    Small Diameter Gas Line Ideas/Issues?

    Hey there, Just getting back into homebrewing after probably a year or more absence. In any case I just put my first new batch into the kegerator and had to spruce it up a bit. A friend of mine was about to throw away an old solid brass perlick two faucet tower and I had him redirect it to my...

    Beer gun with bottling bucket (not Keg)?

    Does anyone use beergun with bottling bucket? My process is now to purge the bottle and then use spigot and a bottling wand to put the beer in the bottle and then purge the headspace and cap the bottle. (I add the priming sugars to the bottles before the first purge.) Im wondering if I could...

    NEIPA bottling experiment using Daraform Oxygen Scavenging caps

    I have just bottled my first NEIPA, (6th Feb 2021). I have read a lot about people trying to purge headspace with CO2 and seen all the 'discussion' that occurs as a result. I don't have a keg setup or any smaller means of getting CO2 into my bottle. So I was aiming to try bottling with a very...

    Priming Sugar vs Co2

    Hi There, I’m new to the forum and relatively new to brewing as a whole (I have 3 brews under my belt at the moment) I’ve just purchased 2 corny kegs and would like some advice on carbonation if anyone can share there wisdom. From what I have been looking at so far, carbonating by co2 and...

    Corny Keg co2 charger

    This little guy pops on your corny Keg, and charges it with co2. Includes charger unit, faucet, and 7 extra cartridges. I used it at festivals when I had more beers than handles on my jockey box, also great for bringing a keg to a party. Cartridges last surprisingly long time. $30 15 to ship...

    Carbonation levels and CO2 charts

    Hi, new member here. =) I have been looking at information about the CO2 charts and I have a few questions: 1. Is there analytical data about how long it should take to reach a certain volume at a certain pressure and temperature? I'm considering light beers/sodas for this question, and even...

    Low Oxygen Dry Hop

    Cold crashing now from 90 degrees to 65 degrees over a day or so. Yeast- Omega Hot Head Ale Kveik Here's the dilemma, I was hoping to dry hop using a sight glass/butterfly valve to minimize oxygen exposure. Due to my kegerators height, I would have to move the fermenter out and then do the...

    CO2 empty after 3 days?

    First off, I'm not brewing beer... I am simply carbonating water for the family, but I'm new to this. Bought an old dual-tap kegerator off FB Marketplace. - Corny keg with pin-locks - 5 lb CO2 tank - Regulator The first keg, I could hear and see a leak in the lid. The CO2 emptied about the...

    New to kegging. What size CO2 cylinder should I get?

    As the title states, I am just buying up ball lock corny kegs in my area. I've got two of them and all the gaskets are fantastic and they hold pressure. I bought a set of gaskets to replace them if they didn't. I have a 5 gal. fermenter on deck that'll be ready to keg in a couple of days and...

    3 Tap Full-Size Kegerator

    This kegerator conversion was made with a CO2 line pass-through on the side that allows the 10-lb CO2 tank to be stored outside while providing space for up to four (4) 5-gallon kegs inside. The inner shelf maximizes "floor space" while still providing space above for taps and connections and...

    Extra Large Deep Freezer Ready for Kegerator Conversion

    Large style deep freezer, deep enough for 20lb CO2 tank, 5 Gal. Soda Kegs, and Industrial Kegs to fit with their attachments. Started as a project that never came to fruition. Debated adding a wooden collar to give it additional room but it honestly doesn't need it. Kit includes: Deep Freezer...

    Mead without an airlock?

    Hi everyone, I started my first batch of Meade yesterday, I have left it in a plastic bucket with a sealed lid but no airlock. Do I need to release the CO2 if so how often and does it matter if oxygen gets into the mixture? Many thanks, Josh

    CO2 Tank

    Hi, I am in the process of making/building a keezer and I noticed that I would have some space in front of the refrigeration panel and that triggered the wildest thought. Install the CO2 tank horizontally! However I do not know the internal guts of a CO2 tank. Would it be an issue to use it...

    CO2 Levels in Beer: The Role it Plays

    Beer is one of those beverages that has an important trademark: it is bubbly, effervescent and bright. CO2 is imparted by beer conditioning (by adding priming sugar) or by forcing CO2 into a keg, this element has a huge impact in our favorite brew, and can give very specific characteristics just...

    Carbon Dioxide Purity And Off Taste

    There are numerous discussions on HomeBrewTalk about off-flavors from CO2. Some are non-believers and insist that CO2 is CO2, while others claim to have experienced these off-flavors first-hand. I am primarily a soda brewer, and I'm a firm believer now that CO2 can have a significant impact on...

    Craft The Perfect Draft Beer Gun Anyone?

    Over the years I had read plenty of mixed reviews about the Blichmann Beer Gun before actually pulling the trigger and getting one for myself. It seemed that the two most common complaints brewers posted about had to do with how beer bottled using the Blichmann Beer Gun could be under carbonated...

    CO2 generation (Not harvested from fermentation)

    Hello everyone, glad to finally become part of the forum from which I learned so much!. I have an idea on my head for some time regarding CO2 generation. You see... where I live its not that easy to get my CO2 tanks refilled every time I see fit. I was wondering over ebay and amazon and I...

    Howdy all i am just making my first cider kit and the instructions that come with it describe adding the priming sugar by batch priming, however I usually just prime each bottle when making lager, so would adding the same amount that I add when brewing lager, approx one teaspoon of brewing...
