Gald to see someone else is doing this! I have been on low carb variations for a couple years. It started when I was cycling professionally (track sprinter on the Velodrome). My carb needs were not significantly high on sprinting and weight training days. They were high when I did the odd...

Both points accepted! Thanks, good to know. I may invest in a couple spare lines just because... I like to experiment :p

When I was racing at the Manchester Velodrome in 2009 (January) a couple guys over there got me onto dubstep haha. It sounded crazy when I got back here but it eventually caught on. That classical music (emotionally "intense") goes great with the drops and hyping it up etc. Not sure what you...

Will the flavor impact my beer (APA) that's brewing? I can understand how plastic is permeable though. Anything I can do to minimize the flavor transfer? I mean dedicated lines aren't expensive just wondering.

Herro, i drank some kegged "cider" ... hrmmm :p. I'm new here, and haven't read much beyond the first and last pages, but, Bobbi, GTFO of that relationship, I'm sure I will go through previous pages to learn more, but seriously... Anyways, I have to get up early and do a 3hr ride (road bike)...

Thanks guys that clears things up! Now to get brewing :)

I just bought a 50lb bag of light DME to experiment with along with some cascade hops. In the past I had accidentally boiled coopers kits which gave me off flavors (caramelizing) and darkening. I want to avoid that this time with my DME, however from the reading I have been doing people split...

Okay great that clears things up! I may follow something like this with a few tweaks: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f69/buckipa-v1-288640/ Thanks for the help.

Thanks 501, I think that's a good idea sticking with one type of hops per batch. I just ordered two corny kegs so I can run two batches side by side and compare. Do you have any idea about the dextrose vs DME? I'm reading DME is "0.6" as fermentable as dextrose, what does this mean when I do...

It's just the hopped extract and a pack of yeast, the hopping wasn't really at the level I wanted it when I made it plain last time. Edit: I understand DME is not as fermentable as dextrose, so how would I go about adjusting ABV? Can I still go by OG and FG as I would with dextrose, or would I...

Hey guys, lots of questions here. What can I do to get nice hop flavor and aroma with coopers kits? I have zero experience with hops and have been doing a ton of reading. I am going to brew two batches of coopers IPA (I think, unless there is another coopers kit that would work better), and I...

:d

^^ lol

Is this the same person that put their sanitizer water in their primary? lol someone check IP's please.

CO2 is more dense then O2 and will 'sit' in the keg and not allow much O2 back in. Random currents / air movement will allow some O2/air back in but the majority will be CO2. The final purging will get rid of most O2 and any amount left will be negligible.
