    Kegging

    Once your beer is carbed it takes 3 or 4 co2 chargers to push out 5 gallons

    can't get a seal on my corney

    So far I've: 1) Replaced the O-ring 2) Lubed the crap out of it 3) Tried switching the direction of the lid (several times) 4) Put dimes under the latches to tighten it and it still won't seal. I can feel the air flowing near the points of the lids. Any advice would be appreciated!

    Corney Keg Issues

    Thanks for all the help. One of those grey things is missing, I'll try to dime trick and see if that works. Nevertheless, it sounds like I need to buy some o-rings and figure out how these things work. On the other keg, the gas leaks when I unhook it. Also, when I put the gas on, it doesn't...

    Corney Keg Issues

    1) No I didn't remove the post. I'm kinda new to this. 2) yeah, the lid. I tried reseating it 4 or 5 times to no avail. I suppose I need to pick up some keg lube.

    Corney Keg Issues

    1) one corney keg is leaking gas from the "in" post when I disconnect it. 2) the other won't create a seal around the top "thing" (don't know the terminology) that opens and closes. Both kegs are about two months old. Thanks in advance.

    So who's brewing this weekend?

    I did two batches yesterday in six hours. One all-grain and the other extract with specialty grains. I'm pretty proud of myself. I think I'm getting the hang of this thing.

    Oxiclean soaking: submerge whole bottle or just to the rim?

    I put two scoops of oxyclean in an empty trash can and fill it with bottles and warm water. I can do about 100 at a time.

    Amount of ice required to cool boiling wort.

    I'm amazed people are cooling 2.5g of wort in 20 minutes with a 5lb bag of ice. I always buy a 22lb bag of ice and supplement that with ice from my frig's ice maker. With a wort chiller do you use ice water or just "cold" tap water? The cold water out of my tap is about 75f, I don't see how...
