    Sanke keg questions

    You can reuse the ring. Or you can get this kit here. It's easier to remove and replace, provided you have the proper type of pliers. http://www.kegman.net/products/The-Original-KegMan-Kit-%252d-9000.html?src=prn#write_review

    head, but flat

    I have thebsame problem. I used a Brewer's Best IPA kit, started on July 4th. I kegged it on August 21st. I used 1lb of priming sugar and let it set at room temp for 2 weeks. I hooked it up to the gas yesterday. When I pull a pint, there's about 1-1.5" of beer and the rest is head. When it...

    Sanyo SR-4433S . . . MAYBE?

    I'll have to look at the schedule and post it on here. I'll try to do that tomorrow evening...got plans tonight.

    Sanyo SR-4433S . . . MAYBE?

    I haven't noticed the noise, but my fridge is in the garage. Even when I'm in the garage, I've never noticed a noise that wasn't normal. I finally put my fridge on a digital timer so that it turns on and off several times a day. Seems to be the only way I can keep the keg from freezing.

    Is the yeast dead?

    I'm brewing an IPA. It has been in the primary fermenter since July 4th. I'm about ready to keg it, but I've never fermented a beer this long before. My question is, is the yeast still alive to utilize the priming sugar for carbonation, or do I have to force carbonate this batch?

    Sanyo SR-4433S . . . MAYBE?

    I think some Sanyo's do have lines that run through the top, but the 4433S doesn't....or if it does, they aren't anywhere near dead center of the top. Here's a better picture of the top with the tap installed.

    Sanyo SR-4433S . . . MAYBE?

    The only thing that concerns me about the way you did it, is that you need room for the beer line to go up into the tap. Seems like the freezer would be in the way. Additionally, since the freezer tray has been shoved up to the top of the fridge, you may run the risk of freezing the beer...

    Sanyo SR-4433S . . . MAYBE?

    Hey Barhoc11, This is super easy. Basically, make sure your fridge has been unplugged for a day or two and that it is at room temperature. You do NOT want to attempt to bend the freezer compartment down while the line is cold. (The freezer compartment is what cools the entire fridge.)...

    Time to transfer to secondary?

    I used what came with the kit. It's a Brewers Best IPA.

    Time to transfer to secondary?

    True. This is my first IPA though, and I like a good hoppy beer. Any recommendations?

    Time to transfer to secondary?

    Hey guys...I have an IPA going right now. It's only been a week. I've just learned from this thread that I need to let it set for at least 4 weeks, so I'm really glad I found this thread. The kit had two packets of bittering hops and one packet of aroma hops. Do you guys recommend dry...

    Do you refrigerate the keg when naturally carbonating?

    Hey guys...I am new to kegging. I forced carb'd my first batch, but I want to naturally carb the second batch. I've found out how to do it, with respect to how much corn sugar to add, how to seal the keg, etc......but I can't find out whether you're supposed to chuck the keg into the kegerator...

    Sanyo SR-4433S . . . MAYBE?

    I know this thread is old, but FWIW, I was able to bend down the freezer compartment on the Sanyo SR-4433S. It's too small to fit two kegs..but it fits one with the CO2 canister.

    Added Yeast Too Soon?

    Hey guys...I'm a newb...and I think I screwed up. Go figure, right? I KNOW I added the yeast to my brew too soon, but how long does it take to kill the yeast? I didn't have a thermometer handy, and didn't think I had enough time to get to the store and back before I had to add the yeast. The...
