    Set and Forget question

    If I do the set and forget method of carbonation for my Corny, does it have to be at room temperature? I've read that the cold slows down the process, however my gas lines are inside kegerator and would be a pain in the arse to remove.

    Oxygen in the keg

    I didn't bleed out the excess oxygen when I poured my batch into the keg and sealed it. What effect does oxygenation have on the beer and its taste? Its taken almost a month to get properly carbed and I can really taste straight alchohol. (Could be multiple factors I'm sure)

    Beer line extenders??

    I want to extend my beer line. Is there such thing as an adapter that can connect two beer lines to create a longer one? Or do I need to take the 5 foot line out and just replace it with a 7 foot line. Thanks.

    What does this mean?

    So I just tapped my first keg of homebrew. I also purchased a keg of Sam Adams. I hooked them both up to the kegerator. The Sam Adams was already cold since I purchased it from the store. My homebrew I added 5oz to 4 gallons of beer last week. I let it sit for about 10 days. I purged out...

    Varying temperatures for keg

    So my kegerator is broken and I'm having a new one shipped out to me in 7-14 days. In the meantime, I have two kegs in there that I need to store somewhere. I don't have space in the fridge so is it better to leave them in the basement where its about 70 degrees for a while or put them outside...

    Kegerator leak - not gas - plz help

    So I purchased a dual tap Edgestar kegerator last week. Hooked it up with an IPA and a cider and its been going great for a week. This afternoon I found a yellow substance all over the carpet in front of the front right wheel. I cleaned it up thinking the dog peed there however it didn't...

    Keg of Clipper City Loose Canon

    I bought a keg of Clipper City Loose Canon and hooked it up last week. I've set the PSI to 9 then 12 then 10 now back to 12. For some reason, it just doesn't taste close to the taste I get from the bottle. Am I missing something here? I'm new to kegging so maybe I'm not doing something...

    New keg, clean out the lines?

    My wife just finished her keg of cider. I need to use those hoses now for my homebrew IPA. Do I need to clean it out first or just hook up the Corny keg and the first glass may have some cider residue? I've read that most people clean out their lines after 3 kegs or so.

    Tap Handles

    Done some searching but haven't found much. Anyone know of a good: 1) Do it yourself site to build my own tap handle 2) Website to buy "original" tap handles (besides bevfactory, kegconnection, etc) I'd love a Virginia Tech one.

    Priming sugar in my keg

    I've looked at a few other threads and calculators but still have some confusion. I want to add priming sugar to my beer before kegging. I've brewed an IPA and my kegerator is at about 44 degrees. Its a 5 gallon batch. How much priming sugar do I need to my beer before kegging? I"ve heard...

    How many beers do you get out of a CO2 tank

    Just bought a dual tap kegerator. How many beers do you get out of a 5lb CO2 tank? Also - (this might be a stupid question) when the tank is empty does it affect the beer? Should I buy a second tank to have on hand?

    Kegerator comes on Thursday!

    I got the Edgestar 2 tap coming on Thursday. Any tips for a newbie? Can I use Easy Clean to clean the kegs and Starsan to sanitize?

    Build or buy a kegarator?

    I found this kegerator on sale for $569. This is the setup I'm looking for. I know I can buy a Sanyo or other fridge and convert it but I'm not that handy and feel like I'd screw it up and be out a couple hundred bucks. My question is - a) have you heard anything about this kegerator b)...

    Newbie questions

    To sanitize my primary bucket I just fill it up with 6.5 gallons of water and mix in the sanitizing agent. Then I dump it out down the drain. I realize that its expense to purchase the sanitizing agent. Should I be pouring out the bucket into gallon jugs and reusing it? Secondly, instead...

    First brew, didn't go as planned

    Finished brewing my first beer, an IPA, on Thursday night. Friday afternoon I checked on it, under the stairs in my basement, and saw that the stopper was foaming quite a lot and the airlock didn't have any of the vodka in there. (My buddy told me to use vodka instead of water in the airlock)...
