I just kegged my first two kegs about a month ago. I primary fermented 3 weeks ( first two weeks at 65 to 68 degrees, last week 75 degrees) and then racked to the kegs. I put the kegs in the kegerator at 12 PSI for two weeks. I bled the O2 before placing kegs in the kegerator. The beer was...

Sorry for the double post - I cannot figure how to delete the original post in the Equipment / Sanitation section:confused: So I read about a dozen threads on compressor cycling but none that I found answered what a "good" or normal cycle should be, just to avoid short cycyling. So here is my...

So I read about a dozen threads on compressor cycling but none that I found answered what a "good" or normal cycle should be, just to avoid short cycyling. So here is my question / scenario: DAR44BL converted to kegerator, Ranco etc controller set to 42 with 3 degree variance. I just...

Ok, so I just kegged my first two batches into two corny kegs. Everything seeme dto be going great I sanitized everything before kegging. I had both kegs full and was going to put 12 lbs co2 on them and leave them for a week when I went and attached the beer out line , which I should not have I...

Hoping the home brew gods are willing to offer some advice. I have two corny kegs and two batches- a cream ale and a nut brown ale fermenting right now (racked to carboys this past Saturday). Two weeks from initial racking to carboys I will be heading out of town for a week. My questions are...

Was wondering if anyone has had any experience with these 32 ounce flip top growlers. I have four of them and would like to use for bottling. I was thinking 3.5" of head space. Any feedback appreciated. Thanks

So I have been looking for a kegerator and found someone selling a Bev air BM23, but his has this weird "super chiller" on it. Can anyone tell me what this is and will I still be able to add extra taps to this crazy looking device?

Hoping for some wisdom as I try and figure out what I want to do with my brewing. I have a nice fermentation chamber I built but realistically I am not getting below 60 degrees in it. So as I look to the future I know some things for certain: 1) I want to keg - I would like 3 taps ideally 2)...

My first brew (Scottish ale, nottingham yeast OG 1.036) is currently in the fermentation chamber I built. My first brew went mostly as planned ( did a full boil ) except after pitching at 70 degrees (Saturday 3PM) I transferred the carboy to my ferm chamber - the temp climbed up to 76-78 -...
