    problems with fermentation/yeast?

    Thank you, I tried to ask this question early on so that I wasn't banging my head later on.......I'll pull it up to 68 and then see where it goes once I put it directly next to a heat source.......This house is old and the windows show it so the furnace kicks in quite a bit....... But i'm glad...

    problems with fermentation/yeast?

    Sorry, but you’re above my pay-grade but I do have a question that could help me out....seeing you have some experience with a climate similar to mine..... I'm on my first brew and I’ve really been concerned about fermentation of my brew so I think: "Rule No. 1" Keep your mitts off the...

    Help - Leak!!!!

    For me, my relationship with Morebeer has been the equivelent of a relationship of an abusive girlfriend. I got my kit at the begining of the summer then when I found out that I had to get a new kettle they were out of stock. It took more then a month to get back in stock so I waited almost...

    Hi, I’ve just gotten a new brew Kettle from www.morebeer.com and it’s a nine gallon with the two welded ½ inch threaded openings in the front. Well, I’ve been waiting all summer to get started and it finally got here. I ordered it with a thermometer and it was supposed to come with a ball...

    101 Dumb Questions about Kegging

    No, not really here to argue.......I just meant point & counter point.......;) Ok, that's what I thought. I didn't figure there would be much difference. I'm just out to get a fine product into my fridge.........that's the bottom line......... :drunk: I'm glad to know that you haven't...

    101 Dumb Questions about Kegging

    Two points: 1. I believe that's the very definition of a counter pressure filler, what I was trying argue is that the bottle is exposed to oxygen when you lift the filler out. So, what I really wanted to know was what is the difference from the amount of oxygen from lifting the filler out as...

    101 Dumb Questions about Kegging

    Otherwise guys, I think I've gotten things pretty much figured out with the exception of one small detail. When I got the setup, the woman I was talking to “swore up and down,” saying that I would need a "Counter Pressure Bottle Filler." What I originally planed to do was fill X amount of...

    101 Dumb Questions about Kegging

    Actually, that's a good looken' rig....a bit more sophisticated then I would like to have but it still looks like a good setup. If anything, I'm thinking about getting more ball kegz in the long run for both adging and fermentation because they sure as heck take up a lot less space....

    101 Dumb Questions about Kegging

    I found it, there is a gas distributor in the area. I tried a hardware retailer but they didn't sell just pure CO2, they have a 80-20 mix with argon...... I think when I do go get it charged, I'm going to see if they deliver.....it would be nice to have 50 or 100 pounds of gas so you only had...

    101 Dumb Questions about Kegging

    Ok........let me put it differently......... I got the Kegging to have the extra storage space......I would only tap soda or beer twice a year. If there was a church of the brown bottle, I would be its head priest. I will still be a bottler........I undestand the second pressure gauage, but I...

    101 Dumb Questions about Kegging

    I would guess this very close to the truth......I forgot that CO2 is mixed with propane for welding........ YES, THAT'S IT, THAT'S IT.....damned getting old......I forgot all about that. That's why I thought of a propane place because half way accrost town, there is a welding supplier and...

    101 Dumb Questions about Kegging

    That’s what I suspected, but how do you calibrate....open the top valve until you get the desired PSI and then adjust the screw accordingly and then lock down the bolt? I would only suspect this because it seems to me that this gauge is only to measure and to give a matter of convenience to...

    Confusing, no....Gearing up to do both, yes.... I would like to become almost self-sufficient.....not only would I like a better beer (or more variety) but I'm darn sick of buying this crap......I plan to get a kegging system with two liquid tanks to start and one gas with both taps…but I can...
