So, I just wanted to share my recent events with kegging. I feel extremely lucky, grateful and excited about it. To begin, I kept telling my wife I wanted to get a kegerator for Christmas (few weeks before then my old mini fridge went dead) and the price for the danby chill an tap was $399...

I kegged yoopers cream ale and house apa ( and dead guy clone) ( all have been hits thanks yooper!) I realized that the cream ale has been carbonating faster then the apa, there split by a T splitter so both have 13psi on em. I believe it's because of the gravity difference? I am just curious...

Found another leak. I did the soap test and found that co2 is being pushed out of the liquid post poppet?. I set the pressure to 30 and low and behold (after 15 minutes away) beer began slipping out the valve pretty steadily. any idea why? the quick disconnect is not on so figure if it is it...

The problem was wen it sat down connected. However it was because I took off that o ring in the valve and forgot it fell on the floor. I placed it back on and it holds co2 again. thanks Question though, if I set my pressure to 15, it would put that pressure on both kegs not divided right? I'm...

Ok, i cut some of that spring but now it seems that the Co2 is escaping at the top of the poppet. the quick disconnect locks down easier but the Co2 is no longer being pushed fully in. It leaks through it now. any advice?

I set up my second keg 2 weeks ago into my kegerator. I split the gas line with a t-splitter (plastic) and clamped on each end of the gas lines. I noticed that neither beer is carbonated and I forced carbed one thinking it would be good in a couple of days. The gas nub/ poppet/ valve on the...

I got this fridge the other week and have been debating taps through the door or go the tower route. Obv one is safer but just curious if anyone put a tower on it. There is no screws on the top so i feel I would have to pry the top off. Actually looking at it it looks like one solid piece...

Well the thing is , it fermented fine actually, went almost three or four days with bubbles almost every 15-30 seconds. It dropped from 1.05 to 1.003 so I would say, at least from what i know, the fermentation went well?!!? I actually dont mind the sourness either its just that i wasnt expecting...

I believe it was sorbate? if that is correct, and im not to worried when i have more stuff around ill attempt a batch and let it age

Couple weeks ago, i bought a gallon of apple cider, not apple juice, at the grocery store, found that it had some type of preservative and just decided to wing it, its only a gallon. However i ran out of yeast and i had bread yeast on hand so i pitched some of that. OG was around 1.05 with a cup...

Hey just showing what I did today, I don't know the model of the fridge but scored it for cheap,$40, I bent the bottom part of the freezer 90 degrees touching the back of the fridge, cut some of the slits and ridges so it fit snug, and just took out the shelves and let the thermostat hang...

Curious could this fridge's freezer compartment be taken out? saw it in CL, person only gave me the height which was around 35in high and it's a Johnson &johnson, I want to put two cornies in there if possible? It's cheap so looks reasonable? There looks like screws holding that freezer in,? Any...

Started brewing this past summer and at the time I got started my dad was killed in a auto accident, my brother n I were at the brew shop that day now that I think about it, but I committed to at least doing one batch to him and now almost 7 months later I had done close to 7 batches and have...

Today i visited a beer/soda distrubotr which is way closer then my LHBS, I got a 5lb tank and regulator there cheaper then the LHBS a few weeks ago, now i want to support them but ill take a deal when i can. Today i went back and scored the following for $44.52 Ball Lock Keg corny keg...

Dynachrome- well found out I'll have a fridge by the end of this week, it's a mini which Gould be able to hold two cornies and a 5lb tank, sufficient for what I do, and have plenty of bottles for now, and I have some curious neighbors but some of which think ima blow the apartment up lol
