I have a question that I am unclear on the answer to regarding stepping up a harvest from a bottle to make a 1.5 L starter that will contain 229B cells. After looking at previous posts on harvesting I am still unclear so I humbly seek the counsel of the group. Should I proceed like this...

I’m going off memory since I’m not near the setup at the moment, but I am fairly certain the regulators don’t say anything about it being primary or secondary. It does say on the label on the housing that it is 200 psi/1.38 Mpa. I know that pressure is coming out of the...

About the gauges, I updated the image above since I paintshopped the wrong ones on. It now reflects exactly how I have the whole thing set up. Sorry about the confusion.

Yes, I have it set up exaclty like the picture. I rotated the seconday's to be sure the flow coming out of the primary went to the high of the seconday. The check valves are in correctly, they can only go in one way so they are practically idiot proof.

After reading the advice I got in a prior thread I hooked it all up. The link (or image if it comes through) below shows how I have it hooked up. But, now I have another problem. Once I get everything hooked up I set my primary to 35psi. Pressure is going through the high side all the way...

Are you connecting a line from the low of the primary into the high of the secondary? Nice set up. Looks like what I might end up doing.

The bright light you just saw is the light bulb going off over my head. Now, it all makes sense. Thanks for all the help.

OK, this is starting to make a little more sense. I guess my next question is what is it about the three gauge regulators like this (http://stores.kegconnection.com/Detail.bok?no=128) that allow them to effectively be daisy chained together as opposed to what I want to do? Thanks for the...

Well, I guess I'm still a little confused, so I am posting the picture of my setup (or link to it if the pic doesn't come through). The one on the right is what I have hooked to my tank. The one on the left is exactly what I can get to add as a secondary. So, how to correctly hook them...

Thanks for the reply David. The regulator definitely fits. I guess my question really is whether the 200 psi/1.38Mpa sufficient for kegging or do I need something a bit higher then that? I can just picture hooking it up, turning on the main gas and blowing the guts out of the secondary. What...

I want to add another secondary regulator to my keg setup which currently is a dual gauge. A friend offered to sell me one but I'm not sure if it is a correct regulator. The label on the main housing reads "200PSI (1.38Mpa)". Any idea if that is appropriate for kegging and can handle the load...

This is an interesting point, but confuses me. I thought oxidation was not really possible at this stage because the yeast is pitched and that will purge all the oxygen. Plus, once the yeast is pitched I though one would want to introduce oxygen to help the little yeasties out? Am I missing...

Just so I understand this correctly. So, you're saying make a 1 L starter, ferment, decant. Add 1L wort, ferment, decant a second time. Add 1L wort, ferment a third time. Done. I take it then that even though the yeast count increases the amount of wort at each step does not? Thanks for...
