It's a brand new regulator. But that doesn't mean that it can't be broken. But the brew went through a week in primary, then two weeks and three days in secondary. It's a dual guage regulator giving me tank pressure and keg pressure. I lowered the pressure, purged the system, then upped...

Hey guys, I'm having some trouble keeping my C02 pressure correct. I have a light ale on tap right now, it's my first batch ever. I set the pressure at say about 11.5 and it will stay there for about 4 hours. Then, say when I wake up and check it the pressure has risen in the tank to about 18...

Hey guys, I am fixin to move my first batch from secondary to the corny keg. I have a few questions. First thing is first. I have found several (say maybe 10 or so) little whitish dots on the surface of my brew. They are maybe the size of a pin head. Very small but they resemble mold. Is...

thanks guys, I'm headed to academy right now to check to see if they can fill it. They said that the biggest they have filled before is a 20 ounce bottle. They only have one fitting to fill with so I'm hoping that it's universal.

Hey guys, quick question. Where do i fill my bottle?

Hey guys, have any of you heard of this huge virus that is supposed to go out on the 3rd of each month starting tomorrow? I got a call from my dad and from my tech guy at school telling me not to open my e-mail folder at all today (Feb. 3)... Just wanted to ask about it and see if any of you...

Hey guys, I've just racked my wort into my secondary but I could not for the life of me figure out how to siphon without using my mouth. I have a carboytap or whatever but could not figure out how to make it work. Anyway, I ended up risking my beer by using my mouth. I swished with some mouth...

Well, I'll throw in what I do i suppose. Right now I'm a Mechanical Engineer/Math major at Texas Tech. I'll be finished up here next spring and plan on heading back home to Austin to work with an aviation firm that updates older planes equipment. I'll be able to fly around the world working...

Hey guys, just a quick quesiton. My first batch has been in primary since about 2:00 a.m. on the 27th. The bubbling has slowed down to about a bubble every 90 seconds in the airlock. There is still some gunk floating around on the top of the wort. Is this going to totally disperse back into...

Thanks Guys. Seems to be a good project for the weekend.

Thanks guys, and I am in college so this is the time and place. Hehe. Anyway, I make canni-butter all the time. Cooking the herb in butter seems to extract all the goodies i need. I don't see why boiling in water wouldn't do the same. I've made hash using ethyl alcohol and it seemed to work...

Hey guys, I've got a little mini-fridge that will fit two corny's and my 5# CO2 tank. I'd like to have a tower on it with two taps for the two kegs. Quation is: I need a parts list for what I need to do this. As of right now, I have everything you see here...

Hey guys, I've been thinking. I'm pretty new to the forum and don't really know how you guys are, but I have a question. So, drinking quality beer isn't my only hobby. I also enjoy smoking quality herb, and I've been thinking. I boil herb in butter to extract the THC to cook with to...

Hey guys, I've got my first brew underway and need to know if i need to rinse out my primary carboy after i sanitize it? I used BTF sanitizer...thanks, i'm in a hurry.

Doing my very first batch. American IPA from morebeer.com. Figure something easy. Quick question, when using sanitizer that comes with it. Do i need to rinse out the carboy after sanitizing? If so, what do i rinse with? Pre-boiled water? Tap water?
