Looking for options to connect 1/2 ID line so as to run through corny liquid / gas QDs. Imagine two 1/2" ID lines going to / from liquid pump ... wanting to draw out of corny liquid post, back into gas post, for cleaning / rinsing. The immediate answer to the question would be ball-lock QDs...

Thanks to @Beermeister32 for concept and initial design - simply an alternate take

Goal is cycling cleaning liquids through corny posts ... Recently acquired Gile House pump mostly for cleaning corny tubes by cycling hot rinse water and then Star San solution - out through liquid post, back in through gas post. Pump has 1/2” NPT male fittings. The interiors of my kegs are...

Could anyone please make recommendation on where to purchase bulk quantity corny ball-lock post silicone o-rings? Thanks -

Looks like the Vols to PSI @ temp charts are intended as guidance on carbonating still beverage. For example, in a five gal corny at room temp with one to two gals headspace over still beverage, if tank pressurizing to about 30 PSI, after a being chilled a couple of days, CO2 will have been...

Into cleaned and empty keg add about half a gallon hot water and recommended amount of Starsan ... keg is not filled with solution. Install lid, shake, including holding upside down. Waiting five to ten min between efforts repeat three times. Let sit for about an hour for foam to subside. Attach...

For folks that are versed in bottle carbonating and know how to do the calculations kindly looking for input. Have a few two-and-a-half gallon cider batches completing flat-dry primary in five gallon corny kegs. Hoping to transfer to five gallon corny servers and at the same time add some...

I want to like old kegs, I really do. I’ve lovingly cleaned them up as if restoring an old car. I’ve replaced parts and scraped off old stickers and wondered where they’ed been and stories they could tell. But not having time to babysit constantly leaking lids running out of patience. Half a...

Been going around turning over rocks lately in an attempt to uncover clues to recent poor cider results. Having examined some sacred cows possibly a fundamental issue has been identified but that’s a pearl-clutcher for another day. In searching, however, did look into sanitation and found...

Could anyone please give a recommendation on how to upgrade a regulator flat blade screw to a rubber handle? Purchased a couple of regulators with this "tamper proof" option but a rubber handle would be better. Tried unscrewing the screw and it seizes, won't fully back out. Could possibly tape...

A guess would be most ciders are carboy fermented and open-air syphon transferred - my best successes were with those methods and brings up the reason for this post. Kegging is convenient. Since rekindling this recreation have moved into keg fermenting with C02 exhaust lines running through...

After taking a corny temporarily out of service and after a thorough cleaning how do you temporarily store it until next needed? Do you try to get it completely dry? Because without waiting days/weeks that doesn't work in my experience. So then if it's stored with a hint of water isn't that a...

Currently enjoying an outrageously tasty apple/pear cider complements of the clown-car corny keg that makes and serves itself… Last summer, in a trimmed tube corny fermenter started a batch with M02 yeast of 3 gallons Kirkland apple to 2 quarts Lakewood organic pomegranate, the classic...

After several weeks at room temperature could a purged server connected to a fermenter, and under pressure, begin to develop undesirable qualities because it is unrefrigerated? Would there be enough organic matter transferring through the C02 exhaust through the server, that without the benefit...

Have done some historical reading on this - however doesn't seem to be much available and little consensus... Started a few micro cider batches couple of weeks ago and have done some sampling and it seems flavors are down. What changed? Recently, having finished a container of diammonium...

Single handle AEBs work well in my setup. Purpose built carboy drying racks work well ... thoughts on what could be adapted as a similarly styled single handle drying rack? -

Lately it seems I've turned out some quite remarkably average stuff. Anybody else identify with that losing your mojo feeling?

First spunding effort looking good holding at 20 PSI. Natural carbonation and potentially some flavor enhancements?

Yeast can certainly make a big difference

Just began corny fermenting running a trimmed dip tube sitting just right to extract all but a couple ounces of beverage leaving all the sediment
