I brew a lot of IPAs and have tried many different methods. If you want to carb quicker, set your psi to about 15-20. Set a timer for 5 minutes and rock the keg back and forth. You will hear the co2 bubbling into the solution. Let the keg sit in 32 degree F temp for 24 hours. Purge and taste...

Hi all- Looking to buy one of those edgestar style kegerators from someone. Downsizing my current one since I'm moving into a condo that does not have a full garage...this one in particular is fitted for a quarter barrel. Does anyone know if it's possible/easy to convert to a corney hookup...

Hi all- Thinking about trying an experiment out on my system and wanted to get some input/advice if anyone has tried something crazy like this: So I currently run a three tier gravity fed system. I don't have much luck with clarifying the wort via Vorlauf-looking to buy a pump to attach to the...

I think the problem lies within the process. Dry hopping is going to give you more aroma than taste. There are of course a lot of factors that weigh into getting most hop utilization, however, taste is going to come from hop additions in the boil.

You seem to be correct. It appears the only difference is that the 50 amp can be run simultaneously vs the 30 amp which toggles between the two. Thanks for the advice. I'll def look into larger kettles to avoid boil overs...

This is the panel I'm considering

Thanks Brian-My plan is having a 15 gallon 3 vessel configuration and will probably start with 10 gallon batches until I have the capacity to house more. Not going to be doing back to back batches. I only want the hlt and boil kettle to have heating elements as I'm planning on doing a herms setup.

Hi guys- I am no electrician nor do I have much experience with wiring so this may seem like a dangerous question...however I'm looking at buying a diy kit for a panel build and I'm trying to decide between a 30amp vs 50 amp setup. What information do I need in order to make the correct decision?
