So all of last week, the contractor was in to completely destroy all of the basement and clean up the mess..........GO INSURANCE!! WATER SUCKS!!!!! Luckly for me my brews were on shelves and in the fridge (both up off the floor) and nothing got submerged.....WOOHOO!!! SWMBO is talking...

I made my last brew the same as all the rest. Put the same amount of sugar...etc..... Either our alcohol tolerance is getting better or it's pretty weak. We each had 7 or 8 and we weren't really feeling much. It bubbled and went on like normal. Any thoughts???? IGOR

The 3/16 will work without problems, and will prevent less foaming than the 1/4 due to the resistance/loss along the line. Remember for every 2psi you keg is set at you need about 1 foot of 3/16 inch (12 psi = 6 feet) and for 1/4 inch tubing you need about 5 to 6 times as much. Give or take...

It's Mother's day so call your Mother!!! There!!! I did a quick search for this but nothing for oxygen came up. I'm using a one step no-rinse santizer call "OXY-SAN". I've used it for the last five batches and everything seems to be working well. I really like the no-rinse part...

I would just leave it in the secondary until you are ready to keg. Others, and myself, have left a batch in the secondary for 2-3 months without any problems. Just wait until your ready and do it the way it should be done. If you are going to add sugar to the batch now, you will get all...

Yeah.........but........well.........i secretly like scrapbooking..........WHOOPS SAID THE QUIET PART LOUD AND THE LOUD PART QUIET....:D Actually I do like scrapbooking.........that's her thing and beer is my thing!!!!! Why did you spend $100 on beer stuff..........OK...Why did you...

I was just thinking that as I read you post. It may be stainless, but it's not a 1/2 piece of pipe, it's only sheet metal. IGOR

I would dismantle them and replace all of the o-rings. Probobly cost you about $5 each one, so It's well worth it. There are five orings in total. the big one around the cover, the two on the posts/locks and two under the posts where the tube go down (just unscrew the posts). As for the...

I just use my SWMBO's scrapbooking stamps and put different stamps and colours on the caps, then just keep a record of which stamp is for each kind. Works OK and she has about a billion colours and stamps to choose from. IGOR

You can get the oxygen tanks normally at a hardward store like HD or Lowes, or Canadian Tire up here in Canada. There usually located around the small blue propane tanks, and have the same shape, except they are red. IGOR

That tank should sit upright!! As mentioned above, it the gas of the top that you want!! As for the regulators...you should be fine to put them where ever you want! IGOR

I've never seen them used for wine, but they are great for beer. Just make sure to sanatize the cap and o-ring, and check the o-ring for cracks that would cause sealing problem. Also, make sure you keep them in the dark, because the green bottle will not keep the light out and henceforth...

If it's still bubbling it's still working away.....just leave it alone. IMO!! My Amber Ale is doing the same thing and it was one week in the primary and 2 weeks and one day in the secondary and bubble are still rising to the top. IGOR

you should set the PSI to about 12 psi and then let it sit for about 4 days. This psi value is for a temperature of about 38-40 F. Check out this this web page for details. http://www.neatbrewingideas.ca/faq/carbonation.htm IGOR

i'm gonna get killed for this...but here it goes........... I had 11 bottles from the last soda keg I filled. I put 1/2 teaspoon of table sugar....YES TABLE SUGAR.....in each bottle and every of the five i've opened so far (because the soda keg is now empty) all of them have been perfect...

Just to update: Due to sealing problems racked over to the secondary (carboy)....Bad bucket,,,BAD, BAD BUCKET!!! Anyway, the batch is bubble ever 3.5 second and is going so hard you can actually hear the thing bubbling.....not the airlock the actually brew....I've never had a brew sound so...
