2nd prize is awesome! I'm in.

me too

The pressure drops a lot when it gets cold. Don't worry about it. I keep mine at 12 psi but there is a little trial and error and tweeking depending on your guage. Don't turn it down to that pressure. Instead turn it down and then back up to pressure. Using keg lube on the o-rings, mine...

They probably need a little more time at room temperature. Take them out of the 'fridge and let them sit at 70 degrees for a week or so and then see how they are. Three weeks at 70 is generally the minimum recomended.

That should work fine.

Donde esta los banos, comes in handy, too.

With mine, I turn it down to 5 and then turn it up to 12. Congrats on the new kegerator!

Boil is going, so time for the first beer off of a new keg. drinking now: 12# 2 row 1/4 black 1/4 chocolate 1/2 dark crystal 3oz cluster hops adjunct 1/2 jar " praline ham glaze " left over from our Christmas ham This is really good! It is dark and creamy, hoppy and warming...

We must have started about the same time. I am 30 minutes into the mash. I have already filled up a keg and a few bottles and I have my sparge water heating on the stove. After the boil starts I am going to sample a new keg.

Don't worry, it happens all the time.

...... or, add a mini fermentor or two like I do. I brew 6 gallons and use a couple half gallon liquor bottles for the extra. After about a week I pour them into the bucket and it is almost full. I get a full keg and a few bottles every batch. I like the Cooper's drops for carbing the...

wow! started yesterday and I am #1346?

You are right about the recommended temp for that yeast. It likes the 50's. I think you caught it early enough to not make that big of a difference. It looks really dark when you are looking at 5 gallons. It will look much lighter in color in your glass.

I let mine go for about four weeks. It is probably done after three weeks, but after four it will be clearer and better. Be patient, and brew some more.

That is what I have. You just slide it down until it hits the cap and pull the lever. It adjusts automatically to any size bottle. I love it!
