Is it possible to fill a 20oz Paintball canister with my 5lb Co2 tank?

My thoughts exactly. Unless I have a reason to go to West Sac other than to fill my tank, I am going to Solon.

I recently bought a Speidel 30L fermenter and have a new (to me) problem. I was previously using a glass carboy and had a little space heater in my chest freezer to regulate temperature. With the carboy I had the temp probe taped to the outside. With the Speidel I poked a hole in the top and...

Thanks, It stirred for 2 days only because I got my day mixed up on when I was going to brew, so it sat an extra day. I didn't think it would hurt anything.

Hey all, 1st, I bought a Stir Plate and 2L flask and jumped right into making a yeast starter. I took a half cup of DME, boiled it for 30 min. Cooled it down, then dumped it in the flask, some yeast food, water to the 1L line and the WYeast that I was using. I threw it on the stir plate and...

A couple of months ago I made a recirculating wort chiller that works great. Currently I use 20lb of ice and water in a 5 gallon bucket for my cold water source but today (being Friday) I had an idea. 20lb of ice costs 6 bucks and for the same price (at the same store) I could get 5lb of dry...

Hi All, I want to brew a PranQster clone this weekend and here is what I have put together from various sources. Let me know if I am missing anything. TIA Steeping for 30 min: 1lb Belgian Pale Malt 12oz Light Crystal Malt 1lb Caravienne Malt 90 min 9lb LME 1lb Candi Sugar At...

I just bought a 2 regulator version and sold my single. Cost diff between the 2 was about 40 dollars.

I was thinking about ordering the Honey Brown Ale from Northern Brewer. I see that it comes with 1lb of honey and my question is....what would happen if I added 2 more lb of honey? The reason I ask is because I made a honey hef that had 1lb of honey and couldn't really tell the diff between...

Time to find a very large straw and sit real close to that keg...

It should be fine, I used a pump that maxed out at 150GPH and it was able to slowly move the water

That is a good idea, can save the ice from melting so quickly. I also need to get a better pump, I am currently using one of those ones you attach a drill to. It works but it makes a mess.

My last brew I kept all the water that went through the wort chiller to see how much water I was wasting (California drought) and it came out to about 60 gallons. I decided I would try something different, I imagine it as been done before but I went rogue and figured it all out myself. I...

Used Pin Lock Keg, Beer Kit, hose, and ingredients for my first attempt at rolling my own beer (beligian golden)

Thanks again. I found an elbow, but its 30 bucks, I think it would be cheaper to just mount my CO2 tank outside the keezer or make a collar.

It is a Taprite regulator, I remember when installing it that it was righty tighty so I am pretty sure its got normal threads. Thanks for confirming its NPT, I was just guessing on the size.

Hi All, I need to mount my Regulator in a way that it points um, down? instead of sticking straight out of the c02 tank I want it to face down the side of the tank. I googled for a 90 degree co2 elbow, but I think I need to be a little more specific. Is what I need a 1/2 inch NPT Elbow? Any...

Heya, yeah 5lb for $24

Solon Fire Control in Rancho Cordova off of White Rock. Filled while I waited for $24

I am making a Honey Hef and using Wyeast American Wheat yeast. I brewed and pitched the yeast 6 days ago and the bubbles and krausen have been really uneventful, until today. I checked it today and the krausen is swirling on its own and I am really glad I used a blow off tube, its really...
