The long slender bottles of the Sodastream fit my portable kegging setup nicely. Also, there is nobody in town that fills CO2 paintball canisters whereas the Sodastream is ubiquitous. With Sodastream one is also guaranteed "food grade" if one is concerned about that. One Sodastream bottle...

Anybody make an adapter to allow pushing a portable keg with a soda stream and standard regulator? I have a paintball tank and adapter but I like the availability of soda stream cylinders.

Thanks Peter. I'm not sure how much more I can tighten the CO2 canister but I will give it a try.

I tried using the adapter to hook up a paintball canister to regulator this weekend and didn't have good results. I buggered the o-ring on the canister by screwing the canister on too tight. That shouldn't be a problem but what has happened is a perfectly round little hole (it looks like it...

Way to jump into it! I did the same thing. I did one extract brew and then went straight to all grain. I make terrific beer IMHO. Enjoy.

It was 50 cu ft that they charged me for. Price was $44 which I thought reasonable. I just wonder how long it will last.

I actually looked at the tank rating which is 1800 psi. They did fill it to that pressure so it must be good. I can't believe there is only 2.2lbs of gas in there. I guess one other factor is that it N2 weighs much less than CO2 in terms of molecular weight and since it makes up 70% of the...

I had a 10lb nitrogen bottle filled today for the first time with beer gas. It was done at a shop that supplies beer gas to a number of venders. When I picked it up today, it seemed a bit light. I got it home today and weighed it an it is 2.2 lbs over tare weight. WTF? Is that right? PSI...

Thanks!

I'm 3 hours from Edmonton unfortunately. I can't find that model online at Costco. Did you pick it up in-store?

They look essentially identical except for the shelving which gets removed anyway. I think I'll go with the one I linked to. Let me know what you think of one you ordered.

I can't seem to find the Danby Model DAR440BK that people have been using for a kegerator build. I can get this one at the local Walmart...

Get the Brewpal app for the ipod/ipad/iphone. I have it and really like it. It has mash and boil timers that remind you of important events such as hop additions.

Can you elaborate??

Cold break.

I jumped straight into all grain brewing after doing ONE extract brew. Before I did it, I read the pertinent sections of John Palmer's book and watched some Youtube videos (Joe Palvino and BobbyM both do some very informative ones). Initially I did 5gal batches but quickly realized that 15gal...

Good idea. Next time the gas poppet it is! :)

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately some of the kegs are still half full. I still smell like Sprite from pushing on the poppet :(

I was just the beneficiary of 6 pinlock kegs from an acquaintance that owns a restaurant and who wanted to get rid of them because he no longer uses them. Anyway the kegs I have used up to this point have been ball lock so I have a couple of questions. Firstly, if I wanted to convert over to...

Two and a half months later I find this now a very nice beer. The harshness that was initially bothering me has settled. I'm quite amazed actually how different it tastes. I took a 3gal keg on a week long sailing trip last week and it was very well received, as was the other 3gal keg of...
