I have a Smash in a converted pin lock and since it's been carbed, i've had this same problem. When it was first kegged and carbed I was still using picnic taps and opening the door, now however i have installed Perlicks and have completely switched over to 5 ' -3/16" beerline & 3/16" shanks...

Just got my Ebay bargain and I can't find anything to check it for accuracy. I slapped an empty homer bucket up on it and it came in @ 2lbs... can anyone out there verify this? Thanks

I've had a MO Smash in primary for 3 weeks, checked it last night it's done and I wanted to cold crash it before kegging so i changed my temperature on my controller and for some stupid ass reason I unplugged my heater and proceeded to plug it into the cold side. Therefore as I was trying to...

Finally gave it a whirl to control 13.5 gallons in a keggle. wow it worked better than i could have imagined. I keep an old ocilating fan in the garage for misc and thought i would give it a try. We were boiling down 13.5 gallons and we were past the hot break and had turned down the burner a...

So i've decided to brew a Smash with my MO bulk purchase. TO get the malty character from the MO what should my mash temp be? I was thinking either 154 or 152.. but i did some reading and some people are saying to mash it lower for better attenuation. I was hoping to get some malt flavor that...

Just bought 55#'s of Marris Otter and 50# of 2-row.. My first bulk purchase to run through my new Monster Mill... Now what recipe out there really shines the Marris Otter. I've never actually used it but I'm pretty sure i'll like it so i just bought it... Is a brown or maybe an ESb or a mild...

Planning on brewing my 17th batch this saturday. Now that i can keg I would like to get some beer in the pipeline. Was wondering if anyone has brewed a quick extract while they were mashing in their AG.. Just thinking how I could possibly brew up 20 gallons in the same amount of time. I'm...

In last month's BYO one of the tips from the pros was about only adding hops with less than 20 minutes left in the boil. So my assumption would be to add alot of hops to get the bittering effect and at the same time your getting some flavor. Has anyone done this and does anyone have a recipes...

I know there are guys doing it with the fancy setup. That's not in the budget quite yet, so i'm looking for someone that can give alittle insight on how they do it the old way with a carboy cap. any good pics or a parts list would be awesome. I'm lost as to how your reducing sizes of tube and...

I've got an old GE that's being switched over to my Kegerator. I've test fit with 2 corny's and they both fit. However it's a really tight fit and i'm alittle worried about the lines coming out of the kegs being to close to the evap. Has anyone bent them or modified them to give alittle more...

How has everyone attached thier HLT to you top tier. I figure once it's up there I shouldn't have to take it down very often. What have you guys done to permanately/semi attached your keggles to your top tier?

Thinking of going to kegging. My question is to carb up a corny does the gas have to stay connnected to the keg? I guess i'm not sure if i could just put some pressure to a newly filled keg and then put it aside and then put the gas line back on the keg being served. Any insight? Thanks

Maybe a Newbie question but just wondering. I measured my Final Gravity with the final amount of beer from the bottling bucket. This has priming sugar in it. duhhhh.. i do it so i don't waste a single drop of beer.. well i'm sure this is throwing off my #'s... figures. Does anyone else do this...

So when i'm done with my 60 minute boil and add my last hops, i then carry pot over to tap and start IC.. I just read that someone waits 30 minutes before starting cool down. I confused here, i just brewed my fifth batch and once I shut off the propane i had my wort cooled to 70 degrees with 30...
