Baby on the way and no room for the brewing supplies.
8 pepsi style corny kegs that all hold pressure. Some might need new orings. $20/each.
1 commercial keg I converted to a "Keggle". Hole cut out of top and a hop screen at the bottom with a 1/2" ID valve to barbled nipple. $30 w/ propane...
It's a yeast energizer. Like Servomyces(sp?). It's yeast hulls (dead yeast) and some other ingredients to speed up fermentation.
They're 1.09/ea or 6 for 5.99
I think google. Although I don't recall.
I certainly spend more time on greenboard (it's the first board I signed up on)... but this one seems to be more active as of lately!
Plus I've met Sudster and homebrewer_99 off here, both fine gentlemen!
That's probably a bit over-zealous. I remember reading (can't recall where now) that no more than 10s of pure 02 is needed for 5 gallons of wort. Anything over "X PPM" (whatever X was) only slowed the yeast down from their aerobic stage...
It's a bit hazy to me since I haven't brewed in half...
You may need to brush that stuff out.
I left oxyclean solution in a small spray bottle I had and it encrusted up so bad I tossed it out. It also ruined the pump on the spray nozzle..
So I got 6 kegs from RCB. I rebuilt one, new orings on the lid and the posts (5 orings total per keg)... I clean it, toss beer in it and seal it.
The lid leaks a bit.. ok nothing new I've dealt with that on my other kegs. Flipped the lid around.. nope.. a day later the keg has no pressure...
I got mine on sale (7lb hopper) for 109 shipped during national homebrew week or something like that.
I just re-checked the gap on it after using it for a few batches. Turns out one side was adjusted way wider than the other. Could be a possible source of my efficiency problems.
Anyway, make...
