Not to talk you out of carbing the way you are, but here's my input. I also keg in sankes. My kegerator has to taps, so two couplers. Even if I have two beers on already, it is really easy to disconnect one, hook it up, bump up the pressure to 25-30 depending on how carbonated I want it, and...

I would say that even though it is pure, you still have a lot of yeast and what not being carried by the CO2 in the blowoff. I seem to have fairly aggressive fermentation that leads to some flow of yeast and krausen into the blowoff tube. How would you account for that, and how would you filter...

Carbing is the same as on a corny as far as I know...I calculate my carb level, set it, and in 3-5 days it's ready to go.

I keg all my beer in sanke's. I have bought 9 1/6bbl's and 2 15.5's (probably the ones you are talking about). I actually ferment in the 15.5's and serve in the 1/6ths. I have 2 that have the clip that you use a pair of pliars on, but the rest are the threaded sankes and they are great for me...

I agree with you on this. It seems like there is always a 2-4 day span after kegging where my beer seems to lose aroma and taste. Always seems to bounce back once the beer is fully carbed correctly, and last bit of sediment is gone.

I wouldn't think it is the lines. beer shouldn't flow back in the keg from the line. How many pints have you poured off, and is it fully carbed? You might be getting a bunch of yeast and sediment. Did you go right from fermenting temp to the keg, and refrigerate, because that is basically cold...

in my experience blue often tends to be a rootbeer keg

It would be but my beer is already carbed kegged and bein drank

alright thanks guys I am going to try this tonight, before I run out of beer to put in a growler haha. I will let you know how it works in a few months.

"It's best to consume the beer you dispense into growlers within 36-48 hours. If you crack that sucker open and start drinking out of it, then I would plan on finishing it within 24 hrs, otherwise it wil end up going flat." What if I am looking to just let it age for a few months without...

I have my new with and my Chocolate pale in the keg now and love them both. I always drink the beers way to quick to fully appreciate the aging flavor. So my question is: If I fill my growler with beer and seal it well, will it stay carbonated? I have heard of people bottling from their keg and...

Just like everyone on here says, look on craigslist and you will find something. I got a full size one in really good condition for $40. I have 2 kegs tapped right now and one more in there carbing. Up until now i have just used the cobra taps, but last night I got my door tap shipment and...

That looks good. At some point you can even place secondary regulators after the manifold so you can have beer on different PSI and also have a line that allows you to purge and force carb.

If your worried about contamination when the bucket is empty than get one. they are usually like 2 or 3 bucks. The bucket should be fine not getting contaminated. Unless you some how scratch the inside and give bacteria a chance to grab on somewhere you should be completely fine. Just do a good...

Your bottling bucket is just that, for bottling. You use it to put your priming sugar in and transfer your beer from your primary or secondary before you bottle. That way the priming solution mixes with your beer without adding too much oxygen. You can use it as a fermentor, just get a lid and...

Well guys, I figured I would just let you know that all my worrying was worthless. I tried my beer that had I kegged last Thursday and it turned out great. Perfect amount of cabonation. I used the method of setting it at serving temp and serving psi. rolled it alittle to get contact with co2 and...

I was reading this article about how the widget works in guinness bottles. http://recipes.howstuffworks.com/question446.htm If this is really how the widget works, couldnt home brewers just repeat the process...Fill a guinness bottle with beer. Add liquid nitrogen to the bottle. and cap it...

Ok great thanks. I swear I overreact on everything beer. I am usually a really calm person but beer gets me so worried. I guess that means its important to me haha. Thanks again for the help.

Ok so it being 42 Deg will lower it right above the red "Oh sh*t you better refill" line?

I just did my first kegging last night. Went really smoothly. I cleaned and sanitized it earlier in the day and checked to see if there were any leaks and it didnt appear to be any. I set the beer at 13 psi and I am planning on just letting it sit about a week. I went to check on it this morning...
