    CO2 Backup suggestions

    I'm happy with my KegCo mini regulator. I use it for multiple things but it should make a pretty good emergency backup. Prices have gone way up since I got mine though. There are cheaper but similar alternatives as well. Mine takes the big 74g cartridges and while I haven't tested them for it...

    Keg leak question

    Everything looks like it should be working. Take the gas line off the keg and press the poppet like I stated before. Id expect gas to come out. If you let enough out, when you hook the line back up to the keg it should start filling with gas again and you should hear it.

    Keg leak question

    Can you post a pic of your setup? Another way to degass would be to press down on one of the poppet valves which are the little circular centers of your keg posts.

    Competition Scores

    I had a double IPA place 3rd with a 37, so just made it. An old ale I had in the same comp. got a 32 and did not place.

    Keg leak question

    You should definitely hear gas going into the keg at first unless you somehow already had 25 psi in there. Did you purge the headspace with co2 after kegging? Pull the relief valve on the keg lid and see if gas comes out. If it does then you have co2 in there and you can set your regulator and...

    Keg leak question

    I just carbed a cider at 30 PSI for two days and then backed it down to serving pressure which for my system is like 8-10psi and it was good to go. You can release the pressure and then dial to your serving pressure but you can also just wait until it equalizes on it's own or pour a pint or two...

    So who's brewing this weekend?

    Was thinking of brewing my Black IPA this weekend, then thought maybe I'd do a late Marzen but then I read the Brut IPA thread on here and kind of want to try one of those. I've only ever tasted one so I'm pretty intrigued.

    New Anvil Bucket Fermentors

    I frankensteined exactly that. I was just putting it right in the stopper New Anvil Bucket Fermentors You could do it much more elegantly but I just used parts I found laying around. Since then I've drilled a hole and added a gas post with a bulkhead directly through he lid, which I ripped off...

    Overshoot OG correction

    Like others have said, if you hit your volumes just leave it be.

    First Lager??

    I've only done two lagers in all of my brewing and they both turned out great. Both were single infusion mashes so that wouldn't worry me but it was about 2 months grain to keg. I can't say what they would have been like if I racked them earlier but I can at least vouch for a single infusion...

    Parents who brew...

    One of my little tricks to at least secure two brew days a year is, I brew birthday beers for each of my daughters. We have big birthday parties at the house with out of town guests and all that so I made recipes for both daughters and name them after them and all that. It's obviously for the...

    Parents who brew...

    I have two daughters now and I did slow down some due to time/money at first but now they're 7 and 2 and I can pretty much brew whenever I want. They can hang out with me or play on their bikes or scooters while I brew. My 7 year old even likes to take part and always has. She gets excited about...

    Pennsylvania Chapman 15 Gallon Mash Tun $220

    Here you go. It's a little hard to capture the dent due to all the reflection but I got a couple angles of it. In the straight on shot, it almost looks doubled in size. Again, it in no way affects the function. There are still some tape marks from where the shop had a sign taped to it and please...
