I considered the dual body regulator but for the price I figured I would just wait until my next bonus at work and buy enough secondary regulators to split everything off and have individual PSI control per keg.

I put together my first kegging kit through keg connection and honestly I could not find a better price+shipping on any of the items but wanted to get a second look and see if the price is right. Four 5 gall Pin Lock = $119.95 (29.99/keg) Kegerator faucet kit (Taprite Regulator, 4ft. gas hose...

I really do not care about head retention. The issue is that it is VERY lightly carbonated, just enough that it still tastes completely flat after your 4th sip. Four others that have tasted it and agreed it is as close to flat as you can get in regards to carbonation. First time I have had this...

For one reason or another I have an undercarbonated yet great tasting bottled Nut Brown Ale. The proper amount of corn sugar was added, 4 weeks later they were undercarbed. I believe it was a yeast issue so I tried adding a few grains of yeast to a couple bottles and waiting 2 more weeks, but...

OP provided the AG recipe in the original post.

Sounds like I need more beans and let it sit on even longer. I'll keep trying and see if I can get the sweet spot.

Geez! Is there any hope with vanilla and bottling?

I feel like this would be a problem whether adding to primary or in the bottling bucket. Any suggestions for the future? Would one just overdose the vanilla?

Hello, I finally decided to try some adjuncts with my last brew (a Nut Brown). I chopped and scraped 2 vanilla beans, soaked them in vodka for a week, added all of it to primary, and let is it for another week. At bottling it smelled strongly of vanilla and tasted medium to medium-high on the...

I brewed the all grain recipe on Saturday with my BIAB process. This was my first time using Nottingham, and I had not seen much airlock activity but saw a krausen had already come and gone. As of this morning it was already down to 1.018 from 1.058! Dang, Notty moves fast. Going to give...

This will be my second AG BIAB and second time building my water. How does this water profile look? Calcium - 65ppm Magnesium - 9ppm Sodium - 21ppm Sulfate - 33ppm Chloride - 61ppm

My LHBS has Pale Chocolate (400) and Chocolate (625). Should I go with one over the other, or some kind of mixture of both?

It is rated for 1000W(120V) output, so as long as your freezer plus heating element are under 1000W(120V) you should be fine.

The general consensus is to tape it to the side of the fermenting vessel but making sure to also tape some sort of insulation over it (foam, washcloth, etc.) to get a more accurate reading of the vessel.
