    Disconnecting c02 off a full keg?

    Hey Guys, I kegged a beer the other day. Burped and purged it and then I set it to 12 psi and did the "set it and forget it". But unfortunately my keezer broke down. The freezer compressor went.

    They are used kegs, and I didnt replace the O rings. Is that recommended?

    New Keezer/ c02 hissing st keg connection

    Hey Everyone, I just built my keezer. I put my first batch in a keg today and set everything up. I followed a video on YouTube about purging the keg and i now have the c02 level at 12 psi and I'm doing the set it and forget it carbonation. I hear a hissing of c02.

    4.4 cu fridge to fit two kegs

    Hi I just bought a kegerator conversion kit that came with 2 corny kegs. I'm just wondering if people think 2 kegs plus the co2 will fit in a 4.4 cu model mini fridge. This is the particular one I'm looking at. Thanks so much for the help...

    How many times opening the fermenter is too much?

    I tend to get overly excited about a batch fermenting and open it a lot just to look and smell it. Is it bad to do this a lot?

    Fermentation on a red ale

    i'm following a recipe that says fermentation should be done in 4-6 days. is that correct? i'm reading on different websites that it usually takes longer. Should i take a reading on my hydrometer? the airlock is still bubbling...today is the fifth day. thanks for any help!

    Airlock

    I'm a beginner, after six days have not seen airlock activity in my lager. Is this a bad sign? Thanks

    Lager Fermenting

    Hi, I am a new first time brewer and made the mistake of buying a lager as my first batch. I didn't realize there was secondary fermenting that was necessary. I have two buckets, is it okay to simply pour out of my primary into my secondary? Or is siphoning recommended? Thanks for the help...
