The big issue I've had with RiteBrew is shipping costs. I'm in Florida, and their shipping makes them the most expensive shop for me. I typically order bulk LME to save money. When ordering from NB, I get 6 6lb jugs (36lbs) for $67.99 (I always wait for 20% off sale - happens about once every...

Completed my Tiki Bar today! Gives my new kegerator and my 3 new homebrews a home! Brown Eyed Girl is an English Brown, Hey Blondie! is a Deschutes Blonde, and I also have a Mango Peach cider on tap. I designed the bar from the ground up - took 6 weeks to complete. All bamboo with a tile bartop...

I have a question that I can't find an answer for by searching. I have my first keg on tap now - it's great! I have had an issue twice where I go to pour a glass, and nothing comes out. I'm set at 9psi. Both times I cranked the pressure up to 20-25, and it started flowing. I then released...

VTX1300, I looked at the FastFerment - that looks incredible! Thanks! I just ordered one. Question - you say you go from the sample port. The sample port has to be ordered separately and installed - where did you install on the FastFerment? i.e. how low on the conical part did you go? This would...

I assume when you say liquid in, you are referring to the liquid out port? I tried this initially, but was unable to get anything to flow in that way... so I filled keg with CO2, then transferred through the top - assuming that the CO2 would be heavier than air and would protect beer during...

I would have to say on the metallic side. I've always used one step while bottling with no issues. If it is infection, do I need to completely disassemble the keg and sanitize? Or can I sanitize by letting the solution soak in the keg, then expel it using CO2? How do you do a closed transfer...

I have run into a serious issue with my first two kegs, and am looking for some ideas as to what to look at. Both kegs have an awful aftertaste to them - and when I saw awful, I mean undrinkable. Very bitter and tangy in a bad way. I was planning on serving these at a party, but am now looking...

Question on pressure when carbonating - I turn on the main valve, set both kegs to 10 psi (I have a dual regulator setup). Can I turn off the main at this point? My expectation (with the main off) would be that I would see the psi on each keg slowly drop over time as the Co2 is absorbed by the...

I'll let you know how it goes... and I just read through the recommended stickies - should have done that before I asked!

Thanks for the advice! I have two Corny kegs - my 1st is ready for carbonation but I'm flying out early tomorrow and will be gone for a week. My 2nd batch is in the secondary, so I was thinking I would wait till I get back, rack the 2nd one to my 2nd keg, then carbonate both at the same time. I...

I've been brewing for nearly 20 years, but am just now kegging for the first time! Several questions: Is there a specific thread thread here for new kegger questions? I just racked my first batch in a keg - it's in the kegerator cooling right now. Can I let it set for several weeks before I...
