Ok, I am going to trouble shoot the connections this morning. As far as what the gauge reads, does that gauge look like it is of a full tank, even though I only show 40%? Also there is this one metal switch right below where the gauge connects to the tank. I am not sure what this switch does...

Ok, so recently I converted a Danby commercial kegerator to accept both pin lock and commercial kegs. All seems to be working perfectly, EXCEPT I keep running out of CO2. I got a new CO2 tank filled on Friday, drank a couple beers on Friday night, and the tank is empty today. Not to mention...

This is what I tried, couldn't read anything on the hydrometer?

Used a kit from Northern, came with a yeast pack. Fermenting now in a fermentation bucket, transfer in 2 weeks to glass carboy. I'll check the seal. I took a sample, but can't figure out the damn hydrometer, as I just mentioned to @freisste.

Ok, this should be a thread in itself for me but I CANNOT FIGURE OUT THAT DAMN THING! I have purchased now 4 as I didn't see any movement thinking the ones I've had were broken. How does this hydrometer work :mad: How much of a sample do I need to draw to take a reading with it?

Just finished brewing a batch of Phat Tyre Ale Extract Kit w/ Specialty Grains on 3/8. In the kits instructions LINK it says withing 48 hours we should start to see some action. Last night was the first sign of any movement from this batch, a week+ behind schedule. The bucket thermometer...

She tastes good! :) How does she look? Still a bit cloudy maybe? Any suggestions on how to de-cloud her? 115th Dream Hopbursted IPA

oy :mad:, yes captain, going out back now. is there anyway to read the carbonation level? i'll keep you posted, i guess its noon somewhere :) :mug:

Ok, sorry for the delay in reply. Fridge is set at 34 Degrees currently. Since Tuesday I have had my batch connected at 20PSI at 34 Degrees. Do we think it is safe to disconnect, release pressure, and hook up at 8-10PSI to test? Any other suggestions? Thanks again!

This is all so helpful, I really appreciate eveyone's time. Thank you very much, off to the hardware store for a thermometer. Will update as soon as I get an accurate read. Stupid question but I figured I'd ask, is there an optimum temperature I should be aiming for?

Great question, but don't shake my beer :) I'd like to be able to serve this weekend, and/or disconnect for the weekend (St. Pattys' and all), and reconnect on Sunday to complete any additional carbonation needed. I have a sixtel of Long Ireland Celtic Ale ready to tap for the weekend! :)...

The kegs are in the kegerator, I need to check the temp but I'd say they are at optimum serving temp. I did not shake the keg, I treat my beer like my baby, very careful :)

We recently finished brewing a batch of http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/115th-dream-hopbursted-ipa-extract-kit.html. After the secondary fermentation was completed we transferred to a pin lock keg for carbonation. Unlike our previous batches, this time we were told not to use the corn sugar...

Hoping we could get some help. Started this project quite some time ago, and looking to pick it back up to complete ASAP. Was hoping someone could point us in the right direction. We have built this stand, but that is as far as we have gotten...

Bought a 6 gal glass carboy, air lock, & carboy carrier. Any advice for the transfer?

Ok so its time to transfer the Imperial IPA into the secondary fermentation jug. I was supposed to do this a week ago but just purchased a glass 6.5 gallon carboy. Will this delay in the transfer effect my bottling date? It really was ready to transfer on the 2nd. Any advice would be...

OK so I figures I'd keep this thread going as it has been very helpful this far. The new title should be 3rd batch problems! We brewed a Northern Brewer Imperial IPA last night and sat it out in our garage to ferment. When I went out this morning and checked I saw no activity in the airlock...

We have been brewing in our kitchen up till now. We have a big daddy aluminum kettle, and all the other accouterments for home brewing. Been brewing extract up till now, will switch over too partial grain, and then hopefully all grain. I want to get to a 3 vessel system, but don't know which...
