Well, this has certainly been a great crash course in kegging. (And I thought this was supposed to be easier than bottling? :drunk:) I did force carb at about 20-25psi for 3 days because I was impatient to try out the new system. So far the beer is still carbed pretty well and the foaming is...

I have my first keg of beer (Kolsch) in my newly made kegerator and I am seeing what I think is a problem. When I pour a beer, close the tap, and then look at the beer line C02 bubbles are forming on either end of the hose, by this I mean bubbles towards the keg end and bubbles towards the tap...

yep, that would be too far of a drive . . . :( Thanks!

Hey Hammy, Where in MD do you get your tank filled? I live in Severn (near Fort Meade) and went to GTS-Welco in Jessup which was supposed to be one of the better places/deals according to something I read from BURP. Glad to know I wasn't just being cheap, but it's a bummer because they are...

I just bought a keg setup and had my 5lb C02 tank filled at a local welding shop. When I got the tank home I did give the tank a quick open to let the pressure release for a quick "psst" (sound effect) just to check it out and then again to show the GF. When I hooked the tank up to the regulator...

Ok, thanks! Well, if in a few weeks I try the batch and go blind I will get a friend to post for me and let you all know . . . :)

I am fairly certain it is not residue, if you have ever seen an aluminum tray after holding Oxiclean, it looks like that. This is what make me think it wasn't truly SS.

I assume this question has been asked before but I was looking for a short and quick answer. I had purchased a nice new supposed SS funnel with strainer and unwittingly soaked it in "no-rinse" sanitizer only to find what once looked shiny and new is now a grayish eyesore. I also put a SS mixing...

SWEET poto101! thanks! (Are you sure you don't own that website and build custom kegs to forum post requests) :mug:

hmm, I measured my mini-fridge last night and ran into the dreaded "freezer shelf" problem with height clearance for a 5 gal keg. Does anyone know where to find cheap deals on 2.5 or 3 gal kegs? Or is there another keg solution out there that has a max height of about 22" or less? Seems like a...

Stumbled upon this and wanted to share as well as get some input on the quality of this deal? I have only made 3 batches of beer so far and have not kegged but I am already looking into the possibility of upgrading...

Thanks TipsyDragon, the good news is that I just opened another bottle from the first batch and it came out good! I now know the issue was not giving it more time in the bottle to carb. That being said, I feel better about how the second batch will come out, but only time will tell. For the...

I just bottled my second batch of beer (a wheat beer). I had posted earlier about an issue with the yeast not completely settling and today on the 14th day it was still the same with a pretty prominent layer on the top which I had to sacrifice part of into the last bottle I filled. I also...

Hey Rafae !

Thanks for the encouragement! Would you suggest bottling on the 14th day or take a sip and if it seems ready just bottle now? Also, what would the suggestion be for someone when they run into a situation where the yeast does not completely fall (in order to avoid excessive yeast during...
