Does anyone know anything about this system? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1863012826/the-kegdata-system?ref=nav_search

Old Thread I know, but it comes up on Google and helped me figure some stuff out. I did the math and turned into a pretty simple formula for force carbonation. The first premise is that your beer is already carbonated to .857 volumes because it was fermented in a sealed container with an air...

Keep in mind that a CO2 canister (or any compressed gas cannister) has to have low temp consideration in its design. Simply opening the nozzle on a CO2 canister will plunge its temperature much faster than throwing some dry ice in there. They would have to consider that as a possibility. In...

Was considering how much water gets in the tank. I think the answer to that is very very small. After watching some dry ice evaporate and thinking about what happens, it would appear that water vapor does not condense on the surface of dry ice. It only condenses on things that it might be...

Not a chemist either, I did go through the full spectrum of inorganic, organic, and bio chem. But by no means does that make me an expert especially 25 years later. In short, I do believe we agree. In the worst case scenario, all of the water donates its O to CO3 which forms Iron Carbonate...

Your comments would seem to be indicating you are not a chemist. For example, the anions provided by the carbonate run out. There is no ongoing source of negative ions and therefore it is a self limited reaction. That is why I said "self limiting reaction". It runs out of stuff. For...

Well this is interesting stuff. I don't buy into the .2mm per year thing since that requires an ongoing supply of reagents. Unless the water only acts as a catalyst. But that isn't the case and if it were, then even a microscopic amount of water would do the trick and we know for certain that...

A #50 pound tank and a siphon setup? The whole idea here was to make my life easier, and that is not it. It's not like I'm using #5 a week or something. You may be correct about carbonic acid, but do you actually know this? Certainly you get carbonic acid, a weak acid, when you dissolve a...

You can agree, I suppose, but you would be wrong. Curious that you would make such a comment as if you had some authority. There is one home brew shop that refills on-site, that takes me 40 minutes to get to and they are terrible about keeping co2 in stock, charge more, and half the time can't...

I just did it. I removed the nozzle from the 5 gallon co2 tank. This was a challenge. I wrapped the tank with duct tape 3 times and put it in my bench vice. Then I used a 30 inch crescent wrench and a lot of muscle and finally got it to turn. The duct tape successfully kept it from...
