Hi, I just purchased one of these controllers and have no idea how to set it up. I saw a video on youtube but the settings were for reefer trucking. The A421 unit comes with the probe already assembled so I don't think I have to do any re-wiring. Just wondering how to set it up for...

Awesome thanks for all the help guys! Can't wait to drink this throughout the month!

@LLbean , I don't really understand step #3 above. I dont usually take readings or understand how to check diacetyl. I'm currently in diacetyl rest and will be until Friday when I will rack to keg, give it a day at 35, put it on gas at 12 psi and try it as it lagers, probably a couple pints for...

Great!!! Looking forward to this!!!

Great thanks! I will keg then... what do you mean seal with co2? Put it on gas? What psi while layering? Can I just drink it as it lagers haha

Hi All! Brewed my first oktoberfest: I had it in a primary bucket for 12 days at 55 deg (I believe it was consistent temp, but did not use one of those Johnson Control Electronic Single Stage Temp control sensors). Now I have it at room temp for a diacetyl rest, still in the primary...

Hi! My old fridge kicked the bucket. It was loud and took a lot of energy.... so now naturally i'm looking for something different. Hoping to get a fridge/kegerator that has a sleek design, easy to fit for homebrew setup with 3 cornies (I have a three tap perlick tower). Energy efficient...

I think this actually may be the issue. I made an effort this batch to have more volume prior to ferm and think I overdid it a little bit. I was tired of low yields in the past. Thanks everyone for the advice!

Perhaps gas is not entering the KEG? I don't seem to be losing much on the gauge. I turned it up to 12/13 psi to see if it makes a difference. If there is no surgar pitched into the keg, would it still carbonate slightly just based off of regular fermentation?

I have plenty of gas in the tank, valve is open and the CO2 is hooked up to the corny. After nearly 3 weeks in the keg, still very minimal carbonation. Any tips? I have the keg at around 40 deg F....

Thanks guys! Might just be paranoid lol

I made a starter a week ago and fermented 2 cups DME after the AMerican ale smak pak swelled at room temp for 3 hours on stir plate. I couldn't brew due to weather and other obligations so I put the starter in the fridge for a week with a stopper and ferm lock. Took the starter out today and it...

Are there specific off flavors for kegged beers? Just about every batch I've kegged bas a "sweeter" taste to it unless the batch is loaded with hops masking it.

I like the way you think.... I am going this route. Thanks for all the input though! For me, i would have to go buy extra tubing and disconnects because I don't know how I'm going to reach all the way up my beer tower to the beer line connecting to the faucet. Not sure how I will do this one...

Ok that is more clear. So I have to go buy more beer tubing and QD's to make a short beer jumper to connect one end to gas on problem side and the other to the beer out post on the new keg. Few questions: 1.) how do I "purge" the new, sanitized keg? 2.) how long do I let the keg sit on it's...

I checked this. It appears to be fully snapped and seated. Each time I pull the handle a litttttle bit of beer comes out but not much at all. So can I just rack this into another, sanitized keg?

Also, I tried to inject the dip tube with co2 shortly, waited a day and still no luck.

Can i just siphon the beer to another keg??? The above is very confusing and not sure I could pull it off. If I can't transfer, are there any other options of video/picture demonstrations of what you are talking about? Thx.

Pellet hops I have a second keg and connects/ lining. I just kegged last nite so it needs time to carb anyway. Soo verdict is: wait for beer to carb and hops to break down?? Aka do nothing?! If so, that is sweet There is co2 in the keg when I pull relief and a little bit of beer in the beer line.
