A great beer that I always do during the extremely hot summers in the az desert is the kiwit from the extreme brewing book. Its amazing. The only downside is that at times kiwi can be pretty expensive.

I agree with pint4pat. For my vanilla porter, I cut up and add four madagascar beans and submerge them in rum instead of bourbon during the primary. However, I only add the beans to the secondary, instead of adding the whole mixture - rum and all. The vanilla flavor is not overpowering at all...

There is a good recipe for abita turbodog in the byo's 150 classic clone recipes issue, if you happen to own that.

Sweet guys! Thanks for the help!

So, as long as I use only two kegs at a time (one to drink and one to force carb until it's ready)I will not need an air distributor?

I am planning on using a dual body CO2 Beer regulator to dispense/carb two beers at one time... would i need an air distributor to serve multiple kegs?

Thanks for all the help guys! Ill make sure to switch the ports and lube all the rings next time. Someday Ill get the ropes of kegging down, it's SO much better than bottling!:mug:

The notched port is on the out-side...I think that's the one its supposed to be on. Sorry, im a newb to kegging. Anyway, I lubed the O-ring on the lid. Should I also lube up the smaller o-rings on the in and out-ports as well?

I got it off! Yay!:ban: I just ran some hot water over the quick disconect still stuck to the out port and it loosened right up and I could pull it off with some pliers. Thanks again for all the help guys, it's greatly appreciated!:D

The quick disconnect is black. (It's a picnic tap). I unscrewed the port of the keg itself but I cannot get the disconnect off of it. The keg has been purged of all co2 and beer, it is completely empty.

The quick disconnect on the out port of my keg is stuck. Ive tried running hot water over it (as it has been in the fridge for about a week and a half) with no avail. Any tips or advice to get it off/ prevent this from happening in the future?

YES!!!! Thank you so much, the second I laid eyes on this thing, I knew I had to have it. Thank you again Rick! You the man!:ban::ban::ban:

Ya I checked that sites among others. However, I was only able to find a kit that had a co2 tnk, regulators, and all the line and quick disconnects. It doesn't include any cornys. :(

Hello, I recently found a thread somewhere on the site for a kegging kit that included 3 - 5 gal. corny kegs, a 5 lb co2 tank, regulator, and all the lines, quick disonnects, etc. However, I cannot seem to find this thread that contained the website offering this kit. Just my luck, when i...

Ok awesome. I was just worried about leaving the portable charger on the keg thats why I took it off and CO2 blasted everywhere. Im just gonna leave it on there this time while it carbs. Then ill let it chill in the fridge and add a picnic tap! Hopefully everything turns out good! Thanks for all...

Ok I pressed the lever on the charger until it stopped injecting CO2. The lid feels like it has a good tight seal. So after I let the priming sugar carbonate for 1-2 weeks can I just chill it add a picnic tap on the out-port and use the rest of the CO2 in the cartridge to dispense my first...

Ok but the reason I was asking was because I just kegged it and when I pulled the trigger not all of the gas came out (as I expected). BUT as I took the charger off CO2 blasted out all over the place and consequently I dont think the lid sealed? Should I try it again and this time leave the...

So can I leave the portable charger on the in - port while the keg carbs for 1 to 2 weeks? Is this safe? Or will more carbonation from the priming sugar inside the keg cause the portable charger to become a safety hazard during carbing? Sorry if some of these ?s are redundant or common, but im a...

Ya I think I may try to seal it with the portable charger as well as use lube on the o-ring. Hopefully that'll work out. Thanx for the help guys!

So it is possible to seal a keg using a portable CO2 charger? Should I just connect the charger to the in - port (while having nothing connected to the out - port) and start pressing the trigger? Would this release CO2 out of the cartridge into the keg of beer?
