Buy this to fill bottles and growlers with. Super simple and cheap!

Personally, I haven't found them to be worth it. In fact, I find them a little annoying, takes more time to pull them apart at cleaning time. Also, and maybe I'm doing something wrong, anytime I have had a foamy beer and messed with the flow control, I have not been able to get non-foamy beer...

Yeah I had some off flavors I couldn't pinpoint for about 2 weeks after Kegging. After that it got amazing.

My homebrew side came out, my girlfriend does most of the brewing, I do the business and kegging :-)

Nitro Booch???? I need that

Beware. I have seen many on the forums hear say that these big mouth carboys actually suck. I guess the lid isn't airtight. Do some searches on it.

My girlfriend and I started a Kombucha company in Southern California and I've been helping her get the Kegging figured out (we sell in pint and quart glass jars currently, but have many bars and restaurants begging us to keg). Here is our process, almost seem to have it perfected. Brewing...

The only downside is safety. If you have the pump running, flow valve open, and you unscrew the arm/chiller, you'll shoot boiling wort into the sky/your face. If you unscrew with the check valve in, the ball inside will not allow wort to shoot out. If you take it out just make sure to close...

I filter with cheese cloth before bottling and adding fruit. Secondary fermentation is done after a week. Carbonation is light but that's what I'm going for.

Well, my keezer won't get colder than 39 degrees, its been running for two hours. Tried plugging it directly into the wall, same thing. Guess I im putting a new one on the credit card...WHYYYYY

I've had this GE 7.0 keezer for about a year and it has worked great...until recently: 1. Cycles more often, probably once every 2-3 hours. Didn't used to do this. 2. Compressor runs for a very long time. I have my temp set to 36* with a 3* differential . The compressor has been running for...

The higher your efficiency, the less fermentables you need to reach your target OG. Why is this good? You save money!

Hehe, if you got it show it off right? Took me about a month and a half on Craigslist every day to find it. $150 but it smelled like it was used to store dead bodies when I got it.

Oops I meant 1/2inch sorry. I'll have to measure when I get home, must either be 5/16 or 1/4inch I'm just confusing myself now.

Rev, there are no markings on the tubing but it appears to be 5/16''. 3/16'' is way too small (tried it) and 1/4'' silicone was way too big (tried it). 5/16'' takes a little elbow grease getting on the spigot. If you look at my last picture, youll see some wort on the ground...I hadn't...

So I finally got around to trying to add Velcro to the base. It will not stick to the silicone base at all. Not even a little bit. I cleaned it and dried beforehand but zero stick. I'm thinking it's the texture. Anyone else have any ideas on how to affix the silicone base to the brew bucket mini?

Did you unscrew the pressure release valve before transferring? If that is screwed in, the liquid won't flow. If could have been hops though. I use a Muslim bag for my dry hops and I didn't need to remove it before transferring which was nice.

I went ahead and tried it. Worked perfectly. Purged the empty keg, sanitized the tubing and QD, stuck it on the spigot, attached the QD to the keg, opened the spigot. Without a hitch! Will definitely be doing it this way from now on. Thanks for the insight guys.

Yeah that's what I did. After reading through this thread and some others, it seems like a lot of people are doing in-your-face hoppy beers like that now. I brewed up another batch and added a 15 minute addition to get some more IBUs, so we will see how that turns out.

It was beer temp. The package said 65-70 range on it so that's why I went with 68. I guess I'll have to tlferment cooler and see what happens. Thanks guys
