Can someone tell what your using the smoker for in your brewery? Burner?

OK, thanks for the reply, but... As I wrote I remove my spears easily with a nice tool from Sabco. Correct, excuse me, PBW is a detergent like the ever-popular OxyClean. What I need people to share with me are methods for cleaning the spear. The spring and ball are the harborer of funk...

I've perused the threads and there are some fancy rigs out there that I'm far from building. I remove my spears and use sanke kegs. I sanitize by filling with hot PBW and push through one of my tap lines, open the keg again, rinse very well, fill with clean water and again push volumes through...

I suppose thats about the nut of it, no I'm not going to try and carb with the beer gas, this thread has thoroughly cleared that up! The stone sounds interesting as the force carb alternatives are that and the shake methods that I'm currently relying on or an additional tank and regulator (it...

Juan, yeah at 25% CO2, 38F, 2Vols, 7kft, 8%ABV I'm looking at 75 PSI, so yeah thats ridiculous, huh. If I bring it down to 1 Vol that puts it at 30 PSI which acceptable, hmm! To get 1 Vol, I'd be looking at 1PSI at nearly 60F...uhg! The second part is a pretty good synopsis. Last dumb...

Which part doesn't sound right? When you say set, do you mean the ratio of n2 and co2 in the beergas? I'm dispensing at 38F. I keep a room at cellar temps, around 45 and that's where I store and force carb. I have been priming my kegs, cause like bottles that's way I've always done it. According...

Hey well thanks everyone, I got alot out of this thread and I really appreciate the response, cheers!

This method sounds pretty fun, I've heard a bit about it before. Can you provide any info on the article referenced?

sounds good

This method sounds pretty fun, I've heard a bit about it before, seems fairly logical. Can you provide any info on the article referenced?

Thanks! The Beer Gas I buy from AirGas corp I think is the standard 75%N2-25%CO2 After all this, I just took the keg I've had canned for a week and on the beer gas for a little less than that, released the pressure and put in on about 10 PSI of CO2 and gave it about 50 lap rolls. I'll pr let...

Ahh, got it. Not saying your wrong, just working through it. In fact for interest sake, I just poured a bit of an Imperial Stout that sat on the beer gas at 45 F for 4 days at 30 PSI and yeah its pretty much flat, whereas if it were CO2 it'd be overcarbed. The last chart/intel I need to find...

The N2 graph references solubility as a function of temperature. Please, Sparky enlighten me.

Well, there's good learning here for me thanks. Of course Nitrogen gas can dissolve into solution as logic and Jaun's graph from the engineering toolbox would suggest. The questions are a liquids capacity at given temperatures, and as Bobby points out rate and time. My example was a Porter I...

Ok you've got me considering carbing at a lower level and pushing it through my nitro faucet, which begs the question; Is every pub and manufacturer throughout the world that uses beer gas a complete *******?

Ok thanks for the toolbox graphs, sounds good. You can pour your carbonated beer through your nitro faucet if you like, but I've tried it quite a bit and its ****ed, so I'll stick with 75% nitrogen beer gas because I can afford it :-)

Jaun, I really like serving nitro beer and I'm glad you're interested, but I have a couple strong disagreements, based on experience. First, when breweries condition beer in Brite tanks, if the beer is going to be served on Beergas it MUST be conditioned that way. That is because CO2 is much...

It's been on my mind as I like to prime my kegs w beergas, which I of course cannot do naturally. I don't force carbonate in my keg fridge because I believe colder liquids will require more time to get gases into solution. I think i should be using wort as well, however I've really had...

Anyone have a good reason for naturally conditioning kegs when force carbonating is so much faster and more reliable?
