As I get older I am having trouble moving and picking up brewing vessels. I would like to make a 3 tiered stand where I could mechanically raise the brew pot after mashing so it would be high enough to drain into the carboy. Have any of you made such a device? I'm not really interested in pumps...

If I make a 5-gallon keg of club soda how much Soda BiCarb do I use I searched but could not find an amount as a starting point. Thanks so much

The way you describe is the way I am set up. the only problem I could see is if you were pouring many beers at the same time you might run out of pressure, this hasn't happened to me yet. One thing I do is after racking to the keg I hook up the CO2 to the liquid side to pressurize the tank to...

I do clean with brushes every couple of weeks. I am using these faucets https://www.ontariobeerkegs.com/Taprite_S_S_Beer_Faucet_S_S_Lever_p/taprite-ssfaucet-ss-lever.htm

I have a four tap Keezer and four kegs going with just me and my wife consuming they have been hooked up for a couple of months. I have noticed the taps sticking should I disconnect everything and do a cleaning or waite until each keg is finished and do it then? Thanks.

4 inches will be about an ounce or so of beer hardly noticeable in your first glass.

I have been doing a lot of reading on carb stones connected to the inlet pipe but no one seems to go into where to place in the keg. Do you let it sit on the bottom? if so does this not stir up any sediment every time a little more co is added? or do you keep it up a little say 3 inches from the...

I normally prime in the keg

I have four batches of ale that I brewed for Christmas they are all sitting about 1.02 so not quite finished, however, I was to have them conditioned in time for Christmas. Can I keg them now with slightly less priming sugar? Wait until they hit 1.0 and then prime? or wait till finished and...

Everything seems to be OK.

Off and on for over 30 years when I started that's all there was. Now I do both all-grain and extract. I was able to do 4 batches of extract last weekend that would have been hard to do time-wise with all-grain

WHAT I'm not supposed to do that???

Ok, I got them all switched over. Have I done any damage to the posts or couplers?

I'm just hooking up my system, as there were no instructions with it I put the black couplers on the gas side and the grey on the beverage side. Is this an issue? what is the difference between the two? I have one keg connected now have I screwed it up? do I just need to relax and have a...

I can handle skid marks its the crap that gets on my hands, when I wash them there are rivulets of black water that run off of the rubber.
