Hello beerman0001 the keg i use is a a keg from the pub that uses a U type coupler and the last couple of times i kegged my beer i didnt need to gas it to seal it, my beers carb ok but this time it didnt. I was just wondering how would i get it carbed now and did i use enough priming sugar.

Yea but at wat setting and for how long

Hello I keg my first PM 3 weeks ago it was the BM cennential blonde and everything went well. When i kegged my beer i let my beer naturally prime with 87g of table sugar for 5 gallons at 19C for the 3 weeks the reason i naturally prime is because i dont have Co2 i only have a mix gas Co2 and...

Hi Just a quick question on this beer. I made a 5 gallon partial mash of this on sunday and all went well but when it is finishes fermenting i was going to natuarlly prime the beer in my keg wit table sugar because i only have a cylinder wit mixed gases co2/nitrogen that i use for pulling the...

Hello Mine broke the same way and the thing i used to fix it was a small marbale. I sanitized it and put it into the autosiphon and pumped and when the beer starts to flow just leave the siphon/pump part up about an inch from the marbale to get a nice flow.

Cazamodo i use the carlsberg kegs and it uses a U type coupler you can get them on ebay for about €30 and you can get quick release fittings for them for the pipe fittings which are handy to have.

I used about 70g of priming sugar so i think it was more than 1/3 of the of what i use. I do usually put 120g of priming sugar in when i bottle the beer well depending on the type of beer i make. Maybe my tempature might of had something to do with the bad carbanation my beer was at 18c when...

Hello Can anyone tell me does it matter on the size of the keg to how much priming sugar you use to prime the beer or is it you are just priming 5 gallons of beer no matter what size the keg is??? Its just i have a keg i got from a pub and its the half size keg that holds 40 to 45 pints...

Cool id love one please

Yea it will be fine some beers usually take about 4 weeks to ferment so it shouldnt be a problem
