1. Always clean EVERYTHING that comes into contact with your brew - Everytime. 2. The way that I remember which disconnects are which: GREY = GAS BLACK = BREW 3. Both ends - if I understand your Question. 4. Attach the hoses, to the regulator - then attach reg to tank, turn on. High...

Just a note - Austin HomeBrew : I checked their site, ventmatic was 39.99 - saying they had the lowest price in the America. I emailed them with the link to BrewGuy's site. I had a reply in my email from AHB when I got back from my Lunch Break...

Very nicely done, Thanks also for the tips on brewersdiscount.com I need some more taps and a bigger manifold for my setup. Kilroy

Keep this one for those parties that you go to - (if you have a truck and can load it in to it) Of for Camping - with a small generator to keep it cool of course. Kilroy

From a Wino's Perspective - you could preserve the brew a bit longer by using Potassiam Sorbate (.5 teaspoon/gallon) & Pottassium Metabisulphate 1/4 teaspoon for 5 gallons - mixed to a little bit of the finished wine, and then stirred into the brew. The sorbate does effectively nueter the...

I have 8 6 of which are in use right now. Kilroy

Cornie Kegs are the way to go, definately :)

I second this - Kegs are running anywhere from 12-14 a piece. Not that pricey. Kilroy

Clean and then sanitiser (I use Potassiam MetaBisulphate) and store under pressure. This way I am sure that it is pressure tested when I crack it open for the next fill. CO2 + SO2 = NO BUGS Kilroy

Regulators need to be a high/low combo - you can use a single gauge - but double is better. Kilroy

Hey Jester - Nice work on that, would you mind taking a few pics of how you modified the kegs or the inside of the fridge to accomadate 4 kegs - Thanks Kilroy

3 Things that I could suggest - I am a Wine Maker, and use these, but they work just as well for beer ( I made and bottled hard Cider so this I know) The first is a Bottle Tree - After you wash and sanitise the bottle (before filling) hang the bottle on the bottle tree, you can get up to 90 on...

DAMN!!! That is pretty darn amazing

1 Problem that I have encountered in my Ball Locks - is sometimes - in a (drunken) stupor I will attach my gas line to the liquid out side. For some reason the brew does not like that. With Pin lock you cannot do that - and there are also adapters that I have seen online that will convert a...

I have a small - 3 gallon bin that I bought some cookies in - food grade plastic. I am planning on a Habenero Mead sometime in the future - and will not use any of my other wine making kit - stainless steel spoons and such, I will have to float my hydrometer, and been that is glass - should...

Umm definately wait for your CO2. I tried to prime my hard cider a month ago, and I pressure tested the kegs before hand to make sure they were sealing. Came back to them last week, and pulled on the release valve a bit to see if I had pressure - NADA!!!! hooked up the CO2 and it just...

hmm okay - clean it out tonight then - when I get home. Thanks

Thank you both for the advice - I found that post on cleaning regulators too :) Kilroy

Carbonated all the way - always :) Kilroy

Well - I't turned out that my attempt to naturally condition my hard cider in kegs did not go so well. Something about the poxy O-rings deciding not to seal. (I did pressure test them prior to filling them too - mutter) Anyway, So onto force carbonating the stuff. I got new O-rings, and set...
