    New to kegging and have a few questions

    Welcome to kegging 1) Easiest and best way to carbonate is to first blow off your oxygen then set dial to 12 psi walk away for 4-7 days and enjoy. I don't prefer forced carbonated beer. Waiting the 4-7 days allows your beer to mature and the cold crashing helps clarify your beer too. 2)...

    Pouring 100% foam from tap

    Foaming usually results from your tap being too warm. Do you have a fan circulating your cool air into the tower itself?

    Keg Setup Recommendation

    I recently bought kegging accessories from RiteBrew.com. I paid $303 for tubing, shanks, faucets (Perlick 630 ss)and all connections shipped for a 4 tap Keezer. I have a 14.8 cu ft chest freezer, so plenty of room for future expansion. Bought my ball lock kegs from another member here and paid...

    Question on airlock for beginner

    Oxygen is your other concern, transporting may agitate your brew creating bubbles. You may want to keep where it is and try to place some icepacks around your container.

    Question on airlock for beginner

    LMAO, Moving my beer up the mountain for lower fermentation temps. That is one of the best quotes I heard on this entire forum. Your beer should be fine as long as some liquid was in the airlock. :mug:

    What is a good price for kegging equipment?

    I recently purchased my kegging equipment thru ritebrew.com fast shipping and pretty cheap. Depending on your available space you may want to consider a larger refrigerator or a chest freezer to expand your capacity later on.

    VERY low alcohol content

    Never base your beer on being ready for bottling based on airlock activity. Always take hydrometer readings and record results. Once there are no changes in readings, then you may bottle. Take as many notes on each beer you make, it will give you a reference to look back at.

    First 10 Gallon Batch

    I'm almost ready equipment wise to produce my first 10 Gallon all grain batch of beer. I was wondering what two recipes I may use that would only need to change hops or yeast types to make (2) 5 gallon batches. Im open to any variety of beer but do not prefer fruit flavored beers.

    Fermenter in a keezer or keezer in a fermenter?

    I would first experiment with your first design where your cooling chamber is on top where the cold air enters and totally seal that up to make a mini fridge inside your fridge. Then enclose the lower half of the fridge for your fermenter chamber and chart your temps. If higher temps are needed...
