what is out there for kegging 1 or 2 gallon batches. someone here at my work said i might be able to us a portable garden sprayer. the one that you carry on your back and pump to spray your lawn or whatever. i may be able to rig something. do you think this would work? i have looked at...

oooh i am gonna have to try this one. on my second batch of blueberry wheat. trying to perfect it.

i like a lot of hops at the end of the boil and weighted down in a bag at the bottom of the kegs. not really a bitter guy but do like the aroma.

i aged a 1090 dunkel for like 5 weeks and then kegged. first thing i realized that it needed more time to mellow out in the corny. second my psi was set at 10 psi, way to low. this stuff tasted better at around 14 or 15 psi. i had a glass the other day and it was a nice mellow dunkel. drink it...

think i am gonna try this with my honey pilsner i have in the bucket right now.

surg tech here during the weekdays. redneck during the weekends :rockin:

hmmm what if i left it open top. i have two 1 gallon beverage dispensers. the ones with the screw on tops with a pop open pour. only these ones have a spigot an inch from the bottom. my thought is if i let the pressure able to release it should work. say keep the cap on snug but not sealed...

say i let it brew and before i reach my final gravity i chill then to serve i pop the blow tube off and open up the spigot to pour a beer. upon finishing the pour i put a small scoop of DME back in the bucket and replace blow off tube and leave to warm to room temp 68 degrees say.. would this...

and stink it does my friend.

say your bucket is in a bedroom. is it bad to be in that room for an extended period of time?

would i be best with a round or square one? i only ask cause the square will have more surface area vs the round. does this matter? does anyone find that you have more stuck mashes in one or the other? i am looking at a 40 qt round one and a 42 qt square one and started think. so...

thing is a beast. did a 10 gallon batch yesterday with a buddy. with the large surface area we were able to do all 10 gallons with no boil overs. very nice. the spigot had a very slow drip from the threads but stopped once we reached boil temps. handles were strong enough to lift the whole 10...

i used carb drops from the fermenter bucket bottles only. i have yet to see how it turns out. i am waiting >30 days. never would use carb drops from the keg method. sorry if it was worded wrong. wand method for the record is solid. removed wand from bottle after filling with 3 psi and topped of...

beer was perfect. thanks bobby from NJ.
