My question is, if it is Brett, how will it affect the taste of my IPA. I still need to dry hop. Should i transfer from under the Bret to another carboy before dry hopping?

My turn...been brewing over 2 years, this is my first possible infection. Name it?

I use Brewpal. its pretty awesome, but wish it had updates for yeasts and hops.

Just wanted to say, i ordered 6 of these for my 2 kegs, put 2 in each keg, just ordered 6 for "just in case". Just put them in and pulled a pint...absolutely perfect. It is slow, but man what a difference, i was getting 1/2 a pint of foam because of short 5' lines on my kegconnection setup...

Just soak them in a sink with hot water for an hour or so, then take a scotchbrite pad or steel wool style dish scrubber to take the glue off. I never use oxyclean, plain water works fine for me.

I was mistaken...it was Simcoe hops instead of KG. Used 9# of Pale DME, 1# Crystal 60, 1oz Simcoe @ 60, 1oz Citra @ 15, 5, 0. We'll see how it turns out. Came in at 56IBU & 1.062.

I was wondering if it would be too sweet with 2lbs of 60L. With that 2# and 9# of Pale LME, Brewpal is showing 1.071 and with all 4oz of hops (60, 45, 15, 5) it is showing 43IBU. I like my IPA's pretty aromatic and not overly bitter, so maybe i should do 60, 15, 5, flameout? Ditch the KG and...

9# Pale Malt 2# Crystal 60L 1oz Kent Golding Hops 3oz Citra Hops Wyeast American Ale II Going for an IPA, what kind of hops schedule would you recommend? Anybody? Plan on brewing it this afternoon.

I think a 5lb tank will last about 20 kegs.

I recommend Kegconnection also. Good stuff and great customer service.

No. I'd suggest reading through the thread if you havent. Once you get in there and get the foam out, you'll see. Remember the rule of thumb...measure twice, cut (or drill) once. You have to be careful because some of the holes you drill will come really close to the lines, but you can watch...

I ran mine all the way down through the inside of the fridge.

If someone is getting real close to pulling the trigger on one of these at Lowes, i have a 10% off coupon. It expires in 2 weeks, so you'd have to act fast.

I dont think you could fit a 5 gallon keg in these, if you are talking about like a pony keg.

I just add mine when i add the extract.

Yeah, the first thing i did was make labels and mark the keg so i never confused it. So you think i should loosen the clamps a little?

Well, they arent so tight that it is cutting into the line

Just kegged my first 2 beers a few days ago. Set it at 30psi for 48 hours. Checked both kegs a few mins ago, purged and set the kegs to 10psi. Noticed one was leaking around the purge valve. Greased it up with keg lube and it seemed to stop. THe other one though, it is foaming real bad, and...

I've only done 4 brews so far, but every time i drop the hops, the fight is on to keep the foam down. I pretty much feather the propane regulator and blow, and have to do this for around 10 minutes until it calms down. I thought that was normal.

I love this one as well and would be interested. I've read that they use Simcoe hops, but would like a full recipe
