So i know that the high pressure gauge is unreliable. But the other day mine read 0. So I figured I must have a leak somewhere as I only carbed 3 kegs and dispensed around 1.5. So i disconect the tank and when its off I open the valve to make sure it's empty. When it's open I hear gas...

Has anyone ever attempted a keezer like the quick sketch I've attached? I've seen the more intricate builds of keezers to make them look like stand alone bar top with home made towers, and I've seen the one where a lip is built into the door to drill taps through. This seems like a combination...

I recently brewed up a double IPA . It was in primary for about 10 days. Moved to a secondary and dry hopped. I'm on the 11th day with that. Now my initial plans were to bottle today, but I just read up on the benefits of adding gelatin. I'm wondering if it would it be a good idea to throw...

Last weekend I moved my beer to secondary. Was planning on leaving in primary for three weeks but decided to start another batch. Now my question is, would it be okay to bottle after only one week in secondary and two in primary? Or should I wait the two weeks as per the 1-2-3 rule...
