So... how'd it turn out???

Did you guys buy from Beverage Factory? I bought a new setup and have experienced similar issues. I lost an entire batch of brew because my regulator over pressured the keg and beer flowed out the picnic tap... just curious if this might be related to Beverage Factory of not... :-)

I agree. The beer should carbonate at the top surface of the beer since that is the interface between beer and CO2. Now there is a high concentration of CO2 at the top and nothing at the bottom... a gradient exists. The dissolved CO2 should begin to distribute evenly throughout the beer until...

Sorry about that... was just having some fun... won't switch pictures again! Rock on... all night long!!!

You guys are good... As homebrewers we all can tell the difference between crap and quality... I've reinstated the quality... KC :-)

You passed on this??? The keezer will last much, much longer! And will never get this hot! Good call!

I'm getting ready to keg my first batch using a sanke coupler w/ picnic faucet. I am trying to find out what size the nut is for the beer line connecting to the tap, so I can just isolate the beer out all together. Would that work and does anyone know what size swagelock fits? Thanks all...

I also like the video... I agree working for Sam would be an adventure, unlike the daily boredom of work that many of us suffer. He's a bit "out there" at times which could turn off some of the peeps here... but I'd much rather be around someone like that than the corpse of a boss I have right...

+1 for BIAB method... very fun way to start all grain!

Dont feel too bad... I boiled my grains for 30 mins before I realized what I was doing... went ahead and bottled and now 5 weeks later the beer is drinkable... not the greatest, but under the circumstances.... Live and learn! :mug:

As I was repairing the pipe that separated, I got a face full of sh_t water... I really enjoyed that bunches!!! :rockin::rockin::rockin:

Since this yeast starin came up again, I thought I would update my previous post... The sulfur smell in the house was mostly due to a water leak under my house... yep... sewer water. I currently am fermenting with the WLP051 yeast... there is a sulfur smell... but it's nothing like I had...

How much DME are you using per 5 gal batch? The standard is 1 1/4 cups DME per 5 gallons...

Boom! I would dump all the beer back into a fermentor and put an airlock on it. Be sure to sanitize everything... and then sit back and see what happens. I'd let it ferment for at least a week, take gravity readings before and after a week or more to see whats going on in there. Whatever...

Here they are... sweet!!! http://www.flickr.com/photos/55702192@N04/5498381924/lightbox/

Yesterday I asked a friend who knows a guy who works for one of the local liquor distributors if he could help me get a keg for a keggle conversion. He said he'd look into it. This morning he told me to come by his house and he has both a 1/2 bbl keg and a corny keg... all for $30! :ban:

How about ditch the stainless hardware all together and use something like this? http://www.fastenercomponents.com/images/large/plastic_components4.jpg

I made a foam box to help control temps for mashing and fermentation.. or this http://www.flickr.com/photos/55702192@N04/5495117428/
