    Need to Carb 4 kegs...Kegerator only holds 2!

    I still disagree. Using more numbers, assume he wants 2.6 volumes at 38F. This requires ~12 psi at 38F. If he then warms the keg up to room temperature (70F), the pressure in the headspace of the keg is 13.1 psi (from the ideal gas law, p2 = p1 *T2/T1). The chart tells us that to keep 2.5...

    Kegerator Temp Control

    https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/ebay-aquarium-temp-controller-build-163849/ Much cheaper than the other controllers. $30 with shipping from hong kong, ~$5 at home depot or lowes. Easy to wire up.

    Need to Carb 4 kegs...Kegerator only holds 2!

    LongDukDong - Yes, you would periodically have to hit them with some pressure to make sure they carb all the way up. shortyjacobs - once he takes those kegs out of the fridge, CO2 will come out of solution, so his kegs will be undercarbed. He could use your method, but then when he takes...

    Thermometer is off

    I have a similar problem with my thermometers and really want to hit my temps. I know that the Thermapen is great, but does anyone know of anything cheaper that is also good? I've recently moved to all grain and kegging, so money is a little tight now. How do Type K thermocouples with a...

    beer line

    Although I'm no expert, I think beer line is smoother on the inside. Although this is suitable for food/liquid use, I would assume it isn't meant for beer use. This may led to CO2 coming out during the pour -> foamy beer. Hose from kegconnection...

    Tin in the mash?

    Not sure. I know after 2004 the wire is EU compliant, which I am fairly certain means lead free. Not sure when this was manufactured/bought though. No lot number on the spool. :o Oops.. its 12 gauge, not 6. So it would work but it wouldn't be pretty. All the "normal" (plastic sheathed)...

    Tin in the mash?

    Not sure if this is the right forum, sorry if it isn't. I am building an MLT using FlyGuy's method with the steel braid. I am concerned about the braid getting crushed, so I want to support the braid internally. I have some 6 gauge tinned copper bus bar that I want to wrap like a spring, is...

    MLT Design: Water Supply Hose vs. Manifold vs. Mesh Bag

    I'm making the jump into AG and am making my MLT. I have been deciding on the lautering method, with the three above options. I think I've decide on the water supply hose like flyguy's build, but I haven't seen many people that use a mesh bag instead of some kind of manifold in their MLT. Is...

    Growler on stirplate success?

    I made my stir plate last week, and used it for the first time last night with a brown growler. It took a try or two to get it centered, but it is working well
