Interesting and good to know. I have mine just held together by hose clamps. Nice and janky. I guess I'll just leave it on then! Thanks

Hey all! Just started kegging. Why didn't u start earlier? I'm curious how long most of you keep your output hose attached? I have the picnic style dispenser. Seems like your beer could get infected If you leave it on for days? What do you all do?

Hey Robby - yes, using it as a fermentation control. Good to hear and thank you

Hey all - I'm new to kegging and following instructions from the homebrew shop I put my c02, keg and regulator in the freezer. The condensation from the freezer builds up on the regulator and I just wanted to ensure that isn't a problem? Also, the c02 gauge reads about 450-500psi and says...

I'll make sure to tear it down and change o rings next time

Thanks all! I should have read this first, but I called the HBS back and the owner said it was from a home brewer that got out of the hobby, so I went ahead and filled it out with my Oktoberfest I just made. Hopefully it turns out ok!

I bought a corny keg from a homebrew store and when I filled it with hot water to clean, it had almost a roundup-y smell. I rinsed it with hot water another few times and star saned it. While the star San was in I didn't smell anything. My question is: is this leg safe to use? Wanted to ensure...

Works well! Seems more effective than filling the entire tub with water to must level.

Hello, I'm fermenting a cider and made a swamp cooler a little different than normal. I only filled the water up about 3 inches in a large tub. I then places the fermenter in there with a wet towel wrapped around it. I've been putting an ice bottle in there each day as well. I have a stick on...

Ok, that's what I was thinking, but wanted to see if it had happened to anyone else. Thanks!

Oops, title should say "bulging" not building.

Hello, I made a great sweet cider by fermenting to dry and back sweetening with concentrate. After bottling, I let the cider carb for 3 days and pasteurized them (ended up with about 40 pasteurization units). Anyway, I cracked one open and it was delicious ( a bit hazy since I didn't use pectic...

Looks like verdict is keep it. It's fermenting away nicely!

Good point, ong. I didn't use more than a tblspn total I'd bet.

I think I agree with you - just going to toss it. Next time I'll be sure to wash with just water. I know what apple blend I'm going for, so next time around should be quick!
