my next batch of 3 kegs is on a spunding valve at 15psi, i think what ill do is after fermentation is complete cold crash and then transfer to new kegs with 2oz priming sugar in them and then bottle off of those. that way ill have around 15psi plus a little extra bottle conditioning to add some...

im still having a lot of difficulty with bottling my high carb hefeweizen. i have my kegs cold in the fridge and at 30psi, so i figure im in the 4+volumes range, and i cant seem to get a good dispense and am ending up with co2 coming out of solution in my line. ive tried using 20ft of 5/32id...

that sounds like the route im going to take jmcquesten. On my keg line i have 50ft of bevelex line and run my co2 at 30psi and 38-40f fridge. ya thats high volume, but i like my hefeweizen carby. i also have the kegerator in the basement and run the line up to my main floor so that probably...

to clean the keg thoroughly you have to take off the posts, take out the dip tube and the gas tube, take off the lid and clean everything, sanitize all the parts you removed, reassemble, put sanitizer in the keg give it a shake, carb the keg to low volume, dispense some sanitizer so it gets in...

i cant think of a reason why you cant just fill the kegs with beer and do this, but i have nothing to contribute to this thread

i used to tell myself when i started that i would never be one of those guys... that have to have it all... that ill save a bunch of money if i brew my own... then i used to tell myself that this equipment is an investment... that itll pay itself off in the long run... now i have 9 kegs, 3...

i must say you over engineered the **** out of your blow off tube. and thats quite a bit of hefe for that carboy. how do you know your OG measurement is even accurate? are you using the little floating POS or a high tech Brix thing personally i dont even bother with all that measurement nonsense...

i tried my new overpriced blichman beergun the other day on a hefeweizen carbed to about 4volumes, and had a real foamy mess... i bottled 18, and lost about 1L to foam. Dont worry though, i collected the foam as i was going, transfered it to a PET bottle, force carb'd it and drank it the next...

im now using a spunding valve for the first time, have it setup so its connected to 3 kegs of hefeweizen (3.75 gal per keg, used fermcap) and currently regulated at 12psi, was pitched 3 days ago. 1) how high can i set the psi? i read somewhere 15psi is a max and yeast start to die, yet bottle...

my first thought is to ditch all the calculators and DIY micromanaging stuff out there and look at some known recipes and compare their estimated IBU's for hops added/gal and compare them to the numbers you are having. my reasoning is if you find a recipe that states it has X IBU and requires Y...

i am 99% sure mgd will not work as they are twist off (where im from) and clear bottles. capping twist offs is a lost cause. I have a "red capper" for lack of better term, and it works, ive capped a couple hundred beers, but ive since moved on to kegging as im sure you some day will. You are...
