I am thinking it isn't the setup as it is the same setup I used for Root Beer for years with no problem. The only difference is that the keg is now in the front of the kegerator as opposed to the back but the door is rarely opened. I agree with you that I need to turn the reg back and see...

Not sure how I would get an infection, it's Coca-Cola and Jim Beam poured into a sanitized keg. Mike

I am using 25 feet of line not because I need to go that far but becuase this is the amount of line needed to balance the system at 30 psi. I used a similar set up for root beer for years with no problem and I know many others use a system with similar specs. Is root beer carbonated at a...

I have a few friends that prefer mixed drinks to beer so just for fun I filled a keg with Jim Beam and Coke. I used two liter bottles of coke and poured them into a corney keg along with the Beam. I did this one morning and served that night with no problems using the same set up that I had...

We have 12 inches of snow, 20 mph winds, and temps below zero here in Nebraska so it's time for a warm drink. We are helping with a baby shower and I thought I would bring some "winter warmer" and recall seeing a post at one time about warming Apfelwein with cinnamon sticks, has anyone done...

Thanks, I do the same with beer but wasn't sure about the cider. Mike

I have a 5 gallon keg of EdWorts Apfelwein in a corny keg. Currently it is in my kegerator but I would like to move it out as it isn't something we drink on a regular basis, usually just when we are having a get togeather. Would it be a problem to keep it at room temperature? Mike

+1, It's like asking if there is an advantage for an IPA over a Cream Ale. No advantage or disatvantage, just different. Mike

Is anyone running a 100% nitrogen set up as opposed to beer gas (75% Nitro 25% C02)? I see it mentioned in this thead and on a few other post here and there but I am having trouble getting a true consensus on whether or not this will work. My situation is that I have a WineKeeper (wine on tap)...

Thanks. Looks like a simple method. Is real ale usually drank young? If I made a three gallon batch and split it three ways would it be a problem if it were a couple of months until it was drank, obviously once each individual container was opened it would be consumed over a few days but the...

I wonder the same thing. I have made this twice and as suggested I added 2 pounds of sugar, it usually ends up at 10% ABV or so. What would happen if you added 3 pounds of sugar, or 4, or 5?

Thanks Chucke, looks like an excellent method. Can you tell me more about how you go about making and serving? Obviously the first step is brewing the beer and starting fermentation and from what I have read you should rack to the serving vessel when the beer is about 2 points from...

Hopefully you have better luck than me, I bought 4 of these and the silk screen has come off in various places on each one. I contacted Sam Adams customer service twice and they replied after several weeks and promised a followup but it never came. I really wasn't that impressed with the...

I usually always have NB Tongue Splitter in tap, love the taste dry hopping gives a beer. Mike

I have it, it's a good book in my opinion. One thing to be aware of is that there are quite a few recipies so the book isn't really as long of a read as it appears. Mike

Is there any reason that you couldn't solve many of the concerns by storing a volume you could drink over the period of 3 or 4 days? You would need to have an excess of kegs (which I do) to make this happen but why couldn't you brew 5 gallons of beer, split it between three kegs, a gallon, a...

Actually there are several people serving real ale or cask ale out of a corny keg. Mike

Not sure what you mean by pressure barrel but if you are talking about a keg, yes this is possible people do it all of the time. That is how I carbonate my kegs. Mike

I am thinking of trying my hand at real ale and have a few questions. I have been reading here and other places on the net and learing a lot. It seems as though one of the biggest issues people face is that it is usually not possible to drink 5 gallons over the course of a few days if it's...
