I just racked my beer and was planning to force carb it but the CO2 cartridges I ordered are the wrong fit for the regulator. Am I ok to put the serving keg in the fridge and rack it tomorrow (or in a few days) as soon as I can get the right cartridge? This is my first time dealing with kegs so...
This has come to my mind as I am planning a blueberry melomel in the near future, but I've encountered this problem before. I have been unfortunate in not managing this problem well because I didn't have the foresight to see it until it was there :/ I have a peach melomel that cloged the heck...
Opened my stout in order to rack to secondary with bourbon/cacao nibs, and it has some of this white stuff on top. I'm generally not worried, but just want to make sure. Has an alcohol smell to it, more than a beer smell.

As the conical has only a racking port, has anyone tried using a racking arm from another manufacturer?
Or with that in mind, any thoughts on whether it is really neccesary... Just hate seeing that extra gallon going to waste.
I only have experience with quick fermenting ales, mainly because I'm worried about the ambient temperature of my brewing facilities. I've recently moved, and have access to a basement with much cooler temperatures and was wondering how cool i would need to keep a batch for extended lagering of...
