Hey Mcody, nice new kegerator. If the beer came carbonated, your ideal serving pressure depends on the diameter and length of the serving hose. I would shoot for 12-14 psi and you should be in good shape.

Hello everyone. I recently switched from a plate chiller to a MoreBeer Chiller with Recirculation (WC45A). I used it for the first time this weekend and expected my wort to chill a bit faster, based on reviews and research. Does anyone have experience with this particular chiller or a similar...

Thanks for the info. I hope I don't have the gusher bug, that would be a shame to spend all this time and waiting to have gushers, but I'll just have to deal. Thanks for the link, i'll give one of those ideas a try.

Having been in the same situation, I have a SMaSH IPA that I keep on draft 90% of the time. It's one of my"stock" beers that I've made many times. Having consumed many pints of said IPA, I know it very well. I know how it tastes and how it should taste. To experiment with MO, I brewed my...

My first post is a bit overdue as I've been trolling the forums for a few months now. I've been brewing for about 1 year now and made the transition to AG about 8 months ago. I'm a full time Network / Security Consultant, part time home brewer / Jeeper / malt beverage quality control...
