    Sankey decarb issues

    Update Letting some beer sit through the coupler into the line allowed gas to exit the gas side. I think anyway.

    Sankey decarb issues

    Trying to decarb a sankey keg. When I attach the coupler, no gas comes out at all. Trust me, its got a lot of carb, there is beer in there, its foamy when it dispenses. My only guess is it's so pressurized that the coupler has issues letting gas out. The backflow part is removed. I try the same...

    Sanitizing corney kegs with boiling water

    I've had some that only seems to sour once cold. Sits several weeks and I drink off of it, zero issues. Put in the fridge and it's done. Know something here?

    Sour after refrigerating

    Thank you!! I was wondering this too. I don't have check valves. But it's not happening to all of them. I have 5 drafts with CO2 manifold and only two of them it happened to. So I don't think this is it. Which is good. But still searching.

    Sour after refrigerating

    Warming up it definitely tastes less sour. Maybe not 100%. I wouldn't say I get chill haze. The opposite really. It clears the more it sets.

    Conical Temp Control Question

    Have you thought about getting a really long house and pumping the wort up 6 steps then you don't have to carry it? I made a chamber, insulated it and use a window unit to keep it regulated.

    Sour after refrigerating

    Why would a beer turn sour only after refrigerating? I had beer sitting for several weeks in kegs. I've been drinking it over this time at 65 degrees. Zero sour. On day 3 in the fridge, in a matter of hours, it turns sour. Two different batches did this. One was an IPA that lost all its...

    Warming beer back up after cold force carbonating

    I'm force carbonating for dayssss at 45 psi, canning, cooling it down to drink and there just isn't much head. Its got carb but a few bubbles when poured cold. Is carbing warm just not feasible? So im considering to chill it, force carb, can it, then let it warm up (it needs to warm up for...

    Fermentor ideas HDPE conical outlet

    alright, any ideas? I know others have seen/used these Ace poly conicals. I need to do better for the outlet. Its a 3" female for the conical. Ideally I have a goos size valve for the yeast to pass into a Mason jar or some container to catch yeast. Yeast catch is removable and then easy switch...

    Tap water chiller

    anyone try getting the tap water temp down before passing through a counterflow? Trying to mimic the breweries that have cooling water at 50 degrees AND conserve on water. Currently making a coil from SS brakeline that will fit in my side by side freezer. The coil will be in an ice block...

    My Brew Shed in the works, guidance needed.

    Awesome! Take time to make sure that the floor slopes the right way. I had someone help me and I should have checked their work. Its not perfect on one corner. Just make sure you get it right, it's worth it. I could stand for a bigger drain somewhere too that i could dump water buckets...

    My Brew Shed in the works, guidance needed.

    Oh, in addition to questionable propane indoors, the other off approach i did was used galvanized steel for the stand. I didnt have a welder at the time. So the slotted angles and bolts like an erector set was feasible for me. Of course, you have to let the stand burn off the vapors first. That...
