Hmm brewed that recipe with not much success... O.G. was like 1.086 fermented for 8-9 days then went to secondary for a month then kegged it. It needs a lot of time to mellow out very high alcohol and sweetness to it watch your gravity with this one, keep it per the recipe intructions also I...

Soaked in starsan? Everything I've read says you need to soak in something like oxyclean/PWB/baking soda THEN rinse well and use startsan to sanitize

I still need to high pressure regulator for the Nitro/co2 tank. I don't mind the 22CF tank actually because I wanted a small one so that it would fit inside my beverage air BM23 Kegerator, that way I dont have to drill a hole through it. I've modified the tap from a single tap for a 3 tap tower...

*Update* I called this morning after tossing and turning around last night and asked what I paid for exactly and he told me "the exchange for the 20# co2 and for a mixed gas so $36+$50 but he made it $90 even. So basically 4 old tanks exchange for an 80CF (full) nitro tank and 1 co2 (out of test...

These are old out of test date steel co2 tanks so, I paid 30 for one plus shipping and around 20 each for the others, how much would you sell an 80cf nitro tank for? plus the gas fill would be $60 bucks for "beer gas" and $23 for co2 (without testing)

You mean an empty 20# co2 exchanges $15 for a 20# full tank right? The guy made a comment about not even charging me for the testing.

Hmm, well both places the guys kinda looked at me like they didn't really need all these dirty old extra co2 tanks but we will take them off your hands

Yea, same issue with a delirium tremens clone i'm brewing. took O.G. reading and it said 1.030 and i was like wtf? so i mixed up the batch voilently and to create some oxygen for the yeast and then took another reading and the hydromete nearly flew out of the tube! 1.086 !! so yea it makes a...

I mean, whats an average cost for a used 20# co2 tank? I paid $58 bucks and to get ir filled/exchanged would have cost me $36 so $58+$36= $94 for one tank. I've no idea where to find a used 80CF (equivalent to 20#+) Nitrogen tank, the only ones i've seen on ebay are like $140-$150 80 CF WELDING...

OK So I just got a used, but still in pretty good condition beverage air bm23 for about $425. So I decided it's time to start kegging! So I started looking at getting tanks and co2, well buying a brand new tank wasn't really where I wanted to go since I called two local gas places and they...

I've got a batch of this clone fermenting in the closet, and I'd like to keg it with my new kegerator setup... But I'm wondering about the seconds batch of yeast since i won't be bottle conditioning?

I've used the red-to-pitch for 2 brews, the first I smacked it and added it almost right away with success (to spit stout) and the second most recent I smacked and gave about 30-60 mins to swell some and pitched, that worked fine as well. I brewed two batches on monday (03/02/09) a simple amber...

When did you take your starting gravity? you measure your O.G. (original gravity) reading right beforer you pitch the yeast. Then you take another reading after primary fermentation (bucket) to see if the O.G. has dropped by about 1/2 and no longer dropping. Then rack to your secondary...
