okay.. so i bought a co2 paintball tank... and it doesnt have any regulator on it.. only the brass fitting with the pin in it... I'm thinking all i need is an ON/OFF valve with primary gauge so that i can hook up a secondary... is that right? I just dont know exactly what i need at this...

Thanks.. thats what i figured... i picked up my 20oz paintball tank filled last night... going to buy a conversion kit.

I have a mini regulator that i purchased for airbrushing.. i used to fill an air tank and use it to regulate the psi to the brush... i am not using it now since i bought a real compressor but its got some writing on the bottom that says.. "Not for Bottled Gas"... i really want to repurpose...

I've been looking and looking for a water cooler that would fit a corny but most are just inches shy of fitting it in with the lid... i wanted to put a tower on the lid.. i thought i saw one on this forum i guess not. I think i'll go with this.. but cut the lid in half and seal the bottom...

I like plastic because you can give the squeeze test. They get tighter or harder as the co2 builds up pressure in the bottle. There is no difference in using glass but you cant squeeze test.

that sounds aweful... but i bet you enjoyed it.. I had someone ask me "why would you want spice and bananas in a beer..." my reply... "So you wont drink it all... "

I once made a 2000ml flask yeast starter for an ipa (1.06?) and had blowoff. My bucket of sanitizing solution looked as if i put an aerator in it. You know like one of those stones that you see producing bubbles in fish tanks.. +1 on the "more fun to watch than any tv show".

Yeast isn't the issue... Barley wines tend to need some time to age a bit before they are ready to serve. You keging or bottling? I would bottle some and age it.

Sam adams 48 IPA i have a bud who knows i like IPA's so he stocked up for a party he had.. It wasnt bad but definitely an IPA. It left me wanting a nice 90 minute however. Sam adams has a way of making things tasty! Its a good place to start i think...

Love to see the old Smoke'n Pitmasters out there. Brinkmann just dont make like this anymore. I bought two of these off of craigslist for less than 100 buchks... and this one i reconditioned.. its absolutely perfect...

Thats good. My reasoning around the long lines is that if the temps are different along the way I think it could cause the foaming... Depending on how your Kegerator is setup. Are your lines rolled up nice and contacting eachother?.. or are they all over the place. I imagine that if you keep...

Four Horseman

is there any other way?...

still thinking about this as i walked by the carboy next to my slop sink that my wife moved around last night... I suppose then this contraption is hight not recomended? You've all seen these that wrap the neck of the carboy?...

So i was browsing the inter-webs when i came accross this fantastic idea.. a foldable fridge? Basically as long as you can rig soemthing to hold it up you can probably lager two carboys (or better bottles....) at one time... And you can fold it away when your done. I really hope this flies and...

Man thats a lot of hops.... I usually do... 1oz 60 min top of boil and add 1oz every 15 min. And then either put one more oz at 5 min. Left or put it in the secondary... Though my IPA's have been labeled more in the style of ESB... I may try to move the additions to the last 15 minutes and add...
