    Komos V2 making popping and clicking noises?

    Hey received my Komos V2 2 tap system about a month ago, at that time I noticed some popping, pinging and clicking noises coming from the unit. Now these are loud noises as this unit is in my media room so as we are watching movies it is an unwanted noise. Anyone else have these issues or...

    EVA + DuoTight + ... Picnic Tap?

    Have had Zero issues with the duotight fittings that came with my KOMOS V2, love the simplicity. I was in a rush and the upgraded reg i purchased had a barb on it and I was eager to get everything setup. What a pain it is to use a barb with EVAtight hose....

    Should I cold crash or rack to secondary, before carbonating in a keg?

    It is in my fermentation chamber. So I have a freezer attached to an inkbird, also a fermotech electric unit that wraps around the vessel. I used it to lager my last oktoberfest. If I were to do that would I worry about pressure while in there as I do not have a second co2 tank at this time.

    Should I cold crash or rack to secondary, before carbonating in a keg?

    Ok so any issues with leaving the beer in the fermentor until I kick a keg out of my kegerator? I do not have another reg and tank to keep the pressure on so I guess I have to wait?

    Should I cold crash or rack to secondary, before carbonating in a keg?

    Alright so I have a couple questions for the brain trust. I just brewed and finished fermenting an American Light Lager Extract, current temp is 68 degrees should I: 1. just rack it to a secondary and then rack it into the keg for carbonating? 2. Cold Crash it for the next 2 weeks to clear it...

    Clarifying, "When the fermentation slows (5-7 days), but before it completes"

    The last lager I did, had me do the actual "lagering process". Once that was completed I transferred it to the keg and carbonated it that way. This recipe doesnt talk about lagering at all.... I plan to also keg this beer when it is done fermenting...

    Clarifying, "When the fermentation slows (5-7 days), but before it completes"

    I am doing an American Light (for the wife) and it says to do a two stage fermentation (I understand it isn’t the most popular topic that’s why I left it out) for clearer, crisper flavor. I am looking to get it to the straw color and get that clean crisp flavor of a pilsner. I have noticed on...

    Clarifying, "When the fermentation slows (5-7 days), but before it completes"

    SO I am looking for clarification in the instructions of my extract kit, it says, " When the fermentation slows (5-7 days), but before it completes ". In my particular case loaded the vessel into the fermentation chamber on Sunday afternoon, fermenting at 70 degrees as specified, had visual...

    Started kegging, now my friends are asking where there 6 packs are? Opinions on Swing top bottles or Howlers?

    So my buddy got me into brewing during Covid, he was sharing his homebrews with me and finally decided around when Covid hit to start brewing. I loved it and embraced bottling my beers and giving my buddies 6 packs in exchange for empty bottles. Now as most of you know, bottling is a pain, the...

    Komos Kegerator eva barrier stock beer line length enough? or should it be extended?

    Curious what people have done with their Komos Kegerators. They shipped stock size line and I am currently utilizing that length which is maybe 3.5 feet from tower to ball lock. With the Komos, the tower has a cooling fan which is great but I am wondering has anyone extended their lines? Would...

    4mm EVA onto picnic tap?

    I wouldn't use a heat gun on the EVA tubing, boil water and dip it. Goes on much easier..

    Attempting to force carb, 1st try

    I have an Oktoberfest lager that just finished the Lagering stage. It is at 38 degrees when I racked it to the keg and sealed it. I keep seeing there is a table but it doesn’t make sense to me. My kegerator is at 34 degrees and it looks like hooking the gas line to the liquid post add 5 psi and...

    Kegerator shipping damage? Komos V2

    @Knightshade this is plastic as well, just seems like whatever that was round and put on top of the box <which left a mark on the top of the box> stressed the plastic portion closest to the door and created "white" stress marks in the plastic. Its cosmetic but I am sure yours doesnt look like...

    Kegerator shipping damage? Komos V2

    Yeah, I alerted my LHBS which is who I got it from and sent her pictures. She said she would contact them to see if this was "normal". Just wasn't sure what to expect as typically all my appliances have been white glove delivered and hooked up
