    Lager newbie questions

    This is an older post, but will see if anyone replies. I've done Festa kits for many years, extract kits more recently, and heard good things about Festa Czech Pilsner, so going to try that and keg it when I'm done. I've always gone off the instructions that Noble Grape in Canada uses which is...

I have a newly set up kegerator with a corny keg with a light Canadian Ale currently on tap. I'm thinking it may be best to shut off the CO2...

    PVC Tower Cooling Solution

    Thanks for all the help on here. First time user on here. I want to use the copper pipe idea as well. I was originally going to drill a 2" hole for my tower, but should be able to make it just large enough for the one copper pipe for a single line correct? Which is better for me as it's a thick...
