    How long is too long ~ New record?

    If you are wondering about alcohol toxicity with a fresh packet of yeast, (the alc killing the fresh yeast) - you might try a Champange yeast EC-1118 for example. I do not think it will alter the flavor - but it is a very hardy yeast, and should not die from been added to the brew - perhaps you...

    Ball or Pin?

    My advice - is just choose - I do not think it really makes a huge difference. but Make sure that you stick that type from then on out - for ever and ever. My personal preferance is Ball lock, but I was given 4 pepsi soda kegs and so I had that as my base, and have bought 5 more since then...

    Conditioning Pressure

    I know that over the weekend I hooked up my 5 regulator setup, and my CO2 tank was empty - had to fill it this morning. To check if you have any leaks in the gas, use some soapy water (Dawn Liquid) and a spray bottle (or a brush if you don't have a spray bottle) and spray/brush all the places...

    Cleaning keg Bottoms

    During my little rust problem, I stumbled upon another issue. How to actively clean the bottom of a keg. My forearms are just too damn meaty to get that far into the keg to scrub. Even if I use a long handled brush. So My question is thus: To the people that have been using kegs a...

    Fixing Rusty Kegs

    THanks - I'll look for that. Are you aware of any complications with using OxyClean on Kegs? I have only ever used either OxyClean, Dawn Liquid Dish Soap, or 1Step for cleaning. I put a little Potassium Metabisulphite in after cleaning to sanitize them. That is a wine making sanitizer that...

    Fixing Rusty Kegs

    Good day I have discovered some rust on the inside of one of my kegs, I DID NOT use bleach or a chlorinated substance that I am aware of to clean my kegs. I used OxyClean. Speaking with a store owner this morning - he said that I should be able to re-pacify my kegs - to get the rust spots...

    Condensation Issues

    Hey all, My converted Chest Freezer that I use for kegerator produces a great deal of condensation that obviously puddles up in the bottom of the kegs. What do you guys use to absorb the stuff (ie. to stop the puddles before they start) I know there are products that people use in their...

    Carbonated Water

    Howdy all, I am going to be adding a cornie of water to kegerator so that i can have multiple soda flavors (just add flavor & water) I know that I have to pressure the keg to 30 PSi to carbonate the water. My questions is can I just use regular tap water, or should I filter it? Due to the lack...
