    Conical to keg closed transfer. Fittings.

    Has anyone found a better way to do this then in the attached picture? The tubing around the liquid out post is not fully sealed due to the thread spiral (could easily suck in some o2), and the hose on the 1/2" tri clamp nipple barely fits. There must be a "right" way to do it, but I haven't...

    Dry hopping an already bottled off the shelf beer

    Is it possible to buy off the shelf beer, empty say 20L worth of pale ale or pilsner into a carboy and dry hop this beer several times to add hoppy goodness? Is it then possible to recarbonate by adding sugar before re-bottling? Is it possible and what potentially could go wrong? If...
