I was inspired by someone on HBT. I'm essentially using gravity to transfer into my keg through the beer out port. I get it started by blowing into the other port. The only thing different is that I hook up my co2 line from the in port to the other post on the carboy cap. Since I displaced the star san that was in my keg with co2 I have a nice mostly oxygen free source of gas to replace the headspace in my carboy. I'm just venting my keg into the carboy as I fill my keg. Totally gravity fed. I would never pressurize my glass carboy. The flat bottom and cheap glass will not hold pressure. Especially with 5 gallons of beer all ready on it.

Reason:
I've had a carboy literally shatter in my kitchen full of beer from the pressure buildup of co2 during fermentation. My airlock got stuck so now I'm all blow off tube.

Craziest thing I ever had to tell my boss I'd be late because of since it happened during breakfast on a Tuesday.

Ouch..5gallons of wort on the kitchen floor?? Smell like a bar for a while I bet.

I've been thinking about rigging up my buckets for CO2 transfer. Sounds simple...

TGIF friendly fockers! Oldest is 4 today - really goes by fast! House will be overrun tomorrow with little kids. Gotta work today, but taking Monday off for a good long(ish) weekend and hopefully have a chance to bottle a batch of pale ale.
 
Morning coffee and energy drink double fisting. Cool BrewinBromanite, hope your kid has an awesome day.
 
Happy friday all! Getting my septic tank pumped, so I'll be having a shi**y day, but at least I can drink while that's happening.

Brewing up my Black IIPA tomorrow, Vader's Special Sauce. Grain bill of a porter with 10 oz of simcoe and centennial and a 1.09 OG, the Force is strong with this one.

Maybe I need to make a blonde ale sidekick called Little Ani
And a lower OG session version of Dead Guy and call it Padme Skywalker
 
Im not ;)
Hows brewing going? After you left all Hell broke loose I think. I was taking some time off and came back and everybody had moved on somewhere else.
 
Its 50 here this morning. Had tickets to the preseason Broncos game tonight. But I had to give them to somebody. Couldn't even find people to give them to. Everybody just was like oh I'm just going to hang out on the couch. Wtf. Do you see what legal weed does
