I bought 2 of these about 2 months ago... as Jaycount mentioned it was a situation where the item didn't ship until about a month and a half after I placed the order. But amazon was very upfront about it and it clearly stated that the item wouldn't ship until x date. It ended up shipping...

i'd try setting the pressure to 4 or 6psi, vent the keg a few times and let it settle, then try again. you can up the pressure little by little until you get the desired carbination. i think 10-12 works for homebrew but is a little too high for a commercial keg.

Thanks to the OP for posting! This saved me the cost of a temp controller so i figure I'd post how I got mine working. Just bought a GE 7cuft Freezer Model FCM7DUAWW. Shot of the Thermostat: I unscrewed the side vent and pushed in the clips to pop out the themostat. Once...

+1 ... probally just yeast rafts.

Thanks for the reply beaksnbeer... I'll have to try the oxyclean shake to test pressure and get the 7/8" 12point deep socket. I didn't know the posts were interchangeable but I was concerned that the two different types of posts both had the same pop-it in them. I was under the impression...

I recently purchased a keezer I found on craigslist and it came with 4 kegs. All the kegs are marked as Super Challenger and are Ball-Locks. Two are Pepsi, two are Seven-Up. I did some searching around and found: http://hbd.org/carboy/ballkegclean.htm The Pepsi posts look like the ones...

Welcome! I wouldn't worry about it yet. Fermentation can take 24-72hours to get started.

I'll throw my name in the hat too if the other ones fall through. Very nice item =)

kinda looks like the first one posted here, Lactobacillus: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/post-your-infection-71400/

I'd make a brew-log, on each recipe/procedure make a note of when the "3 weeks of magic" were after the brew day. after several brews with known sweet spots then stagger your rebrew of them and make the "do not drink before" type labels for each. Could try that with 2 or 3 beers in a...

I'd take hydro readings 2-3 days in a row to see if it's changing. That's really the only way to tell if it's done. Could be bubbling due to a temp change maybe?

My Midwest Kits came yesterday! Still debating on which one to brew on Sunday... Berlin Wheat or Honey Ale.... Anyway, I'll hopefully be brewing one of them and some Apfelwein before a BBQ!

Thanks for the info Jeepninja!

Nice set up! I have a question... was the paintball tank you used new or used? I dug out my old paintball equip and was going to do something similar but read that there may have been oil put into the CO2 tank or it could have leaked in somehow. Since you also seem to be pretty...

The sticky at the top has some good info on it- https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/sizing-your-chest-freezer-corny-kegs-75449/ Fairly recent also. Best bet might be to go to Lowes or Home Depot with some cardboard cutouts of your keg diameters to see if they fit. Another thing to consider...

Did you take your OG reading from the brew pot before adding top off water? If you did then you'd have to correct for the additional top off water added. The last post in this thread has an equation: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f36/oops-measured-og-before-topping-off-54691/

Nope. Unless you're ageing on fruit or oak they really aren't necessary.

If you really wanted to keep it simple and lowtech then you could do something similar to the OP, but instead of a electically actuated valve just use a manual one with "Lockout" equipment on it. These might function a bit better than the faucet locks perhaps...
