    McMaster Keg O-Ring List

    I'm using the x ring for the lid. They work great on all 15 kegs I have, both pin and ball lock and they are a mix of manufacturers as well, so I feel pretty confident recommending them. I believe if you look back in this thread I posted the exact ones I ordered, off hand I can't be certain if...

    Refrigerator lifespan optimization

    I know running refrigerator/freezer/ whatever with external temperature controllers can potentially cause issues that shorten their lives. Specifically I have been warned against the compressor starting up again when it is still hot. As a result I have set the compressor delay on all my STCs...

    Dehumidifier glycol chiller

    Any ideas on causing rust to accelerate and break down metal? I pulled the coils out successfully, however the bracket that had held it in the dehumidifier is very rusty. I don't think I could remove it all so I was hoping to get to it rust to the point it would just flake off. I was thinking...

    Is my keezer salvagable?

    While away for an extended period of time it seems by keezer has malfunctioned. I had it set for around 2C but when I came home it was sitting around 9C and running continuously. I opened it to find a large, solid block of ice (18" long maybe 3-4" tall and sticking 2-4" off the side and into...

    American Pale Ale Three Floyds Zombie Dust Clone

    Has anyone done a double batch (12g) with this recipe? When I try to scale up the recipe in beersmith I end up with 15.1 oz each c60 and melanoiden and 1lb carafoam. Can anyone explain why? Edit: Just noticed the double recipe was set for 75% eff and the single 70%.

    All gone? I'll take one if not but figuring I'm most likely too late.

    Sanke Keg Carbonation and Oxidation

    I should have specified with regards to aging I was referring to commercial beer in sanke kegs. These questions were mostly prompted by a conversation with a rather astute bar owner who has observed over time (with many vintages/breweries/styles) that kegged beer just does not cellar in the...

    Sanke Keg Carbonation and Oxidation

    I have two questions related to sanke kegs. I am not sure where to put this question so I went with general beer. First, why does beer and sanke kegs not carbonate? If you have experience otherwise please post, however in talking with multiple brewers and bar owners it seems that a beer...

    Pallet Jack IPA Clone

    Wyeast 3203 - PC de Bom Sour Blend impressions

    Does De Bom have much of a krausen? I think first post said he went through 3 in 7 days and then a pelicle formed but has there been much volume to the foam for other users?

    American Porter Edmund Fitzgerald Porter Clone

    It seems to me if you are starting at 15 plato and finishing at 5.8% ABV then 1.017 is the target and 1.020 is not surprisingly far off especially when I believe they have their own yeast strain. I hope to brew this soon one of my favorite porters for sure.

    regulator got wet/submerged

    I will be honest I'm not really familiar with the inside of a regulator other than taking it apart a few apart to fix them but I don't see how it would cause a problem. All the regs I have seen are brass so they won't rust and I have submerged my reg before to leak test. Granted it was hooked...

    Questionable slants? Too much Agar? Solid Cloud...

    Can you please provide me a link for the test tubes you are using? Do they stand on their own or need a rack?

    McMaster Keg O-Ring List

    I just wanted to add that I have found lid o-rings that seem to seal reliably with or w/o pressure. http://www.mcmaster.com/#90025k551/=tv3mi3 I highly recommend them to anyone especially since I have had problems with some lids leaking when I drop the pressure to fill bottles form a keg...

    Brass components and lead, have you "pickled"

    I wouldn't think they were more than 10 years old at max but who really know how long these component have been kicking around moving from bar to bar. I guess I should have been more specific regarding my concerns. First, if they have been in use for some time does that make the pickling...
