Mainly because it works for me. The last 2 kegs I've kept the same method and have enjoyed it, and have not had noticeable loss in carbonation of the beer. Good suggestion wrt the tee. Thanks.

Cool! My norm is to carb at 15-18 for a week to 10 days, then dial down to serving pressure (5-8). Likely just set the second keg to 15 and let go. Maybe hook it back up in a couple weeks and see where the pressure is at. Thanks for all the help!

So with that said, should I carb at the recommended pressure for the style of beer, or just force carb with 15psi or so, and let it sit until ready to drink? At this point, I'm really only interested in having 1 at a time available to drink anyway.

I looked at the double manifold, seems like a good idea. couple questions though. I only have one regulator. I'm assuming I would need another regulator as well, or have the same amount of pressure in both kegs (I suppose I could regulate with the manifold check valve). also, what I...

I have two kegs, but only one CO2 line. I want to have one on tap, and the other one conditioning. Question on the steps: 1) carb the first batch on the first keg (AHS Green Belt Pale Ale) 2) start drinking 3) carb second batch in second keg, then remove back to first keg 4) Continue...

yes, and you're right, they need to make an 8 gallon carboy! By the way, moved to secondary just now, and the Gravity measured about 1.01, a little low (1.015), but I'll take it. thanks again.

thanks for the info, I was not planning on adding water, after reading a few more form threads. Will take a gravity reading when transferring to secondary. Should be in a keg in a week or two. My first beer, Sam Adams Summer Ale had almost no blowoff, and none loss, so this was definitely a...

yeah, definitely a healthy fermentation, of course double pitching the yeast likely helped. Just didn't know if there was anything I could, or should, do about losing the beer. Should I add water to bring it back up to the 5 gal mark, or just writoff the missing beer as "the rest will be...

great information, and I have a question to the OP. Did you do anything as far as adding water to bring it back up to 5 gal when transferrring to your secondary? Brewing a AHS La Fin Du Monde Clone (OG 1.085), and had to dump the blowoff 3 times in the first 48 hours. Since then, all is...

Relatively new to homebrew. I've done two batches of bottling, one IPA, and one Sam Adams Summer Ale Clone (yum). Searching on Craigslist, I found an Avanti kegerator for 150, including a CO2 tank, and a used keg (15.5 gal). I think I'd like to find a corny keg (or two), and just use...
