Hi guys, This is a first for me. I have 4 cornies. All usually work fine except for one... Heres the deal. During the kegs first use it poured fine for the first 1/4 or so of the keg. All of a sudden.. Nuthing but foam. Ok, so I checked the line and co2 bubbles were forming in the...

Hey guys, I just started using a counterflow chiller via gravity and am happy with the chilling effeciency. However, since I am not using a pump it takes some time for the wort to get through the chiller and down into the bucket ( I use the bucket to pour in to the fermentor to aerate it...
