These are both pepsi, but they are challenger VI kegs instead of cornelius. Maybe that's the difference? They both seem to work all right, but the posts and poppets are a pain... the dip tubes stick inside the posts and the poppets are all different kinds. Ugh. I wonder if I can buy regular...

I just 2 new kegs today and they have blue tops! not black like usual. Weird, eh?

I have been putting my beer into 5 gal corny kegs and then force carbonating it. After that, I use my beer gun to put some in 2 liter soda bottles with a carbonator cap and use that for transportation to friends' houses and stuff. Kind of expensive (kegs, beer gun, caps, co2...), but it...

I was going to build something like this, but I couldnt find a good temp sensor. What I really wanted was a box that could transmit wirelessly (bluetooth or whatever) with like 2 ft of temp a temp sensor that I could dangle into the wort and then set up a graph on my computer using cacti or...

I want to join in on the Jersey fun. I am living in Stanhope now. Right off rt 80, exit 27b

Or, just dont jam it in so far. I put mine like half way in and have never had a problem grabbing he lip and pulling it out.

huh? They are in a scrap yard... go get them

Warmer? No.... colder is always better

How does this recipe turn out with different yeast? Like ale or wine yeast?

It's gonna be hard to get it up that high... Even that super high gravity yeast wont really handle it well. You want to get the OG up to like 1.100 or something like that and add a mix of a few different yeasts... champagne yeast, wlp099, wlp001 also... Then as the fermentation progresses you...

I dont know. I have had the hardest time with amstel light bottles. They have the same plastic labels... I can usually peel off most of the label, but the adhesive is left behind, and as much as I soak it in my 150 degree tap water, it doesnt come off.

Nah, it's fine. Just use the sanitizer drain it. Should be fine after that. FWIW, I usually rinse no rise sanitizer anyway and I have never had a problem with infections *knocks on wood*

Where exactly can I find the all grain recipe for this? *edit = Found it. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=5362&page=4

Could always do what they do to eisbock... chill the beer to the point where the water freezes and the alcohol doesnt, and then remove the ice. That concentrates the alcohol.

Is there any problem using a ball valve labeled for gas and not water on my mash tun? I could only find valves the right size that were labeled 'gas' and after putting it together it seems to work just fine.

Is it bad to do a smaller batch in a larger pot? Like 5 gallons in a 60 quart pot?

I have been using a 20 quart enamel pot. So I have been unable to do a boil of the full volume. I am looking to upgrade to a pot that can do the full volume. Would you recommend going the whole 9 yards and getting like a 60 quart pot so that I might be able to do 10 gallon batches in the...

I did my first all grain today. I ended up doing an oatmeal stout. Did a batch sparge in my 5 gallon igloo max cold mash tun. Got about 68% efficiency... not that bad for my first attempt I guess. Now I am just waiting for it to start fermenting. Cant wait to taste it. I also used whole...
