ok cool. i've been hearing conflicting info. brewing tonight. trying to get my info straight.

do i have to sanitize bottled spring water that i'm using to top off with?

thx, i think i'll roll with the glass carboy and just use the plastic bucket to dump extra sanitizer to soak the different smaller pieces. i'll wrap a blanket around it to keep the sun away from it.

does it matter if i use a bucket or carboy for primary fermentation?

nice. i'll try it out on friday again. that will have been 2 weeks exact.

do you think 12psi is too low?

yikes... ok, so... how do i salvage this situation considering i've already got the beer in the keg carbonating?

hey, brewed and kegged a stout. primary fermentation 10 days... 7 days in keg kept around 40 degrees at 10psi... tasted it, not bad but maybe a bit homebrewy and green and low on carbonation... 3 more days at 12psi... tasted it, not much better and still low on carbonation. am i being too...

got a vise, and a hair dryer.... got it off

hey, where do those circular drip trays come from?

don't have a vise. mebbe it's time i got one. i think what i'm gonna do is bring the regulator with me when i go fill up my co2 tanks and ask those guys if they can remove it.

how am i do know if it's reverse threaded or not. i could be tightening it for all i know

yea, i'd like a manual there as well. so then back to my other question... how the f do i get that sucker off? i was thinking about heating it up with a hair dryer and then going at it.

this is a crap photoshop job but you get the idea. this is what my regulator looks like (right hand ball check valve thing is smaller of course) i had wanted to remove the valve on the right and just get a matching red switch one but it's stuck like hell, now i'm just wondering if i...

i don't understand what i'm asking either... lol. what's the difference between the ball check valve with the red switch and the one that is just some brass thing screwed in...
