@Bobby didn't you say on another thread that you use the full 39 at like 35PSI serving pressure? I tried plugging that into various calculators, and when I plug that line length in it says 17 second pour which seems a bit slow. Also, another question.... I am told that C02 goes into liquid at...

I am about to try 39' eva barrier with 4mm and a pluto gun line as soon as I can get an adapter to connect it to my liquid ball lock....

Looks great would love to give the Delta a try!

Thanks Bobby that gives me some good info. Ok so I can see why you want to carb over time vs force carb unless you know for sure how carbonated it is. That makes sense to me that the serving PSI need to be balanced with the carbonation level. Sounds like I should go with like a 35 foot line...

Yeah I replaced the dip tube gasket, even though it didn't look damaged at all. Also tried a different dip tube, and lubed both. :(

Ok I have read every thread, watched every youtube video I could find. I made a nice mix of vodka and water and kegged it, chilled it and force carbonated it and let it sit at about 30psi. After letting it rest an hour or so cleared the head space and lowered the psi to about 15, hooked it to...

What kind of chalkboard paint did you use for this? I'm reading a lot of them aren't good for liquid chalk pens. I bought some tap handles with a chalk board surface and the liquid pens are basically permanent on that surface. I literally scrubbed off the blackboard surface trying to clean...

I thought about doing that, I only have a 14.5g kettle. Normally I do a no sparge so i'd almost need to fill it to the top to get 9g batch. Any advice on how to get a final 9g with this setup?

What batch size are you guys using into the ferm keg? I did like 5.25 and it wasn't enough head room. I also did like 4.5 and it worked pretty well but maybe too much head room?

I bought the cheaper one for $30 just to test it out. Unclear what the $100+ ones add besides temperature control which I don't really need. I'll dunk it in next time i'm trying to hit strike water temp and when i'm bringing to boil. Again, I typically use a gas cooker to heat up my kettle...

@Beermeister32 do you know what size clips those are?

I have heard of people using a 'titanium' heater, but the only ones i can find are for fish tanks. I found this one, looks like it would work very well, but It takes a month and a half to get here and it's 3x the price...

Not sure if this would work or not, but it takes me like 30 mins to heat up water to strike temp, and another 30 to heat the wort to boil using a cooker. Wondering if I could cut this down by using a titanium heater like you might use for an aquarium at the same time? Maybe it would melt due...

Please make me a winner this time! :)

Ah ok yeah that makes sense....idk why i thought it was more complicated. the first 2 beers I brewed I had a ton of blowoff, then after that the rest have been pretty tame. Not sure why, perhaps a diff in headroom or ferm temp, or just the yeast/style/grain combo. Either way it's probably...

How do you attach a blow off tube? Just take apart the valve temporarily?

Great find on the 10g corny, those are amazing but expensive usually. Sounds like you got a good price, i'm hoping the price will come down on these at some point. So you try to set the (fixed) dip tube level 1" above for predicted sludge, then pull some using a party tap i'm guessing, check...

Yeah I guess it's somewhat unaviodable...I have a really hard time not getting some cloudiness/crud when I use a racking cane as well. Using a floating in the serving keg will help as well, it will be pretty obvious when you are at the bottom of the keg.

Yeah it sits at the bottom. When first tested it with sanitizer to drain the keg there was at least 3-4 inches of liquid in the bottom. Now that I think about it i'm not sure why it left so much. I will plan to re-test a bit more but I am guessing since the dip tube is sitting at the bottom...

I plan to use the floating dip tube in serving keg, sefinitely will cold crash for a day or two before transfer. and both have that little filter on it, so I at least have those parts covered. I guess I just need to experiment with it to see what works best. I may see if there are some smaller...
