JuanMoore, You could be correct in your first suggestion. The Munich Helles was kegged two weeks ago and I use the set and forget method to reach serving carbonation. It is set at 12.25 PSI and may not be there quite yet. If this is the cause, I assume the solution is simply to wait another week...

Yeah, I'll swap the beer lines and see if I still get the breakout. I just pulled a pint and checked the temperature with a ThermaPen. Beer is about 43F. A little wamer than I expected and maybe partly to explain the breakout in CO2. I'm going to dial down my controller two degrees, which...

Opps, I meant 1.5" from the back wall!

Thanks for the reply. The computer fan runs all the time since I agree with you that I want more uniform temperatures. I am running an analog Johnson Control temperature controller. The probe is sitting in the back right corner of the chest freezer, about 4-5 inches from the bottom and about...

Hey everyone, I've tried to do my homework on this one by searching the HomeBrewTalk forum threads. I've checked the usual suspects (e.g., loose connections, lubricating O-rings, etc). I am running a computer fan at the top of my chest freezer to try and maintain consistent air temperatures...

Hey everyone, I hope someone can help me with this problem as it's driving me nuts. I have a dual-body, three gauge CO2 regulator from MoreBeer.com. From day one, I haven't entirely trusted its ability to keep constant PSI on the left regulator (one farthest from the CO2 tank). I know I can...

Hey everyone, So I picked up a used Sanyo 4911m fridge on Craigslist a few weeks back. I did the usual modifications (e.g., remove the plastic shelving on inside of front door) so I could fit a 6 gallon Better Bottle. I also caulked the crap out of the rubber seal when I re-attached it (both...

Thanks for all your comments; I think I figured something out last night. I have a Red Ale and Nut Brown in the chest freezer right now. The Red Ale has been in the freezer for a couple of months now, and was still getting the odd flavor. Last night I dialed down the regulator from 10.5 PSI to...

Hi group, I'm fairly new to kegging, and need a little bit of insight (or advice). I've kegged about 5 batches now and try to be quite religious about cleaning kegs, beer lines, faucets, etc before moving my finished beer into the chest freezer. I have noticed on all my batches an odd...
