Pulled the tap and got the gear ordered so I can get the tap set up properly from the get go. So until it arrives, I'll enjoy beer from the on keg tap I have :D (which funnily enough has a flow control on it too, which I think it's going to need from the sounds of it). Incidently, how many 5g...

ok, for now, my regulator has a barb, so I'm going to order the gas line anyway and then worry about the conversion later for that side of things. I found this regulator that would probably work fine I reckon: https://www.amazon.com/SPARC-Regulator-Kegerator-Kombucha-Warranty/dp/B0CHT1RXNV. (Yes...

ok, since I'm replacing tubes with EVA tubing, would this work for the whole shebang? Gas line: https://www.brewhardware.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CO2Hose_EVA_BL_FFL Beer line: https://www.brewhardware.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=BevHose_BL_TP_EVA_DUO Tap shank...

ok, the perlick tap is pretty filthy, the beer line connects to a shank on the back of that tap with a barb connection. (going to take the perlick apart and give it a nice soak and scrub in pbw) So if i buy the EVA lines from that brewhardware site, should i just get a new shank to connect the...

I have PBW, no worries. Why EVA tubing? I was thinking of just getting some food grade silicon tubing like I've got for transferring beer from my fermenter to the kegs/bottles. And thanks, keg is a full one, not had a swig from it yet. So I got that one right and just released gas from the...

Well, scored a lovely little set of items off of offerup today. Danby kegerator (not sure on model, but it has a digital temp setting on it) with a Perlick flow control tap on it, 5g corny keg 5lb c02 tank (empty but soon to be exchanged for a full one) and some random other stuff that the guy...

Well, buzzing with replies here :D. So to help carbonation, i ordered one of those lids for the keg that has the stone on it to pump c02 through. Thought it'd be a nice addition that would help save me some time. Regulator just arrived, now just waiting on the other items. Fridge will be picked...

I see I have additional reading to do :D Thank you sir for the fast reply. I had a feeling I will probably need to take some of the shelving out and clear the plastic shelving off the door. That wasn't a big issue and I'm not concerned with a fridge at that price point. This is the tap I...

I thought my investment in equipment days were done. Until i got a second Anvil fermenter for xmas. Then i didn't have enough bottles anymore. As much as I enjoy the bottles, I don't enjoy the bottling part (brown bottles are hard to see into and I tend to make a lovely mess) as much as the wort...

Gallon jugs. What a grand idea. That'll save buying ice too. Thanks for that thought.

haha, for some reason my homebrew is always in demand. Everyone at work wants a bottle or two when i get some made and then everyone at home pretty much shares them, so I'd say yes, plenty of chillers to share with haha. Yes, if I were still in England, tap water wouldn't of been a concern. But...

Yeah, i dumped 16lb bag in the cooler and that was all I needed. And if you buy it at costco, it's pretty cheap for ice. Plus I have some gel freezer packs that I've been saving up for this too. Forgot about those until just now :D But they would make sure I don't need anymore than 16lb

So up until today, every brew day has been a bit of a drawn out affair when trying to cool down the wort to pitching temp for the yeast. Not only that, but it also took up the sink. Today was different, today I used a copper immersion chiller for my 5 gallon batch (so the wort only had about 3...

I have to say, the Anvil fermenter seems really worth it. I didn't bother transferring to a bottling bucket, just opened the tap on the Anvil and poured into the bottles directly. Was this ok? I don't know. But it saved me needing to use a bottle wand and also saved me needing to wash another...

Well, hopefully I can eliminate the carbonation drops entirely and switch to cane sugar if that works out. But thanks for the extra tip.

Thanks for the extra info. I used up my Coopers carbonation drops, which I might add are significantly smaller than the Brewers Best ones and hopefully won't gas the ale up as much as the Brewers Best ones. And then to experiment, I set 4 bottles aside and used the cane sugar recommendation. So...

That's what I was looking for. Thank you.

Rather than start a new thread, I thought i'd just add to this one. Brewed a few more batches of the EPA since that first one was done. Got myself a few items to help make things easier: Some nice 16oz brown Grolsch style flip top bottles and an Anvil 7.5 gallon fermenter to make it easier to...

That looks interesting. My main goal is simplicity and easy to clean. If I continue on with this after the first batch of bottles is chilled and tasted, then I may invest some more funds into something like this. But then I wonder if it's not just easier to go with an all in one system that can...

I love milds. Not sure they're dying out though, at least not in England. I don't live there anymore but every time i've been back home, I can still walk into a pub and ask for a pint of mild and they always have it. Glad you're enjoying yours. For those who said about bottles. Thanks, I'll...
