    Keg Dispensing For 4th Of July Party

    Set up and chill down two hours before event. Vent off keg and set regulator at 8 psi and increase as required. Open tap all the way and tilt your glass 45 degrees to start pours. It should stay around 38 degrees. I stack two 5 gallon pails with bottom cut out of one and line the inside with...

    Keg Dispensing For 4th Of July Party

    I use pool noodles to insulate my lines from iced tub to my cooler with plate chiller on ice. Works great when touring in Texas and Arizona in the winter. Are you using a chiller or just a picnic tap?

    Foam board built into the collar or exposed inside?

    Do you need a collar for clearance? You could drill holes in back of lid and use rubber grommets to protect the lines for outside CO2 , power if you want internal fan and a controller temp probe. All can be done without a collar. I can send you a photo but do not know how to post one..Then...

    Too much foam from tap

    I use a syringe with star san and slots cut in the sides of end with an exacto knife so when you push down on centre it causes star san to shoot and rinse out the connection. I also use this for the dip tubes when I clean the tanks.

    Brewing with raw barley and enzymes

    I suggest taking a pop corn popper and torrifying the raw barley. I pop about 2 oz at a time and the pop just shows a white line along the crack. It will give you a biscuit flavour. What country are you in? I would smoke some barley in a bbq and give the locals a new experience. Stay the course!

    Draft Tower Shank Hole Expansion

    A dremel grinder will do it more slowly and so will a round file or a small half round file. Slow and steady wins the race.

    Thanks. I will join the twentieth century soon. This saved me asking my 5 year old grand daughter.

    Landscapers chopped my hops, how badly will my plants be effected?

    Beer is your friend here! Remember you can get more results using honey rather than vinegar. You cannot change what has been done. Give them a six pack and explain your concerns and see what they offer back. Nothing lost and much to gain!!! Remember rabbits chase carrots. Landscapers...

    Need Help To Remove Nut on Beer Tower Elbow Shank

    A sink wrench is your ticket. It is designed to fit in a tight spot and turn sort of like a pipe wrench on a long extension. Will work great.

    Stainless Folding Table for Brew Stand?

    Why not attach a 3/4 inch plywood table top with 3 inch edging and have it on a hinge to your garage wall. ?? It would fold down like ironing boards used to be stored. One set of legs or have two tables folding down and attached against the garage wall when not in use. Think like a camper in...

    Cold Plate Jockey Box: Why cant the plate be wet?

    I have used my plate chiller in Ariona for camping parties for years. I pre-chill my corny kegs by taking the bottom out of a 5 gallon bucket and stacking it on a regular bucket. I then take aluminum core-plast type material or use urethane foam that you would use on a hot tub and put it in the...

    Pressure relief on small batch

    Tie a butcher cord around the stopper and tie to the hole in the bottle. Fill your airlock with vodka and rinse it out and replace vodka if it pukes!
