You guys are too funny. I have about a week to go before I get to try my first batch. I will start to prepare the wife now!

There is a total weight stamped on the collar of the valve sometime on old steel cylinders. There is a flat spot at the base of the valve by the collar and the is a stamped total weight of liquid and cylinder.

Yes there is a tare weight or total weight stamped on the collar of the cylinder somewhere usually opposite the DOT-3AA He should not just guess at the total weight b/c if that happened to be a 15lb cylinder you will blow off the safety. Believe me you will know it if it happens. It looks to me...

Why is this one more active then my first batch? I don't think I filled the first one up with as much water but still the airlock was active but not like this. I did also let the yeast activate for about 3 hours before pitching it, could that be the reason?

haha, this blow off sounds like my stomach after a night of beers and hot wings.....

It is most likely a 20 or 35 pound cylinder being that it was 20+ years old the welding shop should have sent it out for hydrostatic testing that needs to be done every 5 years.

Thanks everyone I did the blow off and it is working fine now. I just can't believe how violent this one is my first batch was not half as active as this one.. I will let you guys know how it come out..Thanks again Cheers

Thank you so much for your help and your picture... do I take the tubing off after violent fermenting is complete.

I think it is a 3 piece, is it too late at this point to add that blow off tubeing?

New brewer here only on my second batch. I am about 12 hours into my brew and the brew keeps foaming up into the airlock and over flowing. Is this going to ruin my batch and what should I do to fix this problem? Thanks Cheers

I am new at kegging and I plan to keg my primary stock, but I thought the CO2 was the carbination. why do you need to add priming malt if you plan to keg?

Interesting, is there any sugestion on how much if any priming malt to use when transferring from secondary to the keg?

Glad to hear it all worked out CHEERS!

Did you happen to over heat the grains usually I heat the water to 150 then take it off the heat to make sure not to burn the grains so to speak?

Carry the Glock 27 .40cal love it! Even though CT is not a concealed carry state, the grey areas are so, that I would highly recommend it.

The Stuart White Co Fire Protection in Milford CT has a bulk CO2 recharging facility. They also hydro test CO2 cylinders. Most of the time they will refill your tank on the spot there is a wait if it is out of the 5 year hydro test date. Prices are very good.
