    Thanks guys. I have been able to find so much by just searching. I kind of view this site as an information archive. The more information and articles the better!

    Regulator problem - creeps up to 60 psi!

    Update: After further problems with regulator creep I took my regulator apart one more time and found the culprit. The O-ring in my regulator cartridge had a small tear in it which caused leakage and pressure creep. After taking off my old O-ring(broke in the process) I took it to Lowes and...

    Who cares if head retention sucks?

    I will agree with OP that if the beer tastes good, head retention isnt important to me. I think head retention is important for the total package, but if it doesnt have it, thats fine. Its like a hot chick with pointy elbows. It would be cool if she didnt have pointy elbows, but im not gonna...

    SWMBO says....

    My wife has done the same thing at one point a couple years ago.. I just said whats the problem? Im at home, I dont drive, I dont act stupid, I dont get mean, I just sit on the couch and relax. She still had a problem with it but I did it anyway. I didnt think it was right for her to try to...

    OH MY GOD MY LEGS (exercise pain thread)

    Actually, theres no correlation between lifting heavy and flexibility. You dont lose flexibility from lifting heavy. Everyone has different goals, there's people who have squatted heavy (by squat I mean parallel or bellow parallel, not 1/4 squats like 90% of people do) and have no issues...

    Separate each individual hop pellet into separate bags. Smell each one and separate into groups. Or maybe not... lol

    OH MY GOD MY LEGS (exercise pain thread)

    What's with all the high rep stuff guys? Leave that for the girls. How about some heavy squats and lunges? Squat on leg day, Deadlift on back day, Bench on chest day, throw in whatever accessory lifts you want, eat protein, and get big.

    2 week Fermentation advice APPRECIATED!

    I agree. It is a very passive hobby. 2 weeks is really the minimum, 3(or 4) is best!

    Regulator problem - creeps up to 60 psi!

    Update. After taking apart and blasting with canned air, cleaning and wiping, have no more issues. Further searching found this about creeping pressure: Creep Test - Regulator creep is a phenomenon in which delivery pressure rises above a set point. Creep can occur in two ways. The first is due...

    Easy and free solution to my foamy beer...

    Last night I held the tap up high so the line was going upward to fill my glass at just above eye level. No foam, perfect glass of beer every time now. Fridge at 42 degrees, keg pressure at 10psi with a 4 foot line, have been having half foam/half beers for a while. I guess I really do...

    is kegging worth it?

    I think it's worth it, but thats completely up to you. Cost can be somewhat high, but you save a lot of time. No more bottle day taking an hour or more, just rack to a keg. Theres a lot of issues that come with kegging as well, such as portability and you lose the simplicity of bottling.

    Regulator problem - creeps up to 60 psi!

Ordered the Chudnow Regulator Rebuild Kit from kegconnections so well see what transpires. Ill keep this...

    Regulator problem - creeps up to 60 psi!

    I bought a single keg setup from kegconnection about 3 months ago and just recently have been having a problem.. I rack my beer to a keg, purge, set my regulator on 10psi, and the next morning when I wake up the pressure guage reads 60 - 80psi, sometimes all the way around. one time I came...

    FlyGuy's T-siphon: a $3 replacement for an autosiphon

    Used it last night, and screwed it all up. Ended up leaving about 6 beers worth in the primary because I was just pissed. Got suckback that went down to the keg a couple times, hose curled, couldnt control its depth, end kept coming up and losing the siphon, amp didnt work causing massive air to...

    I dont think the flow rate is high enough... If it were, it would rip off peoples nipples.
