Something I've found helpful for tubing/keg parts is using a long narrow plastic planter box (without the holes of course). I fill that up with some sanitizer and then can lay my autosiphon/whatever down in there to wait submerged and sanitized for me. Makes transfer days a lot easier and...

I cold crash my kegs at somewhere near that temp range for ussually 2-3 days to make sure everything drops out. I've never had an infection before or any problems doing this. At this point your beer should be pretty strong and can fight anything that might get to it. Cold crashing for that...

way prettier than mine was. :mug:

when i made mine i had the hose end be able to hook up to a standard garden hose faucet, and then bought an adapter that could be attached to sink. my tubing was thinner than your 1/2'' so i just bought some of the clear tubing from the local hardware store to run off of it and have everything...

check out using oak chips soaked in bourbon/whiskey! im planning to do it myself, and this is the method ive seen being used the most. youll find lots of threads on here with different techniques for this.

Im thinking to make a stout (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f68/extract-none-more-black-vanilla-stout-96969/) and then rack it into a secondary on top of bourbon oak chips and some vanilla beans. Anyone ever try anything like this before? would all those flavors risk washing each other out...

I just got a new kegerator and i was over eager to use it...forgot to test how cold it gets and now i have a partially frozen (some on the top all along the sides) carboy of chocolate stout! Ive already moved it into my room with a little space heater running...what can i expect from this beer...

i was thinking something along those lines...how long would you say to do this for?

Anyone know of any alternatives to crash cooling? My kegerator is big enough for my 2 kegs, not 1 keg 1 carboy. i dont want to have to take out my kegs to crash cool my carboys (ive heard 3 days is the magic number to get everything to drop out) but just dont have the fridge space...anyone have...

its the standard 5 gal corny keg. sounds like ill be good for at least 2 kegs, then ill upgrade. ill try the set it and forget method but impatience will probably get the best of me. @fastmetal: how long do you set and forget for to get desired carb and at what psi?

Im about to start kegging (probably thursday) and all i have is a 2.5# co2 tank. For now im only having 2 kegs on tap and planning to force carb both of them. will my little tank be enough for that? im planning to upgrade later but want to get these first kegs hooked up ASAP and want to know...

any suggestions on how i can convert that to an extract brew?

I found this recipe and wanted to hear some opinions on it before i went ahead and started buying ingredients...what do you guys think? how long would you say for primary/secondary fermentation? im planning on making the extract substitution. Lagunitas IPA ============ 11.33 lbs 2-row Pale...

i used idophore. im thinking that it might be evaporated beer, when i racked it over some ran down the sides on the carboy. any similar experiences?

heres a picture...they look more present here than in reality because of the flash.

I've got an irish stout with a chocolate addition that moved to my glass secondary on 2/14. Its now 2/18 and there are small white spots on the top part of the glass...is this something i should worry about? Beer looks fine, no white spots on it, just the regular little bubbles. Also, if it...
