Am I to assume the same goes for something in secondary as well as primary if it sits? At least for future experiments.

I usually age my beer in the keg, but I was wondering if I could age it in my fermenter? If I do it in my fermenter, what is the max time I could leave it in there? I am going to be gone for 6 weeks, but don't want my beer to go bad if I leave it in the fermenter for that long. I appreciate any...

Thanks for the help. Beginning to think that may be the best option.

I am too looking for an update. Target has it on sale for $100, but not too sure if I should by this or build the ferm cabinet out of insulation. Would like to lager some day, but not sure which way to go currently.

I bought Starsan on the recommendation of several people on here. When I read the directions, it says to let the keg dry after using it. Do I need to do that or is it ok to dump it and keg my beer right after? I appreciate the help.

I am not filtering my water. However, I have not had a problem with this in the pass. I am unclear as to why this one batch decided to go this route. It smelled and tasted fine prior to me putting it in the keg. That is why I thought it was a sanitation issue. The kegs I received where shipped...

I do not have a gauge to tell me the pressure in the keg. Where could I get something like that. I just know what psi I have going through the regulator.

The off flavor is like a plastic taste. Had a friend try and it and it was really bad. It has been getting progressively stronger. He said it was god awful. I used the Iodophor per the directions, but I must have not got everything since I turned bad pretty quickly.

I am aware of the method to force carbing and I may go ahead and do so since the beer has been aged. I did santize the kegs with Iodophur so that may be the problem. I will pick up some Star San prior to kegging my next batch. I appreciate the help. Does it sound like I have the leak taken care...

Alright, so I have now ruined to complete batches of beer and looking for some help before I ruin a third. I posted several weeks ago that my kegs weren't carbing. Well, I left town and just got back to work on my problems. Here is what I did. I pulled the CO2 lines off the kegs and put them in...

Well, I think I got the leak isolated to the pressure relief valve. Not too sure on how to fix that one. I just replaced the lid with the one from another keg. Will see how that works. Not sure how to explain the smell. If anyone else has any solutions, I am all ears.

I did not soak the O-ring. I have not seen any signs of leaking anywhere at the connections. How much keg lube should I put on the thing?

Merry Christmas all. Just got my keezer built and have put two kegs worth of beer in it. However I have been checking out the temp of the interior to ensure it is what I wanted. Well, I smelt what I thought was the sealant drying. Not so much. I am all but certain it is CO2. Well, I think I...

My collar is one inch thick with no insulation. Granted I just got it running three days ago, but I have yet to find a problem.

Thanks everyone. I have a good carb chart already. I plan on brewing a variety of beers, so I will stay with the 10 feet until I settle down and find the style I personally prefer.

Well, I think I have everything all set for my keezer. I have the collar attached, the secondary pressure gauge mounted, and shanks and taps installed. I got the temperature controller mounted and I am allowing the weather seal caulk to dry before flipping the on switch. I have measured out my...

That is exactly the problem.

Well, if I mount the regulator lower, it will require me to put screws iin the freezer which is what I do not want to do.

Everyone on here has been super helpful with my keezer build, but I could use a little more help. I have my collar built with my shanks and perlicks installed. Now I need to attach the collar to my freezer and I was wondering what everyone used. i have liquid nails, but it seemed to take...

Fortunately I have some aging time to go. It is a honey blonde that I brewed. I am going to natural carb it in the keg. I figure on drinking it in about three weeks time. As far as sulfur, it is not that smell. I am pretty familiar with that smell and that is not what I am smelling. Thanks for...
