I have over 200 swing tops in rotation. I use http://www.austinhomebrew.com/product_info.php?products_id=1322 with the swing tops attached to sanitize them and http://www.austinhomebrew.com/product_info.php?products_id=910 to dry them. Works like a charm. Now I keg. Life is so much...

hmmm.... Possibly the alcohol content was at the point where the yeast was dead...?

The first rule of home brewing is you must be drinking home brew while making home brew.

Mead, well that changes everything...... i know nuttin bout mead.

3/4 cup in 5 gal = 36 Teaspoons in 40 pints That's about 1 teaspoon per 16 oz bottle or 3/4 teaspoon per 12 oz bottle. even 2 teaspoons per bottle may yeild exploding bottles. at 4 t / bottle, I'd dump them back into the carboy to resettle. even if you store them in bucketts, when you...

Hole saw does a nice clean job.

hmmmmmmm. I was gonna make a smart a$$ remark about.... did you get it filled??? but, ok, I will anyway. I don't think they ship them full. Are you sure the sloshing is not just the float?

Scope out Quaffer's thread.... https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/converting-frigidaire-7-2-cu-ft-chest-freezer-162225/ It'll get you most of the way there!

beer = water based with carbonation Soda = same. CO2 volumes are similar beer in soda bottle, why not.

depends on the flippie. From exploding experience: Grolsch ½L no, Altenmunster ½L no, Altenmunster 1L no, Kulmbuster(?) ½L yes. Gosh I do love the control of kegging!!

Good seal, purged well in the first place, can last respectibly for... years. The longest I've seen is about 4.

I usually bottle 4 pints of each batch for traveling with. This leaves 4½ gallons in each keg. I purge 4 times and all is well.

Benny Hill brought fourth the jackalope, Gary Larson brought on the Spamalope, Leave it to HBT to debut the Tapalope! What is the shank clamping upon, sheetrock wall?

lol

If they were swapped, CO2 would be going in the bottom, bubbling up thru and coming out the the top. There would be flow of foamy CO2. Dudes got no flow, either direction..... So far: -tube is cleaned -check valve is suspect :tank:

Purging the air out of hte headspace is quite important I think. I don't see how this ingenuitive(sp) approach would accomplish that. :mug: Eisendrath

I'm thinkin check valve in the beer out may have some blockage. remove it, clean it reassemble, check it for freedom of movement, add a couple of psi and push it in with a ballpoint to see if it flows,

The ½ full keg would have had more contact surface area and less distance to diffuse through to get to the botton of the keg. It should have carbed first,,,, if the headspace contained as high percent CO2 as the full keg. My guess is that it did not, and possibly by far. I think in these...
