Well i guess i could leave it in the keg for a week and if it gets worse maybe get rid of it rather then use any of it to flavour a new batch thinking that if i boil it with the worth i might kill harmful bacteria. Apoligies but i did not place it in a fermenter i kept it in a warm part of a...

Ill check them out i keep running into ads with both sizes 5/16 and 3/8 whats is the best recomended size?

Cool i think nailing this is essential before i buy another regulator and hopefully it dont face this problem again.. 6-7' would suit me better then 10' as its more space. Im finding it hard to source this in ireland I have found an overseas source...

Yes i actually have kegged it today and i kept the yeast in a sterilised bottle which i was going to keep in the fridge for a few days until i use it again. Im not sure if i spoke to you about the stout in other feeds but it tastes quite sour almost a vinegar taste. Im thinking i over fermented...

First two batches of beer i used the dried yeast that came with the kits and just added when at ambient and worked out well. I decided to do three batches for my 2nd attemp and without knowing the difference i orderd liquid yeast in a smack pack and realised half hour before pitching it needed...

I have been hearing of this EVA gas line and sounds like the way forward so ill source that.. is there a reccomended lenght for the gas lines or does that matter? And can you use Eva for beer lines also?

I was assuming i would need a type of check valve to connect to my keg posts to ensure the flow is only one way and eliminate the possibility of beer passing through the gas line and ruining another regulator. Will the check valve on the manifold serve the same purpose?

My initial plan was to pack everything My initial plan was to hide everything in the keyser if it fits, also im waiting to build a wooden collar so i can feed out any lines or taps.. this was also a temporary fix so i could keep the freezer closed and at the right temp. My regulator is acting...

Ive put up a previous post about my kegging disaster! Im about 3 months into home brewing and i have learnt the hard way with some mistakes and problems. Basically the beer has flowed through my gas line into my regulator possibly due to too little headspace, carbonating at a higher temperature...

Interesting! I was thinking of eventually having a similar system. Can i ask your lagering method and how long you lager in a keg after primary fermentation?

I bought a miller tap head and a cheap faucet tap but as its a screw on head im unsure what to do with the miller tap as it has a different connection.. still very much a beginner lol

I have a kegerator in pre production! Im using a picnic tap for now until i figure out what way i want the tap system. Im afraid to drill into the walls of my chest freezer so im thinking a wooden frame on top and adjusting the lid might give me all the space i need for taps beer lines etc and...

Thats the plan id say its thawed now and off the gas 2 days so im thinking leave it at fridge temp for a day and back on the gas and see if it improves!

Ill find it Is it much trouble installing a fan and does it consume much power? It would not be a bad idea in my case as its Thats what happened to me and i didnt even know beer could get into my gas line and into my regulator.. im debating whether or not to dismantle the regulator to check...

I may have been letting it carlessly hang and could have been top of the kegerator but i wont make dat mistake again im going to set my temp slighlty higher and see how i get on around 36 to 40 f as i originally had it set at 34

Im sure one of the disasters was the probe slipped out of the back of the freezer lid when i was placing my system back in place! This would explain the freezer remaing on full blast as it would have been at ambient and trying to reach a cooler temp. I also think i might have damaged the beer as...

I will check both methods! Ive done a lot of research since and im unsure wether my regulator is made to release any liquid from the safety blow off, if so i should not have to dismantle and clean the regulator. Ive also heard a check valve is the way forward for ensuring beer does not enter my...

Ill do that thanks as the inkbird is new its doubtful its faulty already! I tried to pour from it without gas just to test it and it gave me 4 pints of thick foam. I allowed it to settle for a minute so i could probe and it was about 38f and thats 4 hours later so it was only slightly frozen. Im...

I could be facing more then just the frozen problem i noticed a few days ago when i tried to raise the psi above 12 the valve top right of regulator begin releasing gas almost like it couldnt handle more pressure and this same valve is the one the beer backflowed from the corny keg

I usually have it hanging in my chest freezer but may have slipped out during the movement as i transferred my gas and kegs back to the fridge after kegging and i just didnt realise until today! Do you think i should tape the probe at the side of one of the kegs?
