Hi all, I'm new to kegging and just bought me first CO2 tank this past Friday. I bought the tank, had it filled and put it on my freshly kegged irish ale on Saturday. When I hooked it up, I noticed that the high pressure side of the regulator is measuring somewhere between 1,000 and 500 (i.e...

I recently found cheap nonic pints! They're at a restaurant supply company in Columbus, Ohio named Wasserstraum. http://www.wasserstrom.com/locator.asp Go to the link and the third Columbus location on Broad Street is a Wasserstraum's clearance warehouse. This is where I got them. I don't know...

Pics fixed....bumpity bump.

I'm still learning how to link pictures. Give me a minute....

(Fixed the pictures finally! Such a rookie...:confused: ) Anyway, Here's the new kegerator Fridge1 Fridge2 I can fit two cornies and the co2 tank on the bottom of the fridge (stupid compressor hump). I can fit add'l carboys/cornies in the top of the fridge, but the shelf won't...

Thanks. And now that you mention it Yooper, I did leave a bit on the trub out of the primary, so that may have contributed to my loss as well. I had heard that you should adjust your hops according to the boil volume, but didn't know by how much to adjust by. Thanks for putting a number to it...

I brewed an irish red ale in late March. Fairly malty, low IBU beer. (first batch btw). Anyway, I started with a 6g boil, hoping to end up with 5. I'm using a 30qt stock pot and thought I could prevent boil overs, but did so probably 5 times, a little each time. I thought I was close to...

I bought used corny's from Brewersdiscount.com. There were 16 a piece and I could tell then had been cleaned. They also offer a set of replacement gaskets for 2-3. I was impressed with them and cheapest deal I've found. No affliation with brewersdiscount, yada, yada....

Holy long thread Batman. I made it through many pages, Edwort, but what I really want to know is does this taste like a hard cider? I looooove hard cider and actually tried to make it last fall with fresh, unpasteurized cider. I didn't know anything about brewing at the time and ended up...

My wife has the same request and loves ***** Medelo, which is a vienna lager. It's malty, but crisp, great in the summertime. I'm getting a clone from AHB.

I'm a new brewer. I used one-step as a sanitizer, and every time I need to take a gravity ready, I'm making a gallon of the stuff. I've already gone through the small 8oz packet in this, my first brewing journey, and I'm wondering if there's a cheaper sanitizer option, or if made sanitizer has...

When you add beono, do you keep it on the yeast cake or rack off? And how far have you moved from your stuck gravity. I am totally content moving if I move the gravity down an few points and leave it at that.

The things that are in my corner is that I still have a bubble every minute or so, so it's still working. That said, I still have a gravity that hasn't moved in 4 or more days, although it's time to take another as I haven't checked since Friday. (OG was 1.052 with a target FG of 1.012. I'm...

I may be in the midst of a stuck fermentation, so I've searched the posts looking for answers, and have found a mixed bag of suggestions. A lot of people unstuck the fermentation, but didn't like the final product, so I'm wondering if anyone has actually intervened and unstuck a fermentation and...

I had airlock suck backs with a 6.5 gallon glass carboy. I understand it is probably happens more easiliy with a BB, but it can still happen in glass.

It'll fit at least one carboy or maybe 2 kegs. I should be able to rack from the primary to a corny instead of a carboy, right? Sounds like I have a new piece of equipment!:D

My dad is looking for some place to store an antique ice chest. The kind where the ice man would come around and drop of blocks of ice and that was your refrigerator back in the day. Does anybody use these, or a similar modern day built set up to condition or lager? There is a place on top...

Thanks. I'll do a little swirling of the carboy and ride it out. Patience is a virtue, right? It's tough, but I'm glad I found this forum. Everyone's advice has been a big help....helping me do what I should do, and more importantly, what I shouldn't do. Thanks.

I thought about buying a filter kit, I think Midwest has one, but I heard they are a PITA and that adds a $3 filter to my every brew. I'm also going to rack to secondary and cold condition before going into the keg, so maybe I'll be clear enough. I just looked and those tubes go right to the...

Today was a glorious day....got my first cornys. Does anyone here cut their dip tubes to reduce sediment? I've read that people do, and it will be much better for SWMBO and the flow of my brewing funds if I can give her clear beer. So who cuts em?
