Interesting and good to know. I have mine just held together by hose clamps. Nice and janky. I guess I'll just leave it on then! Thanks

Hey all! Just started kegging. Why didn't u start earlier? I'm curious how long most of you keep your output hose attached? I have the picnic style dispenser. Seems like your beer could get infected If you leave it on for days? What do you all do?

Hey Robby - yes, using it as a fermentation control. Good to hear and thank you

Hey all - I'm new to kegging and following instructions from the homebrew shop I put my c02, keg and regulator in the freezer. The condensation from the freezer builds up on the regulator and I just wanted to ensure that isn't a problem? Also, the c02 gauge reads about 450-500psi and says...

I'll make sure to tear it down and change o rings next time

Thanks all! I should have read this first, but I called the HBS back and the owner said it was from a home brewer that got out of the hobby, so I went ahead and filled it out with my Oktoberfest I just made. Hopefully it turns out ok!

I bought a corny keg from a homebrew store and when I filled it with hot water to clean, it had almost a roundup-y smell. I rinsed it with hot water another few times and star saned it. While the star San was in I didn't smell anything. My question is: is this leg safe to use? Wanted to ensure...

Works well! Seems more effective than filling the entire tub with water to must level.

Hello, I'm fermenting a cider and made a swamp cooler a little different than normal. I only filled the water up about 3 inches in a large tub. I then places the fermenter in there with a wet towel wrapped around it. I've been putting an ice bottle in there each day as well. I have a stick on...

Ok, that's what I was thinking, but wanted to see if it had happened to anyone else. Thanks!

Oops, title should say "bulging" not building.

Hello, I made a great sweet cider by fermenting to dry and back sweetening with concentrate. After bottling, I let the cider carb for 3 days and pasteurized them (ended up with about 40 pasteurization units). Anyway, I cracked one open and it was delicious ( a bit hazy since I didn't use pectic...

Looks like verdict is keep it. It's fermenting away nicely!

Good point, ong. I didn't use more than a tblspn total I'd bet.

I think I agree with you - just going to toss it. Next time I'll be sure to wash with just water. I know what apple blend I'm going for, so next time around should be quick!

Hello all, I bought a bunch of apple varieties to try my hand at making a cider from scratch. I juiced them and made a one gallon batch. The question I have is regarding how I washed them...without thinking, I washed each apple with a sponge and liquid dish washing detergent. I didn't think...

Anybody have an idea of how these companies do this? Another example is leinenkugel's shandy.

Thanks Jammin. I'm curious more than anything at this point. Another example is any of those Shandy's...how do they keep them from seperating?

Hi All, I'm curious how Budweiser bottles their chelada (Beer, tomato juice, and clam juice) without settling? I wanted to make a clone and bottle it, but when mixing a home brewed lager or ale with the tomato juice I get separation within 20 mins or so. Obviously we don't want to be...

Thanks for the reply. Good to hear! I've already rinsed them off with some tap water and stuck them in the freezer. How much vodka do you typically puree with? I'm making small batches, so I don't want to over-vodka the batch
