Awesome. Now out of Curiosity, what would happen if I cold crash for one day at around 33-34° and kegged? As far as flavor. I ask because I'm about to keg an IPA, and I leave on February 11 until February 27th for army training, and I will have about a week to drink what I can then I leave. ...

If I get gelatin do I just pour the package in the carboy or do I need a certain amount

Hmmmmmm. Ok.

If I add gelatin tomorrow, the earliest I would be able to keg would be Friday. Because I work Thursday

I don't have gelatin, would I be ok just to cold crash for a day then keg?

How long do I cold crash?

I used the ingredients supplied with the NB kit.

Yup it all makes sense. I thought the stamp was indicating how much co2 it held, I just didn't know they stamped the tank weight on there: that's why I was confused. I just weight the tank and it's 12.6lbs so I definitely got my 5lbs of co2.

Haha sounds good. I saw the 7.5 and was confused but now I know.

Thanks. I'll see if I can get to a scale

These are the tanks I have. Don't worry, I'm not using the rusted one. I acquired it when I was looking for a co2 tank. But the silver one on the right is the one I filed

Now that I look it says TW before the 7.5. I bet that's tank weight? I don't know much on what the stamped stuff means lol.

EDIT: I have the answer I need. Thank you all who helped. This thread can be deleted now. I going to keg my first batch this week. I just went to get my co2 tank filled. When I attached the regulator, it is reading 600psi on the high pressure side. The tank has 7.5 lbs stamped on it. I just...

I used a mini-cheese grater.

I bought 2 grapefruits to get the fresh zest for dry hopping. Apparently that only gave me 1oz by weight of zest. Do you think if I were to take 1oz of the dry zest that came with the kit, and let it soak in a little bit of grapefruit juice from the grapefruits, that it would be ok to add when...

The guy I go to at my LHBS told me to use just the zest of one grapefruit. He said it should be a little more than 2 oz, but to use the zest only, the orange outer part. He said not to get down to the white.

I just racked mine to secondary after 10 days in primary. OG 1.070 SG at racking 1.012 [emoji57]

Had some extra wood left over. Decided to make some home brew art. Still not finished, but I think it'll look good.

Oh cool. Well one thing I did notice from when i let the sanitizer sit in the bucket, it still had the heavy smell, but when I dumped it. It was the actual sanitizer that smelled, then the bucket wasn't nearly as bad, so that made me feel that it was actually pulling it from the plastic. Maybe...

The kegerator has been running for a couple days now on the coldest setting, Temperature is around 25°f, so it's safe to say it's working. I'm ready to sand and seal the counter top but I currently have a grapefruit IPA fermenting in there.
