So I have froze a keg before but I let it thaw out and it was fine. This time I froze a keg of blonde ale and let it thaw and recarb but it now just tastes really watered down. I shook the keg and everything before I put it back in the fridge. Is it salvageable at all or do I have to dump...

So when I put my co2 in the fridge and set it at 10 psi outside my kegerator then it goes up to around 14 psi in the fridge after 24 hours. I understand the cold changes how the co2 works so do I need to adjust my psi after it has been in the fridge for a bit or is the regulator just reading it...

http://stores.kegconnection.com/Detail.bok?no=100 I am looking to go to a tailgate and don't want to bring my big c02 bottle with me. If I carbed my beer and brought this little guy you think it would work fine? Or does anyone else have a nice cheap solution for kegging on the run?

In beersmith it says the amount of water you need to mash in with but it says it in quarts. Is there a way to change it to gallons? This is when reading the brew sheet.

So I have a little kegerator I built that holds 2 cornies. I have a two faucet tower on it that is insulated and I run two coils of 10 foot line for each faucet. I just let the beer lines sit coiled up on top of each keg. I usually carb the kegs when they are around 45 degrees and I do the...

So I made a blonde ale with about 20 pounds of grains. (10gal batch) I have to double batch sparge because my tun is too small but my gravity after boiling should be 1.048 based off beersmith. I ended up with 1.053-1.054. How is that possible? Does beersmith list somewhere what the gravity...

So I saw this picture and ordered the ranco for it. When it showed up it was not wired with the surge protector so I have to do it myself. Obviously it must be possible but I don't know how to do it. I saw a link on the forums (lost it) to an outside site with really nice directions on...

So my digital temp gauge died on me again when I put it in my mash to monitor the temps. It was never submersed but it freaked out somehow. Sooooo, I want to add a permanent digital thermometer to my MLT but had some questions. Is it a good idea to drill a hole in the 10 gallon rubbermaid...

I noticed that when my regulator and co2 are outside of the kegerator the total co2 level is higher then when in the kegerator. When it is inside it is reading right at the beginning of the red level where it says I must refil. I haven't even gone through 2 kegs on this 5 pound co2. Does it...

So I just got done building my kegerator and left for christmas. It worked perfectly fine and I get back today and pour a pint and one tap is just spewing foam and the other tap has no beer coming out of it. This is the setup I have. http://stores.kegconnection.com/Detail.bok?no=326 I have...

So my faucet was leaking where it connects to the shank. Think I just need to replace the o ring in there. Question is...the o ring in there looks kinda like a flat one and not sure I can find one like that locally. Anyone know if I can just get a regular o ring that is the same size and...

So I just bought a used tower and it came with faucets. When I was inspecting the inside of the tower I noticed that the beer lines that come out of the shank (think that is right) run all the way down the tower and are ss. That is good and I think it will work if I just run my beer hose on...

So I have seen a few threads about peoples beers tasting a little watered down and not very flavorful. I just made my own recipe of a ipa I made and after kegging it yesterday it has that same flavor. It sat in primary for 4 weeks and now is kegged. It doesn't have much mouth feel and the...

So I just filled my first keg. I have a ball lock corny keg and didn't know how much I could fill it. I did it right to the line in the inside where the top rubber starts. Is that the correct level or should I have filled it higher?

So I found a Haier NuCool fridge for sale. Here are the specs... I am just getting into kegging and I purchased a 2 keg ball lock setup with 5lb bottle from keg connections. I don't know if this would be too cramped to make it work. Anyone else know?

When mashing does the first volume of water you use suppose to be more or less then the amount of sparge water you use? I am trying to have 7.5 gallons pre boil. This is what I have for my current recipe: 15lb total grain 15x1.5=22.5 qtrs of water % 4 = about 5.62 gal water for the mash...

So my fermenting chamber is basically a big trash can w/lid and my fermenter inside of it with water filled to about halfway. I then have frozen water bottles that I change out. I have a floating thermometer in there and I also have a temp strip applied to my plastic fermenting bucket...

Does beersmith automatically calculate your mashing temp and time based on the recipe you input and the equipment setup you have made? I just batch sparge and want to make sure beersmith is setup correctly so I can get the correct mash temp and time.

Is there a equation or amount for the amount of water hops absorb in a regular boil?

So I decided to make my first recipe and this is what I have come up with. Light colored ipa with about 100 ibu bitterness and 6-7% alcohol. I am going for a kinda piney flavor/aroma to it so I am looking for some feedback on what you think of the hopping schedule and just the recipe in...
