole 20 lb tank of co2 due to a leak in my gas system. I have 4 duo tight inline regulators (white plastic). The way I problem solved this was first to hook up my backup tank and do the soapy water trick. Didn't see any...

I’m hoping to find a solution. I build a kegerator using all duotight fittings and the white duotight regulators. All the grey duotight fittings have disintegrated over the course of a year as shown in the images. Only the fittings that were inside the fridge have deteriorated meaning it’s...

Maybe this question exists somewhere in this ocean of brew knowledge but I can’t find it: When calculating co2 volumes for priming sugar, is that for the temperature that it will be conditioning at? For instance if I want 2.3 volumes of co2 and I figure that the bottles will be in a 70 degree...

This beer is really speaking to me and I want to try it. It’s a Dopplebock. Has anyone here tried it? Thoughts?

Anyone use Evabarrier 4mm line for soda? I am not looking for exact lengths. I’m just curious if anyone has a similar setup. I have a 39ft roll and am unsure how to calculate the Eva barrier lines vs the standard beer lines for balancing. I have a keg carbing at 32psi right now. Not sure if...

I have my main setup which is a taprite on a 20lb tank but I also have a small 5lb backup tank I’d like to be able to use for pressure transfers and maybe on a rare occasion to use for gatherings. I know they have those mini regulators but for the same price (and in some cases cheaper) I could...

If aliens came down and could only communicate by the smell and taste of beer, which beer would you use to explain and describe Christmas? I have tried tons of Christmas beers and nothing describes Christmas more, to me, than Chimay Grande Reserve or St Bernardus Christmas Ale. Nothing comes...

Has anyone tried to pressure ferment D-47? I’m most interested in this yeast under pressure but any experience with pressure fermenting a mead I’d love to hear about.

I have noticed that every time I carb my keg, I will set my pressure to say 12 psi for set and forget. Ill hear the tank and see the gauge rise to 12 psi. I’ll go back the next day and the gauge will read 9 psi or something less than what I set it. So I would always just turn the knob and set...

I called up a local gas supply place and they will sell a 20lb co2 tank for $140. It would then cost about $25 to refill. All their tanks are used, though. They did say all their co2 tanks are for beverage use. The LHBS has 5lb tanks brand new and filled for $100. The gas place will refill the...

I made two one gallon batches. Didn’t go out of my way for special honey. First batch was aunt sues raw and unfiltered that was at the grocery store, the second was kirkland southeast raw and unfiltered from Costco. Both batches were made with honey, straight RO water, d47 yeast, and nutrient...

Anyone else use this thing with success? I have a ball lock gas fitting on my brew bucket lid and set the blowtie to 2 psi. This should have been the first red flag because when I pressurized the brew bucket to 2 psi using the co2 tank and regulator, I switched to the blowtie and it didn’t even...

So I have a fridge I’ve been using for my kegs in the basement. So far, the kegs have just been in the fridge with one picnic tap between them. The most I have had, so far, is two kegs at a time in the fridge. I got wife approval to convert it to a kegerator. It’s a side by side fridge with the...

(Is there not an entire liquor section in this forum?) I’ve always been a whiskey guy. Particularly scotch and bourbon. Not sure why but I just felt compelled to buy this Remy Martin 1738. Never delved into brandy or cognac but man…what have I been missing all this time??? It has an extreme...

I have been finding it difficult to understand and enjoy beers much higher than 8% abv. 10-11% if it is a stout and it is done perfectly. I have a friend that won’t even consider beers that are less than 10%. In most cases, IMO, the alcohol takes over and ruins the beer when it gets much higher...

I understand most people don’t have both of these ph meters to compare but I am curious what your experiences have been with one or the other. Mw102 is on sale right now at morebeer for $109 but is still $30 more than the PH60 is on Amazon. They both have replaceable probes, which is a must for...
