i would assume some food save tubing , im going to end up buying a 6.5g fermintor bucket from my local brew shop.

thats easy for me, i live with a 55 year old (father in law) that a pipe fitter and welder as trade so ill leave that to him. he works in all the larger companies like P&G doing all there sanitary, large tanks, mixing machines, pipes , you name it... but yes, stainless i did know you dont want...

well i dont have any way to siphon yet, so just assumed it would be easier to just cut a hole and put in a bulkhead and valve and not have to fight with it too much. i do understand i can do it cheaper but id rather just spend a bit more and do it right the first time to make my life a bit...

i used a grinder and cut around the top to get the top section off. as for double posting yes it probably is, but the more i keep reading all the articles the more i was getting thrown off as to what i truly needed. so a chiller IS needed to stop the brewing process of the hops basically?

as title says it all. im COMPLETELY new to all this but i want to get into doing home brews. currently i have a kegerator and a 5 gallon corny keg in my home, as well as a old ss keg from coores , probably mid 80's to be exact (was my fathers). i did manage to already cut the top off the...

which your correct on your statement of not enough pressure with the temp, thats why i said i was trying to lower the beer slowly down to 36deg with 10psi which should be right at 2.5 , i didnt think about calling them to find out what they suggested was the optimal volume of co2, and i will try...

also forgot to add, i did go ahead and pull the co2 out till there was none in the tank to make sure the tank wasnt overpressued as well. its currently sitting at 9.5-10psi.

well i think im going to end up doing the same thing. lastnight i went ahead and installed my 8ft hose i bought, trying to get it back down to 37-38deg. i did turn the psi back up to 10. and go from there. tomorrow im probably going back to the local shop and pick up 15ft of line just like you...

another question about pressure according to the link the pressures are as followed. 3/16″ ID vinyl tubing = 3 psi/ft 1/4″ ID vinyl tubing = 0.85 psi/ft 3/16″ ID Polyethylene tubing = 2.2 psi/ft 1/4″ ID Polyethylene tubing = 0.5 psi/ft 3/8″ OD Stainless tubing =...

L = (keg_pressure – 1 – (Height/2)) / Resistance if i follow this. im currently at (8-1-(2/2))/.6) = 6/.06 = 10. so according to that i would need 10ft of line? if thats the case and i wanted to get more pressure into the keg itself, but what throws me a curveball is temp and keg pressure...

ill dig threw that link, and yes, bevlex 203 3/16 id

well id love to get my setup down to 35 deg but i figured i would raise it to 40 since i was having such a bad issue with foam till i got that figured out, and then lower it back down to the colder temps and lower the psi a few at that point.

yes, i had the system fully stripped and cleaned and sanitized before reassemble when i put that keg in the machine. this is the 5th keg i had but i replaced both the co2 line and liquid lines this time and i think thats where im having my issues because the lengths are different then before...

thanks peter, all the places i was doing research online was telling me 8ft lenght, i assumed being i have such a short line its causing not enough pressure forcing it to flow to fast causing issues with regularity out of the tap. my question is why 10ft because i've not read anything about...

actually no i completely forgot to try that, so just pull the plug and get all the air out and then just redo the pressure back to 8psi?

I have a home built small beverage cooler i converted to a kegerator using a tower setup. my issue that i have is it seems no matter what i have tried im getting a tone of foam from any pour, it does seem to get better after first pour but not by much. what i have done so everyone can...
