I'm sorry, I'm not sure what brand regulator it is. It came in a unlabeled box when i bought it.
I haven't had a chance to return it yet. The store is a little ways from where I live, but the tape seems to be holding up fine for now. I tested for any leaks and none so far.
When I go to...
I know usually diacetyl is not a desirable flavor in beer, but I wanted to try something just for fun. I don't really want any esters just a strong diacetyl flavor.
Does anyone have any good info on controlling diacetyl during fermentation? What yeast strains are known to have a high diacetyl...
Thanks everyone for your help! Finally figured out what was going on. The regulator had a faulty release valve. When I turned the co2 open the valve would just immediately open. I thought it was coming from the connection. I taped the valve shut for now.
I really hope the home brewing store I...
Thanks for all your help. Nothing seemed to work. I think i'll bring it into my local store to see if they can figure out what's going on. If it's not a good regulator maybe they'll be kind enough to switch it out.

Just tried to set up my keg system. I hooked up the regulator to the co2 tank making sure the washer was in correctly. I tightened it with a wrench as much as I could, and I Hooked up tubing and everything else. I thought everything looked good, but when i go to open the Co2 tank the regulator...

If i add the blueberries into the primary and cold crash the...
I am trying to find the 5L keg tap system used in this video( around the 5:40 minute mark):
I am looking for a tap system that will inject CO2 into the 5L keg to prevent oxidation and allow longer storage. I don't necessarily need that specific tap, but it seems to be perfect for my needs...
