Nice.....$30 is worth it for sure. The Kegconnection regulator looks to sit lower than the Williams catalog regulator which is a tight fit in the corner of the cooler. However, I can attest to the how it operates now. Although I over carbonated my beers slightly, both my Belgian and IPA were...

Brewer's Edge Paintball Regulator I just bought this....do do over I MIGHT have spent the extra $50 for the small cartridge regulator, but I REALLY like the 20 oz (1.25 lb) paintball bottles now. PLUS I have it on a Q/D that allows me to use it like my 5lb utility CO2 tank to purge kegs and...

You can see from my pictures, the tank and regulator (at least the one I bought) are a little crowded in the cooler. I moved it outside for convenient readjustment and to not cramp all the hoses etc. It DOES fit in the corner.

Moved CO2 bottle out....

I am kegging 2 3-gallon kegs of IPA today to be ready by Friday. What's the best technique to have it ready?

Done.

I have a Dubbel thats 19-days into fermentation and 75% apparent attenuation. I mashed at 149F and have had better attenuation in the past with 530. I am hoping some rousing will get it down a few more points.

Thanks. I am going to test run with it in the cooler. Plan B seems to b to just drill a hole just large enough to run the CO2 line into the cooler near the top. I should have all the parts by Saturday.

Yes please. Fingers crossed

Whutever - how'd you run your CO2 cartridge into the cooler with threaded connections on both sides? I like it and am thinking about the the Williams Brewing 45g cartridges with their regulator.

Thanks Blue and Cpt Kirks. Althought I like the tower, I prefer the compact design of having the two faucets out the front. I need maximum ease of transport. I thought the wing nut type nipple clamps would be problematic....good to hear that I should just get the standard ones. I am thinking...

So I just investigated further and find the kegs fit great as long as the keg with the triangular broken base is in the back corner and sitting high. That base slightly more narrow and fits over the wheel well of the cooler. I just found another one on eBay(I think) and will hopefully have 4...

I think it's 1" ID and 1 1/4" OD. It should just jam right into a 6.5 gal glass carboy

I just received my cooler in the mail and my 3-gallon kegs look just like yours. They fit but it's TIGHT.

Agreed....you cad also attach 1/2" or 3/8" ID to the bottom part of a three piece airlock.

Nope. I mix about 1 pkg of gelatin into a few oz of water (the exact amounts escape me) and pour that into the bottom of a sanitized, CO2 purged keg. I rack cold beer onto that, close up, pressurize it and shake it up. Then I carbonate and let sit. The gelatin takes a few days to settle...

I actually now prefer to mix gelatin in the keg when I transfer from my carboy to my keg after dry-hopping and chilling to around 35-40F. I do not think any hop aroma or flavor compounds drop with the gelatin. The only time I use it in a carboy is if I think the keg will be traveling a lot and...

CityProfile username: timmyr I love the forum as a frequent traveller.....thanks for the contest to get all the good beer lovers involved.

Greg Noonan explains the old differences between crystal and caramel malts in some detail in New Brewing Lager Beer, pg 119-120. He says that caramel malts have greater moisture content and are not completely saccharified. He also says that caramel malt is not kilned as much. Additionally...

I have a pound of Citra from Niko (thanks Niko!!!) and am planning to sub in my APA for either Cascade or Centennial. I am also considering it for an American Brown.
