What is the best method for neutralizing odors in kegs? I just bought a bunch of used cornys and three still had beer in them. The beer had gone bad and I suspect it was in there much longer than the two years claimed by the previous owner. Each keg had dozens of hard water deposit rings around...

I've just installed all new beverage lines (3/16" ID) in my kegerator.........7' each. The math called for 4' but you esteemed ladies and gents said go for 7' and trim them down if needed. I increased the pressure in each keg to 14 PSI for two days, reset the pressure to 12.5psi and now I'm...

Is there a preferred brand of CO2 regulator that everyone prefers? Most that I have seen seem to be rather inexpensive. The regulator I have will hold a constant pressure but it will creep over 12-24 hours whether I increase or decrease the pressure so getting an accurate set point can take...

Ok, I think I have my feeble mind wrapped firmly around the whole issue of balancing my kegerator but I used several different sources for info and three questions come to mind. 1. One source says to account for gravity by measuring vertically from the center of the keg to the faucet. Another...

I realize this is a home "brew" forum but I just have to ask........do you find it cheaper to brew or buy your beer? I like brewing beer as much as the next guy but over the last few years I find that I can buy excellent beer from local breweries for about $50 for 5 gallons. Every 5 gallon batch...

After cleaning my new perlick faucets should I lube all the seals? They looked to have some sort of dry lube on them upon receipt. Thanks, Bill

I was wondering how many home brewers have to boil their water before adding it to the fermenter. I used to live in Ipswich England and now live in eastern WA. In both locations my water quality and taste have been excellent straight from the tap. I have never boiled my water and never had a bad...

Hi all, I'm trying to locate a source for all the various gaskets located in a Cornelius Model 1891 keg. By my count that is about 9 gaskets. I also need the poppets. I already have the common lid and CO2 in/beer out O rings. The poppets are a bit odd in that the bottoms of them have a flat...

Hi all, I've been reading threads off and on for a year or so. Never thought to look up any brew related info online but found this site when I did. Anyway, I just pitched yeast into a fresh batch of Porter. Now I'm on a quest to find gaskets for a couple of Model 1891 Corny kegs. I only...
