I have a keg of honey blonde ale that seems overly sweet. Could this be balanced out or toned down a bit by dry hopping in the keg for a week or so? Thanks D

Thanks skewed Seemed like the best plan to me too but wanted to see if others agreed. D

The CO2 bottle appears to be aluminum and thus worth most of the price on its own. If all the pieces are in working condition, I would snap it up.

I have an ale in a keg that was primed with corn sugar, purged with CO2 then left to sit at 70F for 2 weeks. Regarding conditioning / aging / drinking / tasting: I can chill the keg to 45F and put it on CO2 then taste / drink or Leave the keg at 70F and put it on CO2 then serve through a...

In regards to (4% to 8%) ALES: I am not sure I like the 1-2-3 rule. I like the 20day - then make it up as I go rule. It seems to me that every ale I brew needs 14+ days to gravitate down to my liking then if its "clear-ish" I just rack to a keg and let it fester 'round 68F for a month. If...

Unless you want to read and try the "force carbonating" thread method https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/keg-force-carbing-methods-illustrated-73328/ ... just put 8 to 10 psi on them and let them set for a week. If the CO2 bottle is in the fridge, it may show improper bottle pressure...

The best solution is to talk with the gas supplier you plan to use. They will know what gases they can put into what cylinders. You will have to use a regulator with a proprietary CGA fitting and unless you want to swap the inlet fitting, you need both bottles to have the same fitting...

You will want to buy a aftermarket thermostat (t-stat) that has a range including your temp. You can get them pre-wired or you can "insert" it in the fridge's power cord if that is a skill set you have. Just google the forum for thermostat or t-stat or locate one at your homebrew store or...

Hi Well by the time you search for a cheap regulator, locate adapters (if needed) and add in shipping... you may end up with a decent regulator. Might just be worth checking at your local gas supply or welder supply and asking for a discount on a combo ( regulator & tank ). You may also...

Thanks, I will wait until my ingredient shipment arrives this week and go from that. D
