    Corny Keg Carbonation Question

    In general, I believe in being reasonably cautious, but no need to be nervous in this situation, you have a regulator on your tank that shouldn't need to be set higher than 30psi using any of the methods mentioned. You also have a PRV on your corny that will vent way before you get anywhere...

    Mash tun with home depot cooler

    I have the one bobby posted from brewhardware, I went for a week vacation this year and left a full 10g igloo cooler in my living room (by accident). No leaks at all. Carpet underneath was quite cold from the icewater in there, but bone dry.

    Don't you hate it when... post your story

    The draft system at my family's "go to" restaurant for birthdays has been non-working for the last two months... and have a bottled beer list that hasn't been updated in over a year. As we are well known customers, I actually offered to try to fix it for them as I am thinking they are down on...

    Cooler conversion kit?

    By the looks of it and the description, the one in the last post is for a thin-walled vessel. Most coolers are thick-walled. This is the one I used with my 10g Igloo Variable Length Weldless Bulkhead Not sure exactly what you are trying to put a bulkhead on, but thought you might want this...

    Make liquid post larger for floating dip tube

    As mentioned earlier, you likely got an out of spec tube. I have 3 of the floating diptubes, no problem with the fit of any of them. I would return it for a replacement or try a replacement tube like this? Dip Tube for Torpedo Keg - Gas In (Stainless) | MoreBeer

    How do you Mash in w/BIAB?

    I do this too, and also have efficiency issues, even with a dunk sparge. It is nice, though, to just grind straight into the bag in the mash tun.

    Battery Powered Lawn Equipment

    I bought the Greenworks 60V twin blade mower, mostly so I can mow early in the morning and not upset the neighbors, but can't comment on that item, haven't used it yet. After a few fails with "expand-it" capable gas-powered strimmer trimmer power heads, I am consider the greenworks 60v...

    Best way to transport a keg- Pressurized headspace or no?

    I repurposed my 10 gallon igloo mashtun cooler as a keg cooler, cornies fit perfectly in there, so much that I bought a few extra for just this purpose. As stated earlier, the corny is drawing off the bottom, so the top few inches out of the ice are no big deal. Then, I use about 10 ft of...

    Hard Seltzer Should be cheaper than beer?

    I have made a few batches for friends and co-workers. It is crazy cheaper than any beer I have ever brewed. We have a few local brewpubs, one has several selections of seltzers, the others don't (apparently trying to stay "true to the beer"), guess which one is packed every weekend?

    Issues with slow end of frementation with BIAB method

    And that is why it was fermenting longer than you expected. Kviek only runs fast when at higher temperature. Your fermentation time is typical for kviek at the temperature you were at.

    Issues with slow end of frementation with BIAB method

    If you are trying to chill the kveik to non-kveik (but more typical) fermentation temperatures, then that would be why it is taking so long. Kveik can be done in a few days, but you have to keep the temps much higher, like 90-95F in order to accomplish that. Also, people have reported that...

    What causes kegged beer to go flat soon after pouring?

    Different glassware? If so, maybe the glassware for the stout wasn't as clean?

    CDC guideline for 'No Rinse' (???) sanitizing with Chlorine Bleach ???

    Maryland requires a minimum of 50ppm.

    CDC guideline for 'No Rinse' (???) sanitizing with Chlorine Bleach ???

    Sure, a lot of commercial dishwashers use chlorine as the sanitizer, it is not rinsed. Commercial kitchens basically can choose high temp water, chlorine, iodine, or quaternary ammonium for their sanitizing (at least, as per the health department in my area). There is no "final rinse" of the...

    Summer Ale - help needed

    Sam Adam's Summer Ale has Paradise seed to give it that bit of something... if that is something you care to aim for. I have only ever added it to the boil, so I can't offer a suggestion on how to add that in a sanitized manner that would keep the flavor.

    What I did for beer today

    It got worse the next day, so rest assured I did go see the doc who sent me to a surgeon, who after the major blister ruptured, patched me up. Only real downer is I am on an antibiotic, so gotta lay off the sauce for 10 days or so. Which reminds me, that was a week ago, probably time to keg...

    Favorite/Worst Cheap Beer?

    What I did for beer today

    Yikes! I am fortunate it is only my left arm and I have a very high tolerance for pain. I am bandaged up and trying to knock myself out with some skeeter pee! Rather not get into details (jt is kind of gross right now) , but if it gets worse, I will likely seek medical assistance...
