I will be making a fermentation chamber in my garage this fall using plywood and insulation... Initially, I will be using an oil filled radiator-style electric to maintain temps during the fall and winter... Then in the spring, I plan to rig an AC up to the unit to keep it cool in the...

Who said anything about half assed? Just trying to be creative. CO2 is not an issue, I can have all I want for free... How does a creamer faucet compare to the stout as far as head/creaminess? Thanks.

Crazy Idea 2.0... I use a 3 way distributor, and use the 3rd barb as a purging barb.

Then you don't get the creaming/foaming, which is the point.

I will not be leaving it on 35 PSI for any length of time, that is why I have the distributor switch... I'm wondering after I'm done pouring, and I flip it back to 7 PSI, should I purge the keg?

I did not think of that... Excellent point. Thanks. I have one other thought... Would I need to purge the keg after every 35psi pour to prevent overcarbing? That would be a dealbreaker...

I love stouts... I'm currently working on a kegerator build that will give me room for 4-5 kegs. At least one of these kegs will be root beer that I intend to have carbed at 35-40 PSI serving. I would love to have a stout handle, but not enough to to invest in a nitro system. From what I...

I'm curious about this one as well....

Interesting.... I'm not in any hurry.... and I can chill before storing.... Looking around here, it looks like I can carb at room temp, just at a higher pressure... This changes my thought process a bit. I think I'm going to do a Small kegerator build. Minifridges are popping up on...

Know of any deals on a flux capacitor?:D

To those who are choosing "Kegging Setup" Please explain.... Without a way to cool the kegs below room temp, why should that be my next move?

I have a storage room that is consistently 65-70 in the summer. I currently have my fermenters in a swamp bath to help minimize fluctuation. They have been consistently 68º readings in the water, and on the fermenters. I like the idea of the SOFC, but since I'm fermenting 3-5 things at a...

I've got my brew-day process down to where I like it right now... It's quick, easy, and efficient... I need some help deciding what my next project should be. I'd love some input. Kegging Setup: Reasons: I currently have a 35# CO2 cylinder, and two 0-60psi regulators. Running out of...
