It is a Home Depot 5.5cu ft deep freezer with thermostat control. I put the bottle on the outside and I can fit 2 5gal and 2 3gal kegs with picnic taps. I am space limited too.

Ghetto-rator. I have young teenagers floating around so I can't quite have taps open to the general public.

I have a quick question. how important is it to sanitize the new beer lines and connectors? I forgot to sanitize the last 2 lines that I put in service on new corneys and I'm wondering what will happen. Noob? Yeah.

I had a similar problem and I got a charcoal filter for my water and it resolved the problem.

What kind of a beer is it?

I once had a fly land in my open bucket fermenter and promptly sink into the wort. Tasty Fly. I think he tried to drink his way out, didn't work.

This is embarassing but what is BLAM?

What IF there is headspace in my jars? I understand that it is undesireable due to oxygenation but can it be a deal breaker if the yeast is stored for less than a few weeks?

I am interested in the answer as I suffer from the same problem. I will review my mash temps too.

I bottled for years and I too enjoyed cracking open a bottle but I keg exclusively now and won't go back. Its just too easy to keg.

I had consistency problems when I didn't stir the sugar in the bottling bucket well enough. It got better but I never really produced a consistent carbonation product. Kegging was my salvation.

I just started kegging and it's easy and fast. I don't regret bottling for as long as I did but I am sure glad I went to kegs.

Interesting, thanks for the advice, urge. I am kegging another batch next weekend and I'll try the other method. thanks!

Seems reasonable. The fellow at the LHBS said that I could hook up the gas to the dip tube side for a few days at high pressure to force carb the batch but I am guessing that is not a good idea if the connectors dont really fit the post properly.

I am new to kegging and have a question. I have a 5 gallon corney and it has the pin lock connectors. There are 2 push on connectors, one is grey and one is black. I notice that the grey connector will fit on either post but the black will only fit on one post comfortably. Is there suposed to...

I am a big fan of Better Bottles but I have stumbled upon one minor flaw. The have an oilcan effect. I went to raise the bottle out of my swamp cooler and the liquid in the airlock thingamajig got sucked back into the wort. DOH, and of course I dont think I used sanitized water in the airlock...

I think I did overcarb. I walked down to serving pressure by using the valve and it pours nicely now. I think there is some science to kegging that I have not quite mastered yet but it still beats bottling!

The output line is 5' at 3/16 ID. I did release the head pressure too.

First time kegger here. I have a 3 gallon keg, 5 pound bottle, 35 degree keggerator and a party tap. I bought this kegging kit from the local HBS and they assured me that the tubing length and diam is correct. I carbed up at 30psi for 48 hours then dropped the pressure down to 8psi. My beer...
