    Ball lock vs. Converted ball lock

    I just started kegging and one of the kegs i have is a pin lock. I converted it to a ball lock before i used it. You are correct, the dimensions are different, its shorter and a little fatter. The lid is different but I changed that as well to the lid that comes on most ball locks. The other...

    Pressurized transfers from Fermonster to corny keg

    That's where I got mine too. I just bought the thermowell. Specifically I'm asking about the fittings you are using to attach it to the lid. On a side note, I dry hopped this morning. Opened the lid, added hops then I connected a beer QD to my CO2 tank. I took that and connected it to the...

    Do you ever enjoy cheap beer?

    For me the answer is no. When i first turned 21 i tried a few and didn't like the taste. About 7 months later I had a Becks Dark at an Oktoberfest, hey, this was 1991 so there weren't alot of choices. Then i discovered other local dark ales and i was off to the races. Tried some cheap beers...

    Pressurized transfers from Fermonster to corny keg

    I bought a dip tube along with all the fittings you listed. The black washers were the wrong size but not a big deal. I cut the dip tube but it wont fit through the fittings. Now i need to order another one because I then cut a second tube from one of my other kegs. The top of the dip tube...
