Yeah I can see how that might happen. And actually it would seem pretty hard to diagnose a leak where the gas in piece connects to the keg. But I dunked the gas in connector into a cup of water and no bubbles for me.

I guess I’ll do another soapy water test I guess. I’m tempted to dunk the thing in the bathtub to find the stupid leak!!

Well the title says it all. I like making stout so bought a dedicated beer gas set up. But I have a leak somewhere but cannot for the life of me identify it. I don’t think it’s the keg because I have dispensed regular beer w co2 without a problem. With the beer gas cylinder attached to my dual...

Thanks guys

I found this chart. Seems like at 38F a beer gas mixture of 75%N2/25% C02 would get the beer to the right carbonation level at keg pressure of about 32.

Thanks for the response. I just made the dry irish stout yesterday so I have awhile to ponder it, but it's gonna be a pain to take the co2 tank out of my keezer and carbonate the stout in the house at room temp. Wife's not gonna like it! Just wondering if anyone carbs their stout with beer...

I'm sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I'm confused. Rather than carbonating the beer with straight CO2 then dispensing with beer gas, why not carbonate it WITH the beer gas? I mean, according to the tables the carbonation level is very low, which really requires the carbonation being...

This is a timely post resurrection! I just went to Lowes to figure out a windscreen solution for my banjo burner. I just happened to come across this, and it fits perfectly! Genius minds think alike!

thanks!

Somehow over the yrs I've lost a bunch of hose clamps! I'm looking to buy some on amazon but not sure what size to get. Purpose is to attach 1/2" thermoplastic tubing (I believe outside diameter is 3/4") to a March pump and hose barbs on boil kettles. Any help is appreciated!

Anyone know of a mail order that does prepares all-grain kits with everything (hops, specialty malts, yeast, etc) but not the base malts? I have nearly 50 lbs of malted barley, wheat, and rye but am too lazy to formulate recipes and buy everything individually. I seem to recall years ago there...

Hello everyone. I've happily been recruited to make the beer for our son's bar mitzvah party! Now I have to get labels. I really don't want to print them at home - I'd rather order them with a cute graphic and custom messages. Does anyone know of a good website for this kind of thing? Any...

I think I figured out the problem guys. Turns out I never thought to actually stick an allen wrench in the little hole and turn it! That's the screw! Sorry to trouble you with this. Thanks for the help.

So I decided to motorize my barley crusher, and I've decided to direct-drive it, using a gearmotor. My question relates to the way one connects the shaft of the mill to the shaft of the motor. I see that most people use "lovejoy" connectors with a spider. My question: what is preventing the...

First thing I'd do is plug the chest freezer into the wall and make sure it works. Then I'd make sure that when you have the ranco plugged in you have it set right. You have to set it to cool, not heat. If you accidently have it set to heat then you're asking it to turn on when the...
