    Cure for overcarbed keg?

    Long story short...25psi for 10 days...oops. Have it in the fridge with relief valve open and off gas for one week. Still foamy as heck. Should I let it warm up? I don't like letting my beer warm up once its chilled... How long cold will it take to decarb?

    CFC prep and maint.

    Okay, broke down and bought one. Here's my plan. Gonna clean it out of the box by pumping PBW and then IDOPHOR through it. Prior to use I'm going to pump boiling wort through it for 15 minutes prior to end of boil. Then run hot water from my sink (made an attachment) PBW and then IDOOHOR...

    Between beers and revisited an old favorite...

    Negra Modelo. It had been 20 years. Boy was I disappointed. I've had stronger root beer with better head.

    Stuck Gas post on a Firestone keg.

    I'm rebuilding my 12 old timey kegs. 8 were cornelius, 4 were Firestone. I made it to number 10 without a problem. The gas post is stripped and I can't get the socket to turn it. Any suggestions?

    counterflow chiller - Stainless or Copper.

    I've decided I'm abandoning the immersion chiller for an in line chiller. Already got an idea to drop it in my 10 gallon cylindrical cooler for a super-pre-chiller. The prospects of cleaning a plate chiller immediately after using rule it out (I just won't do it, at least not like it should) so...

    3 blue rubber cornys

    Is it possible to change the rubber out so all my kegs match. 27 black and 3 blue bugs me.

    I love this style but I would never expose my equipment to this beer VD.

    Do you keep separate equipment? Do you ever have non lambic beers go lambic on you?

    My dual regulator on my 20 pound co2 tank busted a gasket.

    And I leaked all 20 pounds ofco2 out. Anyways it looked like a rubber gasket but it split in half. I have some nylon gaskets...will they work?

    CFC...straight to the fermentor or back in the kettle?

    Thinking of getting a CFC for my 20 gallon system. Never used one...is one time through enough or do you cycle through the brew kettle? I have a whirlpool built into the boil kettle and a pump (digital B3 sculpture). Thinking of taking my old immersion chiller and a 10 gallon cylindrical cooler...

    Beer hose rated for what temp on hot side?

    Anyone know? I'm thinking of replacing the silicone seal on my B3 tippy dump with a seal made from beer line. The seal it came with has always been problematic and it has a small rip and won't stay on now.

    Refractometer. Better than a hydrometer?

    Refractometer. Better, worse, complicated, imprecise? Always been a hydrometer man but my tube cracked. I can't read ph paper to save my life. None of the colors look right. Will this mess me up?

    Yeast blow up.

    So, my carefully harvested yeast blew the lid off...the one on the left. I caught it pretty soon, cleaned and sanitized the lid and put it back on. Left the lid loose this time. So, would anyone transfer to new jar? Pic is a before. There's now yeast crust on inside of jar walls.

    Immersion AND counterflow...why not both?

    I could hook up my whirlpool recirculation to go through a counterflow while I was running the immersion... Anyone do this?

    Beverage Air wonky temp.

    I have a beverage air That's about 20 years old. It sat unused for 10 years. Basically its too warm on the warmest setting and every setting colder will freeze the beer in the keg. I already replaced the thermostat. Any suggestions?

    Brewing beer for serving on nitro through Guinness taps.

    I am converting 1 of my 3 kegerators to beer gas and Guinness taps. I intended to serve the last 5 gallons of each 20 gallon batch on nitro. But perhaps I should brew specifically for this tap rather than either/or. Thoughts?
