Just tapped my last brew this past weekend. I call it Strider IPA designed similar to Voodoo Ranger. Lots of Mosac, Citra, Centennial in dry hop. Great beer

Usually between 2 - 5 kegs, but I also use the CO2 to purge kegs of stars and to fill kegs using a spunding valve. As well as to keep fermentor at 10psi during fermentation if needed, like after dry hopping.

It would be nice , in my closed garage, to monitor CO2 levels when I open the kegerator, purge kegs, release CO2 from the 1/2 bbl Spike uniting and compare to a background level. CO Carbon Monoxide I'm not too worried about as I'm all electric. Looks like a great product.

I like! Count me in

I'd love to try one.

Agree. But my John Wood keg looks like it uses these as do the Challenger VI. based on the used o rings that I pulled off them. We will see.

I agree. I just ordered some flat/square rings from Grainger Hopefully they will work better. O-Ring: 109, 5/16 in Nominal Inside Dia., 1/2 in Nominal Outside Dia., 75 Shore A, Black, Std, 25 PK Item 713T15 Mfr. Model ZUSAVSQ70109

I completely switched my 5 kegs to universal a few years ago. Since then all I get out of my taps is foam. I changed all the o rings and still I get foam. I don't over carbonate as it is usually around 11.7psi. I don't get foam from commercial kegs only kegs with universal poppets. So I am...

You have a lot of confidence in those handles. Not sure I'd trust them for long, especially on the ferementer .

Hopzoil - Citrone Hopzoil Hazy - Cascade Hopzoil - Centennial Hopzoil - El Dorado Hopzoil - 3C's

Brew it as is, get fresh yeast. This is fresher than when I started brewing in 1970 when we used hops that looked like a chewing tobacco plug.

I just bought some Gambrinus Honey Malt to use in place of the Munich/Vienna. Will add it at the 12% of grist. All the rest the same except for hops where I use Chinook, Amarillo, Cascade, Citra, Mosaic mix. Any one try this Honey malt this way?

Very similar to a pale ale I brew on a regular basis. Only difference is I use Munich at 10% and Pale Ale at 10%. I also limit any Crystal to less than 3%. My IBU's are around 58. Good balance and flavor. Next time I will up Munich to 15%. ABV stays in the 5.5 range. I also hop with Simco...

include me

Forgot to mention the twist was we added 2 oz of Citra in Dry Hops instead of the Centennial.. Yum
