Hey all. I'm thinking about bulk buying Apollo hops (pellet) was wondering if any of you would be interested should have about 8-9 lbs available at $14.00 a lbs. I will vacuum pack down to 4oz packs, shipping I figure flat rate would be the cheapest but will ship any way you wish 2012 lot.
Hey friends!
I found this this morning. I started a thread about it cause I thought it was sorta cool (some of you guys will think so too). I feel obligated to do something with it. I was thinking light fixtures. Any Ideas?

Interesting find. I got my co2 bottle swapped today. It actually was certified, I just didn't know how to read it. I'm assembling everything and will be testing for leaks tonight. 
I was hoping to have my keezer up and running for my birthday, and it looks like I will.

Stellar idea! It would be the mailbox that is passed down through generations.
Is that your mailbox?

I brought in a tank (in perfect condition) 10 years past certification when I started kegging. Guy swapped it for a crappy full one no questions asked. Except for having a full tank of CO2, I think I got ripped off.
If your kegger isn't operational by your birthday, I will be very dissapointed with you.
Do you think 11-64 is a date code on that pony?
Hmm, could be.
My keezer is functional now. All the connections passed the soapy water test, no leaks. Now I need to make something to put in one of the kegs so I can try it.
I was thinking of bottle bombers creme soda recipe, but I don't have any lactose. Hmm...

Unfortunately no, something I saw for sale a while back.
Here's a couple of pictures of my keezer. I wasn't able to use the neat 5 way manifold beaks sent me. One of the connector pieces on it is stripped. After looking at it for a moment though, it won't make much of a difference with the present setup. I used the 2 way piece instead. With 3 kegs I can actually run each one at either of the two psi's I can set with the dual regulator with only two connections per pressure. I would just have to adjust the regulator if I wanted all of them at the same psi.
In any case, I've got the high pressure side hooked to the 3 way manifold with the individual valves. That works better because it's connected to the high pressure regulator with a hose. Trying to hook up a manifold directly to the high pressure regulator was going to be a PITA because of how close it is to the tank.
I had started moving my hard liquor into the keezer too. I will have teenage nephews visiting in January, and the keezer lid locks. I doubt it would be a problem anyway, but best to remove the temptation.
What's in the one keg is 12 packets of great value early rise orange sugar free drink mix, and 5 gallons of water. I wanted to test things out with something I would actually drink, but that didn't have any sugar in it. That way, if it made a mess it at least wouldn't be a sticky mess. Good thing too. I didn't realize I needed to tighten the tops on the dispensing spigots. It leaked a bit before I realized what was going on.
Since there is no sugar in this, I'm hoping it will be noticeably carbed by tomorrow.

I never had you figured for a virgin kegger. I do have you figured for a smart dude. You will make it work and be happy. I carved koolaid once. It was good. I'm not sure why we never did it again.

Why isn't there wine in that keezer?
Haha, I might do something like that with my nephews!
The only finished wine I've got is already bottled. I have cider and black cherry wine that will probably end up in there, but they are still fermenting.
I decided to hold off on the creme soda because I don't have any lactose, and I want to give my vanilla extract a little more time to mature.
I just had an odd thought. Would it be possible to partially refill your co2 bottle by putting an active fermentation in a keg? I'm thinking no. The amount of pressure you'd need to liquefy the co2 probably makes it impossible. Even if it doesn't, the check valves would.
It's still an interesting thought. Maybe carbonate one batch with the co2 produced by another... I'm kinda tired tonight, and my mind is wandering.

Yeast starts doing funky things when you increase the pressure. Not a big deal if you are bottle or keg carbing with minimal yeast, but you probably wouldn't make a great tasting product with a primary under pressure.
It takes some serious pressure and/or extremely low temperatures to liquify CO2. Try setting your keezer to MAX.
Anyone seen any nice ****s lately?

Yes, and yes.
Me too. I had a great Saturday. Off to watch Looney tunes with the boys and sleep. Have a good night all.

LG don't go too cold and freeze everything up.
I've done that before. by setting the rator cold to help carb I've frozen cleaner/sanitizer in the line. without the alcohol in the mix the liquid will freeze easily. With alcohol in the liquid it can take colder temps without freezing and blocking the lines. something to keep in mind.
