I'm thinking about doing this as my first AG good or bad idea? let me know how it turns out for you please.

would the pizza pan/ grease spallter screen combo work in a cooler MLT? I'm thinking of getting into AG now and trying to figure out the best way to get this stuff going.

I have the R2D2 looking one that is electic and love it. it's about $50 and will do two large turkies or briskits no issues. I have even taken it camping where there was an electric plug and it worked great to smoke meat in the great out doors and not have to deal with keeping coals going in it.

Anybody bump bump?

Have you tried to add some pressure to it yet? My don't seal until I hit at least 5 PSI then tight as a drum.

Has anyone bought or used these type of small regulators? 1/4" NPT Economy Regulator Package I found some similar cobalt brand at lowes and was going to try them but wanted opinions first. I plan to maybe get a 6 way manifold and use these on there instead of this Beer Regulator - Secondary CO2...

My first two looked like that. one was a shiner clone very tasty the other is a hefe still young but looked like that all the same.

ok so just be patient grasshopper kinda thing...tough but I can do that.

Ok I just moved my hefe to a keg after 8 days there was no air lock bubbles for about 4 days. I know the air lock isn't the main way to tell for fermentation the hydro is. I smelled it and it was VERY strong bananas.. ok I like :ban::ban: but will this settle down in the keg after a few days...

Do you want to find out you did, when you didn't use them? With a pressurized line you never know. My opinion yes you need them.:D

Exactly! That is good news that was my plan for the pool, parties, pulling the last few pints out to empty the keg for the next masterpiece. Would they need to stay cold then? This may take some testing. Oh how I hate to test drinking beer.:rockin:

Ok I wish I had enough time to read this entire post but sadly I don't. Can you use a 20 oz bottle and the new racking cane to fill and pressureize with a carb cap? I know light is evil but if kept in the dark would that help just carb it a bit more then swap the cap for the real lid and repeat?

Check the tower temps too. I had to riug something to blow cold air into them or all i got was foam I use about 5 foot of line and 10-12 psi and little foam especially after the first poor

you could make a bacon broth and chill it and the fat will become solid and you can lift it out or filter it. then go from there.

thanks please post your fine tuning efforts... I have had a heck of a time with foam, I have a two tower keg and am in the proccess of upgrading to two triple towers ( single towers for sale now) and only one regultaor so far. Those buggers are expensive...

Where did you get the tubing? Home depot, Lowes?

I 'm making some sugar free clear koolaid for the kiddies and used 1/2 teaspoon of malto. I wish Icould find more no colored flavors besides watermelon kiwi...

Sounds promising keep us posted:mug:

awesome that explains that, it's a about 70 or so in the closet

I have a simple hefe in a primary right now and it smells like banana's is that normal for a hefe? the shiner I did smelled a little yeasty but not bad the hefe is fairly strong. this is my second session so i'm very new. Also the Apple wine i have going doesn't seem to give off much scent...
