It seems to be one solid mass... he had it in the garage, maybe too moist and cold out there?

No. You need over 300billion cells. One pack is only maybe 200billion. You need 1.5 packs

I realize this and I'm not trying to correct you but it is generally assumed that the manufacturer states a very low number (to cover their @$$). Most places I looked assume 20 billion cells per gram of yeast. This seems to make sense or we all would be underpitching with 1 dry pack per 5...

It's a secret ($300 CAD)

A 11gram pack of yeast apparently has 200 billion cells available is properly hydrated first. 1.5-2 packs should be adequate.

You should use 2 packs

Thanks for the replies So just to be clear: I found a local add for a full 1 tap keg system and responded that I wanted only wanted the ball lock keg... he replied that he had not only these items but a bunch more including the Mill but didn't want to part out. As I have a Corona Mill that...

I was inquiring about a keg and found out a nice local guy had gotten out of brewing. He didn't want to piece out so I bought the works for a very low price 3x plastic (7G big mouth) carboys 2x glass 5G carboys 1x glass 6G carboys 2x glass 3G carboys 10G plastic fermenter bucket funnel...

Thanks Kinda mixed reviews but definitely would be a big upgrade to the corona. For the right price I think it's worth it to me

40 yrs young. Brew about 18 batches per yr + 1-2 batches of cider + some red whine.

Congrats... I just tapped my first beer around x-mas and never going back to bottles. Make sure you post some pic's of the rig when you are all set up!

So I have a chance at getting a used Miller’s Mill B3 barley Mill Is is described as ‘older but very functional. Is this a Mill worth owning? If so how much would it be worth? Right now I have a corona Mill in a bucket

No need to apologise. My problem appears fixed now. Now on to your.... QD= quick disconnect? I had difficulty like this once and found that I accidentally swapped the gas and liquid posts on the keg so was trying to to force a gas disconnect on/off a liquid post. Also see the post above...

2L starter and one WLP PurePitch pack will get you rolling providing your OG won't be really high and it is a 5g batch

Yes it's called 'oxyclean', 'brush', 'starsan'. Glass and SS are not getting infected and plastic will be fine with good sanitation.

Thanks for sharing that story! Couldn't you hear the gas escaping from the top? It is pretty audable when that puppy doesn't seat properly and it must have had a huge leak to lose #20 of gas!!!

Well I think I probably owe both of you at least a few ounces each for being motivational

Thanks for all the replies. I actually do have a bunch of different o-rings and thought I had replaced the post one but apparently not. I think I will replace the post after this keg kicks as well just to make everything uniform.

Dry hop with a citrusy hop?

I thought so but after you posted this I had a look at it. The new one seemed a bit thicker so went ahead and replaced it. Seems to be ok nowo_O Oops
