    Natural carbonating kegs with CBC-1 or F-2 yeast

    Hello everyone, Can anyone tell me how long it takes for F-2 or CBC-1 to finish fermenting? I've put about 1-2 grams in a 5 gallon keg together with 60 grams of sugar in order to scavenge oxygen en naturally carbonate. I spunded but I saw very little pressure change (about 2psi in 24h)...

    Can I run two taps/one keg

    Good day home brewers. I am currently not a home brewer but just received my first kegerator! It has two taps but the beer I drink only comes in the short fat sizes and not tall skinny so I can only fit one keg at a time. Can I run one keg to both taps? If so how? And is there any negative...

    Keg without CO2 tank

    Please forgive my ignorance, assuming this has been answered before... Don't have the requisite bottles on hand for a brew for a ferment that is a week in. Planning on getting into kegging soon. Don't exactly have the cash for a full system (tank, regulator, tap and keg) this month. Would it...

    Firestone Challenger

    This is an old freebee 2.5 gallon pin lock that needs some work + I would like to convert to ball lock. The problem: the gas post is 11/16" -18 and the liquid post is 3/4" - 18. Can't find any place that offers ball lock posts to do the job. Any ideas? Maybe I should just use it as a StarSan...

    Is my dry stout too "simple"?

    Hi all. I recently put together a keg setup and thus revived my beer brewing motivation for the first time in 3.5 years - great! I'm almost through the first keg and I'm looking to brew a quick turn around beer. I like roasty beers so the dry stout seemed like an obvious choice (roast to mask...

    Couple Of Questions About Regulators And Co2

    I’m new to kegging and only have YouTube vids and threads here on HBT to go off of. I have a couple of quick questions: Why is there a metal piece on the threading of my pressure adjustment knob on my regulator? (See pics below) Is it to keep the knob from moving once I set it? Also, I’ve heard...

    Transferring with some gravity left instead of purging kegs.

    Hello everyone, I'm trying to make my process as simple as possible, like probably most of you. As purging keg's seems like a big waste of CO2 and water purging is extra work. I've been wondering what if I ferment my beer and just transfer it to an unpurged keg with either a few points left...

    Dry hopping techniques

    Hi! I am going to brew my first NEIPA soon and I have just bought me a keg. General, I have had a lot of oxidation problems when bottling my IPAs so I am hoping the keg will help me in this situation. One question I have is if you guys have seen some problem with oxidation with different dry...

    My Mash Tun for a 3gal batch?

    So I switched to all grain brewing and I made a 15gal mash tun out of a wheeled square cooler because I want to have the potential to make 10gal batches. The other day I tasted a milk stout and loved it! So now I wanna make a 2.5gal keg of it. So that would be a ~4gal boil. Can I use my mash...

    Sanke Keg issue: Coupler is loose and leaky when tapped. Spins easily

    I went through C02 crazy fast on this keg. I noticed when I tapped it its loose and spins pretty easily. Then I noticed its leaky and the more I messed with it the more it leaked, UNLESS I put downward pressure on it which slowed or stopped the leak. Also I think the stem(s) is spinning when...

    Do I Need New Disconnects?

    I've been having some woes with a leak somewhere in my keg system. I replaced the distributor with a new Taprite system (which is wonderful) and with it new lines for both gas and liquid sides. However, what was left in my C02 tank still seemed to drain very quickly. I'm taking the...

    Tapping / Untapping Commercial Keg

    I picked up a small keg for an upcoming family function (cause I ain't willing to share my good stuff ;) ) and I'm wondering if I can tap the keg use it, untap to transport and then retap? Just wondering because I'm pretty sure we won't drink the entire keg but I also don't want it to go to...

    4.4 cu fridge to fit two kegs

    Hi I just bought a kegerator conversion kit that came with 2 corny kegs. I'm just wondering if people think 2 kegs plus the co2 will fit in a 4.4 cu model mini fridge. This is the particular one I'm looking at. Thanks so much for the help...

    Collecting Kegging Links & Info

    After 5 years of brewing and bottling, I'm about to start kegging. (I know, the guys in my club think I waited too long, too.) I went to the sticky post for kegging and found 10 of the first 14 links were dead. perhaps it is time to build a new sticky post for the forum. If you all will...

    Add gelatin to keg or to cold crashed fermenter?

    Hey guys! I have an Irish Red that has been cold crashing for over 48 hours. This is my first attempt at cold crashing and I'm curious if you guys add gelatin to your fermenters or to your keg after racking? Also, I couldn't help wondering if making the gelatin solution and adding it to the keg...
