That makes sense. I added the tank fitting thinking it would work. I probably ought to take it off and just use it as a secondary regulator. Thanks everyone for the help!

Just kegged 5 gallons! 1375

I have a regulator but I'm not positive it is a CO2 regulator. I was pretty sure it was, but I needed a part for it and the guy at my LHBS put into my mind that it may be a nitrogen regulator (I did not have it with me), and if that is the case hooking it up to a CO2 tank would cause it to...

I'm looking for a good Wit recipe, would you mind sharing?

Sorry, misspoke there (mistyped?). I did pasturize the berries, i was between 155 and 150. It's been a long day, time for a homebrew!

Thanks for all the help! I ended up boiling some frozen raspberries and squeezing the juice into the bottom of the carboy. Also added some of the squeezed raspberries. Looks like the color I was going for, looking forward to giving it a try in a couple of weeks.

My first hefe is in the second day of fermentation. I've never seen an air lock move like this!! I had to take a quick video. http://s191.photobucket.com/albums/z286/dylan8678/?action=view&current=MOV00428.flv

I just went and picked up the final ingrediants for Apfelwein at lunch. I'm going to be making my first 5 gal batch tonight!!

I just racked onto some raspberries last night, this morning my airlock was active again and a new krauzen had formed.

I promised the wife I would make her a Raspberry Wheat, and since she lets me spend all of our money on homebrewing I had to agree. Here's my question, do I want to add the raspberries to the secondary or right to the keg? If I add them to the secondary, how should I do it? In a bag or just...

I just used some cheap spray paint for the top. The bottom part is contact paper. The freezer was in bad shape and I had to have it presentable for a party we are having soon. I'll probably end up starting over in a couple of months and doing it right, but for now it looks decent enough.

Nice!! How much did the tower run you?

Still have some more work to be done. Need to add 2 more towers and repaint, but it's getting there.

Thanks guys, popped off the top and tightened it up.

Just finished my kegerator, it's looking pretty good. I have one problem. I installed the draft tower and the part the faucet connects to is loose. I can't seem to get it tightened. Do I need to take it off the kegerator and somehow get up inside it to tighten the part? Any help will be...

Here's a site that helped me understand. http://cruisenews.net/brewing/index.php

Thanks for the advice, I will probably do a extract batch this weekend to play with the new equipment. The kegerator is about finished, hopefully will be fully operational this weekend or next. I did get a good wort chiller with the deal.

That's what I was thinking ... just need to talk the wife into buying just one more thing. I'm not sure how many times I have told her that in the last couple of months. :)

I found an awesome deal for tons of brewing equipment on craigslist. Corny Kegs, converted keg (no false bottom), carboys, 15# CO2 tank, propane burner, and tons of other stuff for a couple hundred. Of course I want to use it all this weekend. Can I go all-grain? I was thinking for now I...
