I usually just cook my 3-5 gallons and pour it into the freshly cleaned corny keg. Set my psi to 30 and wait a week. Should i let it fill and sit for a bit to settle and pull the relief valve to let any o2 out? I don't brew beer so I've never done it before. Any info is appreciated. If I am...

I've got a blichmann beer gun and have been fighting with it for a few batches now. Spoke with them directly and no one that works there has ever tried it on root beer. Their directions say to use their supplied hose and never above 15psi. That threw my normal 30' and 30psi out the window. Their...

ALSO, If you're going many days between tasting, make sure you pour a 10oz glass or so for the first glass and pour it down the drain. Then pour another glass and taste that to see if it's carbonated. I know if I go 4-5 days without pouring a glass, all the soda in the 30' of 3/16 line I have...

Your thread wasn't hijacked dude. I answered the question with the very first response. Someone else chimed in saying they were running the same hose as their beer with the same low psi as beer. I responded that everything I had ever read didn't support that. All referring to your question. How...

Sorry typo. I'm using 3/16 line. Maybe 5/16 on my co2 though. Can't recall. I was just making a comment towards the previous guy saying he's running beer and root beer off a 2 tap system, both carbed at equal psi and both using 5' of line. From everything I've read, that shouldn't be carbed...

I don't know. Every forum I've ever read has come up with the same 25-30' of 5/16 ID hose and 25-35 psi to carb and serve. The length is to reduce foam from the high psi needed for carbing. Maybe all the advice I've ever read is crap and 10psi on a 5' hose works perfectly. I'm not an expert just...

Same rules apply to cleaning. Any soda inside the tap will turn into thick syrup and eventually harden. I've found just a little bit inside the spigot will reak havoc on the foam. If I plug the tap with the bristle style cleaner plug thing you get from you local brew shop, it helps that. I run...

Im running 25'of hose at 30psi. I get a little more foam then I'd like but not as bad as you're sayin. I did read a thread about wintergreen helpin with head retention, but I've done root beer batches with or without it and have the same amount of foam. I'd say my glasses are 40% foam on the...

Spoke with the guys at blichmann and hard to believe, but none of them have ever tried the gun on root beer. I'm getting a ton of foam here. With my kegerator I'm running 30PSI and 30' of line. It's worked out perfectly for every batch so far. The gun instructions say use the 10' hose attached...

I'm on my second round of root beer. First one went well. Did enough research to get a good understanding. I'm running 30' of 3/16 at 30 psi for carbing and serving. This second batch is getting super foamy all of the sudden. Any good guesses? Second question is why can't you force carb at 30...

New to kegging and was wondering if the same rules apply to the gun as do the tap in regards to line length. After tons of research I had come to the consensus that 30psi on 30' of 3/16 line was the average to get the correct pour. Has anyone tried the gun on root beer. Do I need to go buy 30...
