Thank you! It’s probably not a full gallon at this point (I’ve tested it several times). Maybe I’ll go with 1.5 Tbsp with the lower volume ? Does it need to be stirred in?

Thank you! Is there a reason you try to get thru it in a day or two? My brew kit recommends boiling water with sugar and adding it for bottling. But since I’m adding to the entire volume, should I just add sugar ?

That makes a lot more sense. Thank you!

Thank you! That’s a good idea. Should I just follow the instructions in my Brew kit (boil the sugar with some water) and add siphon in?

I didn’t add priming sugar. I just siphoned it into the growler after 2 weeks fermentation under the understanding that this machine would force carbonate it. Maybe I misunderstood… Thank you. I completely misunderstood carbonation. I think now my machine is more meant for dispensing already...

So I didn’t do as much research as I should have. The company that I purchased my brewing kit from told me I could force carbonate with my keggerator. I didn’t realize this takes time… so I’ve got it set up, with the co2 flowing into it. How long should should the force carbonation take? When I...

I am thinking that since the beer will likely be consumed in less than a week, I may just not worry about the purging. Any thoughts?

Thank you! It is only 1 gallon of beer, so I’d be looking at drinking it over a couple of weeks max. With that period of time, can I just forget about purging ?

The machine has an inline CO2 cartridge that I can adjust the flow on. Is it possible that purges, or does it only administer as I dispense the brew?

Hello! I am being told by a local brewery that I need to find a way to purge the plastic growler of air or the brew will oxidize. Do you have any advisement on how I’d do this?

Thank you! Yes, it’s a 1 gallon kit. So, essentially what you’re saying is that I follow the same directions except when I get to the prime and bottle step, instead of bottling I just do it in the growler keg?

Hello, I’m Andrew. I have been wanting to start brewing, and realized. I had many questions that would best be answered by experienced home Brewers, and that is why I’m here.
