Like Ruvort said; that's Sanke (used for commercial kegs). Corny keg ball/pin lock connectors are smaller, and have separate gas & liquid connectors. EDIT: Here's what ball/pin lock look like:

Wolfram Alpha says 2.9 fl oz of honey, or 5.8 Tbsp. http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=volume+of+123+grams+of+honey

Some pin-lock do have a pressure relief on the lid. I have one, but it doesn't have the manual release that the ball-lock ones do. I also got the threaded fittings instead of the barbed ones, so my lines can connect to both ball-lock and pin-lock connectors

It tastes like a Werthers. I might have to do that, unless it will improve with more lagering. My original starter was only 2 qt because that was the biggest vessel I had for it. EDIT: On second thought, I just realized that I have an Oktoberfest lager that will be going into secondary...

Yeah, the large amount of foam and krausen made it hard to measure too. And I ferment in a bucket so I can't see inside easily. Also, 2 to 5 points is how far off my FG prediction usually is anyway.

I just sampled my lager that has been in the fridge for almost a month, and was blown away by butterscotch flavor. I'd tasted it at every point in the process and never had a hint of diacetyl, so I was surprised to find it so strong. Is there anything I can do to fix it now? The beer is a Bock...

Just move it to somewhere warmer after you bottle, it will wake the yeast up either way. You may just have to leave it in the bottle a little longer (like 4-6 weeks). Just taste it every week starting at 3 weeks until its delicious. Cheers!

No bubbling is normal for a secondary, especially at that temp. The yeast is done making alcohol for the most part, so it's also not going to make much more CO2 at this point. Just bottle normally (and make sure you bottle condition somewhere warmer -- more like 70F)

Okay, thanks! I wasn't too worried, but I wanted to see if there was an easy way to make it settle out. I guess I'll just avoid it with the siphon. I tried to search for similar posts, but I didn't find any until I created this one and it listed the "similar threads" on the bottom. It's similar...

The lights were on, but there aren't any lights close enough to illuminate it enough I thought it might be, since the yeast I used is medium-low flocculation (wyeast 1056). Also, I forgot to add the whirlfloc tablet during boil. What should I do about it? Bottle anyway?

I transferred my beer into my secondary last Tuesday and added my dry hops (pellets in a mesh bag). I was going to bottle my beer today, when I noticed some strange white blobs suspended in it. I checked on it twice in between, and didn't notice them, only white sediment on the bottom. Here is a...
