[allanmorgan]

If I get 5 consecutive posts, do I win a prize?

 

[allanmorgan]

Post!!

 

[allanmorgan]

Another Blichmann glass on the way? Maybe no. Oh well, will enjoy the ones I have then.

 

[allanmorgan]

6 in a row. Going for 10.

 

[allanmorgan]

Three more to go.

 

[allanmorgan]

Only 2 more!!

 

[allanmorgan]

1 more. Only 1 more!

 

[allanmorgan]

Yes! 10 in a row. I will be receiving my next Blichmann glass in a couple of days. Hmmm...no. Fun anyway.

 

[Inkleg]

In it to win it!

Good run Allan.

I've only force carbonated the "quick" way. I set the pressure between 25-30 psig and leave it as close to freezing as possible for about 2 full days. But that's not very scientific. Apparently it could go faster if I were to shake the keg periodically.

 

[harrke]

However, that doesn't really do a proper carbonization. You are supposed to calculate how much pressure based on the temperature and how many volumes of CO2 your beer style calls for.

 

[harrke]

There is also the "low and slow" way where you put it at serving pressure and temperature and leave it until its balanced.

 

[harrke]

I don't have accurate gauges for either the fridge or the CO2 pressure as I'm using a 16oz cartridge and a "mini-regulator". But I get pretty tasty results.

 

[harrke]

So, I think you can wing it and gat reasonable beer. Or, dig a little in the calculations of various brewing softwares/websites and tweak it to your heart's content.

 

[harrke]

Either way, congrats on the legging equipment. Enjoy it.

 

[harrke]

Can't wait to see your keezer build!

Had fun with the Birthday boy tonight. Played CATAN with him and the youngest (daughter). Interesting board game. Hard to see the end game until it creeps up on you.

Mrs. Fields Birthday cookie. Good today because it's fresh. I'm not a fan after the first day.

 

[harrke]

Daughter is really happy to be back with her puppy. We had to leave the puppy here when we went to KS.

 

[harrke]

Puppy happy to be back with Daughter as well!

 

[allanmorgan]

Puppy's and daughter's, what is better than that!!

 

[allanmorgan]

Ok, so 30 psi, got it. i will try to not f-this up. It's ready to go, just need to get a CO2 tank filled to make it happen.

 

[harrke]

Good! Keep us informed of what you learn when force carbonating.

Hooked up my zombie dust clone Thursday night at 30psi and everytime I walk by I shake the crap out of it listening to the gas leave the tank. Planned on tapping it tonight but we've been doing a bottle share tonight so maybe tomorrow

I will offer something up for post 1000. Kind of like a secret santa

 

[TBC]

It won't be a 15 gal kettle
