Edit: deleted. I don't know what I was thinking. Hahaha

Hi, I have a couple of these pumps that I once used to circulate commercial truck anti-freeze in what was my attempt to build a DIY glycol chiller (didn't work) for my fermentation chamber. If I used a BLC (Craft Meister's to be exact) to clean it and then santize it, would I be able to use the...

Thanks for that detailed info! I've thought about that mirror finish and I'm impressed by it, but since these dispensing kegs are never really seen, I decided to go with Bar Keeper's Friend, a scotch bright pad and 400 grit wet/dry sandpaper. I may have been able to skip the sandpaper step...

Thanks, everyone! Cheers!

Excellent! That is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!!

Hi, (Moderator, please move this thread to correct forum if I've posted in the wrong place.) Does anyone know how to clean/polish/buff a keg to make the stamped info more legible? Is it even possible? Thanks, Belgian Samurai

Interesting timing of your question! I freeze mine for baking. I just posted my recipe for the best chocolate chip espresso cookies ever in the "Cooking & Pairing" forum. The freezer gives you about 6 months to decide what to do with them. I've also made banana nut bread with them, which...

Hi, So, as the title asks, how do I decifer the type of foam head on a beer? Rocky, creamy, etc. Here are 4 progress pictures of this very hoppy beer I just tapped. I am having issues with pouring a glass of foam and waiting for it to dissipate to be able to drink it. My keezer runs between...

Hi, I recently baked some spectacular spent grain cookies. I still have 3 gallon bags worth of grain in the freezer from that brew day and I've made about 100 large cookies. This grain goes a long ways! If you're interested in a phenomenal cookie (that is also fibrous, so don't eat too many at...

All grain; 5 gal 7# Rahr 2-row 3/4# Gabrinus honey malt 1/4# Belgian biscuit malt Kveik Voss Pressure fermented in 2 corny kegs using Trong's Spundit 2.0 Valve @ 25~30+ PSI at 94F~104F. The beer was done pretty quick. One quick note though, don't reference my temps and pressure, because though...

I'm back to report the results. Where do I begin? The beer is good. Drinkable. Hoppy! GRAPEFRUIT! Dry finish (as in a "dry" cabernet). Grapefruit on the back end for a lasting finish. I am probably going to make an avocado salsa to pair with it to compliment the intense tart citrus flavors. I'll...

I guess since the general consensus is the same, that would explain why I didn't find anyone else asking the question. Haha Thanks, everyone! I won't go down that route. :)

I should have clarified, but the CO2 in the bottles was intended to push out the O2 and the cap would keep oxygen out of course. This thought process has stemmed from mason canning jars that were clean, but had a lid screwed on it for an extended period of time, which caused the inside of the...

Hi, I have a theory and curious what you think about it. Why not fill washed and sanitized bottles with CO2 and cap them for storage until they're needed for filling? They would be ready to go when you want to send a guest home with a couple of bottles or bottle down a keg. A bag of caps is...

Okay, now several days later, I have finally had time to really delve deep into the connection issue at the liquid-out post. Luckily, I had this batch of beer split between two kegs, so I still had something to drink in the mean time. Haha TL;DR: Both posts are now liquid-out's. Everything now...

@Golddiggie , thanks for the reply. I will hopefully be able to report back tomorrow. I have hit the wall. Thanks to everyone for speedily replying today in attempt to help me resolve this issue quickly. I appreciate it. Stay tuned!

I like that idea and gave it a try, but to no avail. So then next, I depressurized the keg, hooked up the gas line to the gas post and after opening the keg lid, I open the gas ball valve and inspected the filter between the dip tube and the float. Everything was clean as expected considering...

Yep. Let me get back to ya soon.

The O-ring is also part of the sleeve (1cm or so in length) around the 4mm x 8cm-ish (1/4" x 4"-ish) dip tube + food grade silicon tubing. I filled the keg from the kettle direct thru the keg lid opening. Edit: From kettle to keg, I strained it thru sanitized cheese cloth so, the wort/beer...
