First time making cider here and this recipe looks great. How much safale us-05 yeast do you pitch for a 1 gal batch? The whole pack seems like overkill as that's what I usually pitch for a 5 gal batch.

Brought home a tank of marionberry cider from the local ciderhouse to put on tap in the keezer. I hooked up the lines, poured a glass, and noticed that some cider got backed up into my air line? What would cause this? I am wondering if the keg was really full and the pressure was high...

Thanks for posting that clip. Classic.

I usually tip well and don't mind tipping a bit. I just thought this was an awkward situation, one I hadn't come across and don't know what's customary. I usually tip 20% at restaurants and tip at least $1/drink ordered at bars. The $1 tip was using that same logic. Basically she was handing...

Definitely go the keezer route. I built mine a couple months ago and love having four beers on tap. There is so many helpful threads on this forum. I mostly used the plan from billybrew. http://billybrew.com/how-to-build-a-keezer

I filled a 5 gal corny keg at the local cider house for my wife to have on draft in the keezer. It was $85 to fill. It was kind of awkward as they use an ipad with square to accept credit card payment and it defaults to 15% tip. I was not about to to pay an extra $12.75 for the nice girl at...

I've got a blonde ale that's been sitting in the secondary fermenter for nearly 2 months now. It's my buddy's beer and I haven't had the motivation to bottle it as I'm kegging my beers now. We haven't had a chance to get together to bottle it yet, so there it sits. Other than risk of an...

Sell for $4.69/bottle at the market I get them from. Only in stock 4-5x/year, but reasonable price.

I'd highly recommend Hair of the Dog, Hopworks, and Deschutes. Cheers!

Also tempted. Talk me out of it.

Code me. Thanks.

So can a guy use a 2L soda bottle to replace a growler? One of my biggest issues with growlers is the beer going flat because I only drink a pint at a time. What if I buy a growler, pour myself a pint, then pour the remains into a 2L bottle and use the carbonator cap to pressurize. Will this...

My amazing wife ordered it as a gift for me. They sell them online at http://www.boneyardbeer.com/boneyardbeer/GEAR.html Now if they would only fill 5 gal corny kegs! I called and they only fill Sanke style which I'm not set up for.

I recently finished a new keezer build and ran star san through the liquid lines to sanitize. I don't have kegs to hook up to two of the lines so now they are left with star san still in them. Will this cause any issues or can it be left in the lines until purged with beer from new kegs? Thanks.

Serving pressure is 10 psi. The beer is called block 15 Aboriginale from a local microbrewery so I'm not sure how carbed and to what level. I had them fill my keg as I didn't yet have any homebrew ready to fill it with. It sounds like it might be more highly carbed than the 10 psi my regulator...

After running off a half pint of foam, I poured this pint in 8 seconds with wide open tap. What does this mean? Thanks.

This is the "Beaver keezer." The orange and black are Oregon State University's school colors. I used the NB how to video and the many helpful threads on this forum and NB to help. Thank you for all the great info. I'm trying to troubleshoot foamy pours and air in my liquid line on the first...

First keg on tap in newly built keezer and I am trying to troubleshoot foamy pours that I believe are resulting from air in my liquid lines. The first pour is always foamy. Below, I've included a couple pics of my liquid line. I am running 5 ft of 3/16" bev line at 38-40 degrees around 10...

Problem solved. Thanks for the advice.

Thx. I'll stop worrying.
