    How long will my keg carbonation last

    I think what he meant was if the head space is small relative to the volume of beer, the change in carbonation won't be significant. For a back of the envelope calculation, consider 5 gallons of beer with 0.5 gallons of head space, carbed at serving temp at 15 psi gage pressure. That's 30 psi...

    Exploding growlers

    I really don't understand what you are trying to say with this post, other than that it appears to have inflammatory intent. Also, you seem to have ignored my post, in which I explain why I think the usage of the word "debunked" may be appropriate.

    FAQ: Aluminum Pots for Boil Kettles?

    I guess it depends how you define the word "debunked". Different people may have different ideas about that word. Can scientists say anything more definite about any other materials? I don't know much about the history of this topic, but if at one time in the past it was commonly accepted...
