thank you!

when it reaches its "peak" at that pressure will it then not take anymore c02 when i shake it? in other words if i shake them for a minute or 2 each day and one day it doesnt make noise then it is done?

i guess i will keep shaking these everyday for a few days and then "test" them. if they seem good i will store at room temp and start carbing the other 2 . i will just have to figure how to get them all cold at once before the wedding. i wonder how long it takes to cool a keg with ice?

i have kegged a few batches of beer and always just set my regulator a little high for a few days then backed it down to pour pressure and been pretty lucky. i am doing 4 kegs for my brothers wedding and can only fit 2 in my fridge at a time. so i looked up a chart and it tells temp , volume...

ok thanks! i have always force carbed with co2 but that will take at least a few days per keg. i might be able to get 2 in the fridge and split it. how long does it take to prime with the sugar? i know it will be longer but i could do all at once....

i bought a splitter for my c02 line and 2 picnic taps. i made 4 batches but only 2 kinds that way i only have to serve 2 at a time. while looking for a carbing chart i found an article on carbing and it said to carb through the "out" post so the co2 has to travel up through the beer. are the...

the beer is made. it is setting in carboys a week in to the second fermentation. all that is left is to keg and carb. i guess i should have just asked if you can carb at room (basement is like 68) temp. and the beer frost is not salt. it not only makes ice colder but last longer. salt...

ok so my brother asked me to make the beer for his wedding. He will also be buying a half of something but i have in the making 20 gallons of home brew. 2 kinds, 10 gallong of summer wheat and 10 gallons of a steamer beer (whatever that is). i have 2 corny kegs and soon will be getting 2...

I have 2 cans of munttons lme. the local place that sells brewing stuff had them on clearance so i grabbed 2. they also sell grains and hopps there but so far i have only brewed one "can kit" and i am on my second batch of the AIH summer wheat kit. So if anyone has a recipe for a not supper...

ok thanks guys. I know with some it is a process of temp control over many weeks. slowly lowering the temp. I'm not set up to do that and dont have the room or wish to invest the money into it but I can hold 40 degrees in my beer fridge and have room for my bucket in there next to my corny keg.

Can i make a lager in my old fridge that only gets down to 40 f?

thanks for the info but my stove is one of those glass top jobs. i dont thing i could soup it up. maybe i will have to get one of those things you plug in and stick in the pot. i cant remember what they are called. ..

I made a hopped can kit and had trouble with my stove and could not get the water to boil. after an hour my water was around 195 f and i was pushed for time so i dumped it in the bucket with the extract and the sugar. everything got dissolved and i added the rest of the water, chilled it with my...
