    Pumps: how far can they throw wort?

    Every pump is different, it will depend on the specs of the pump. For the most part, the overall height you are pumping (feet of head) is where most of the resistance for your pump comes from. If you are going downhill you are more than likely going to be fine.

    Does frozen vodka still keep its sanitation properties in a bubbler?

    I always use to steal a couple oz from each of my parents liquor bottles and top it off with water. Who DIDNT do that?

    Different CO2 Volumes With One Regulator

    If you have a 2 tap tower, I think your best bet would be to go with a two stage regulator then you can run two different pressures. I'm sure you could split the difference for now but thats beyond my knowledge as to how that will turn out. I'm assuming eventually your co2 volumes will equalize...

    About to keg for first time

    What style of beer are you trying to carbonate at 3 psi? Also what temp are you carbonating at ? You might want to refer to this table if you haven't yet http://www.kegerators.com/carbonation-table.php and this thread if you haven't seen it yet...

    Leaving for work

    The earliest beer I kegged on dec 20, is certainly not pushing any co2 out. I just finished cleaning out my lines and kegerator. It is ready for when I get back. Tomorrow I will transfer the two 6 US gal batches into my 5 US gal kegs, and bottle the rest of each. All with the appropriate...

    Now I am really confused..... In canada 5 gal is equal to ~23 Litres. Even on my carboys it has 5 gal (23.5 L) markings....

    Except I need to get sugar into the bottles also for the excess, maybe spooning a specific amount of sugar into each bottle would be my best bet for that. I would use carbonation drops, for that except I don't have any and my truck is in the shop all day tomorrow, and I am running out of time...

    Leaving for work

    Aright, took the gravity readings. First beer brewed on dec 20/16 was at 1.046 originally and its now at 1.010 (5 gal batch) second beer brewed on dec 29/16 was at 1.050 originally and is now at 1.011 (5 gal batch) not too worried about the 2.5 gal batch, it was a mr beer extract that I got...

    I will take my gravity readings now and see where I am at in 24 hours, and go from there. They are moderate strength ales.

    Leaving for work

    So the general consensus seems to be that it will not be good to leave the beer on trub for this extended period of time? I was hoping there wasn't going to be a problem, but if its going to make a difference I will just go grab two more carboys to use as secondaries. I probably wouldn't...

    Too much head space in the pails to use as secondary. 1- 2.5 gallon batch in 5 gal carboy 2- 5 gallon batch in 6 gal pails

    I was worried that fermentation would not be complete yet, I guess this would only be a problem if I was bottling though? (Which I would have to bottle half a dozen from each batch if I kegged now)

    I also have two empty 19L kegs, but the two batches are 23L.

    Leaving for work

    One is in a carboy (it is only a 2.5 gal batch) the other two are in pails, I have one spare carboy. I could grab a couple more, but I mean then I'm sitting at 2 pails and 3 carboys on hand.

    Leaving for work

    Alright so heres the situation. I have three batches going right now, all have been in primary for between 10-16 days. I wasn't planning to use a secondary. I have to leave for work, for probably 6-10 weeks. I thought it would be fine to leave them all as is while I was gone without...

    Does frozen vodka still keep its sanitation properties in a bubbler?

    You must live live near me if you managed to freeze vodka?

    About to keg for first time

    Tip: If you are going to use a higher pressure and shaking/rolling to force carbonate faster, don't forget to purge out the oxygen BEFORE you do this. I got all excited and forgot to purge, my first TWO kegs. Good luck, and enjoy!

    Danby Kegerator - No Power

    I had a few capacitors go on my Electrolux fridge (3000$ fridge that a repair man told me was garbage and had to be replaced). Replaced the capacitors and she works good as the first day I got it. The capacitors didn't show much sign of leaking but they had certainly expanded a bit. Easy fix...
