kegging

I brewed my "Summer beer" a couple weeks ago and will be kegging for the first time in about a week...I was wondering, once the beer has been force carbonated sufficiently, does the CO2 have to be kept on? or can it be turned off, and only used when pouring some beer out? If the CO2 is turned...

TLDR: $400 for a TON (keezer + kegging + homebrew kit + commercial couplers). @ Culver City. Been a forum member for a long time and benefited tremendously from the help of the community in getting my keezer idea off the ground and working wonderfully. Enjoyed many a beer off of this one. I...

So I have been force carbing using “set it and forget” around 10–11 psi at 39F for about a week now. I poured one tonight and it seems to be just about carbed where I want it so my question is.... is it safe to leave on 10 psi for the remainder of its serving (will probably drink it all in the...

Hey all, I have never kegged before but I've been brewing for almost a decade now. I just cleaned out an old fridge that I will soon be converting into a kegerator, but I need helping choosing a regulator. My long term goal is to have a three tap setup, but I only want to start with 1 tap...

I put together my first kegging kit through keg connection and honestly I could not find a better price+shipping on any of the items but wanted to get a second look and see if the price is right. Four 5 gall Pin Lock = $119.95 (29.99/keg) Kegerator faucet kit (Taprite Regulator, 4ft. gas hose...

Let me start off by saying I am really starting to hate kegging. I have been brewing for several years now and this past winter I finally finished my bar, purchased a fridge, converted to a kegerator, and acquired all the materials needed to keg. To say I was excited was putting it mildly...

Hi everyone, I have a simple problem that tends to be repeating for me. I use 7 gallon Fermonster carboys and typically brew between 6 and 6.5 gallons in a batch. As I want to keg all the beer I consistently have more volume that will fit into a single 5 gallon Corny keg. My question is what to...

For health reasons I've had to cut back on my homebrewing and beer drinking (sad). I had purchased and set up a kegerator but have barely been able to use it since doing so. The freezer I bought used and it crapped out recently, and that's the final straw - time to find the rest of the setup a...

I'm fairly new to home brewing and brewed a 5 gallon batch last weekend that I am planning on kegging - this will be my first time kegging. I bought a shiny red KEGCO CO2 tank off of Craigslist and need to get it filled before I can keg obviously. The issue is, I need a REFILL and not a SWAP - I...

As my thread search yielded no hits, I am starting this one. Could anyone provide me with the dimensions for a Taprite 5-gauge, secondary? As each additional gauge will add the same length, the width of one "add-on" secondary for a Taprite system will work as well. I have a 5-gauge on back...

dumb question, found my answer. :)

Hey Everyone, I'm fairly new to kegging, just kegged my second batch. Both batches are crazy foamy, after my first batch, I decided to switch out my 5' 3/16" beer line to a 20' line. The longer hose made very little improvement and am now stumped about why this is happening. I am using a pin...

This is my second time kegging and my first attempt resulted in my Co2 leaking out completely, so I'm a bit concerned. I brought my corny keg to MoreBeer and they tested it and replaced the o-ring. I kegged yesterday, and I'm told that the Co2 level gauge will go down about 200-300 under...

ok so i read the past articles, looked at websites and im still confused! what do i need to keg beer (besides the keg) I looked at several websites and they have all kinds of doo dads in theyre kits and i just dont want to get taken or buy stuff i dont need or buy something thats gonna break in...

Apologize if this has been answered already but I just brewed my first 10 gallon batch and ready to keg. I will be force carbonating the one keg and I would like to set the other aside until the other is empty. I do have room in the fridge so am I best off purging with CO2 and then...

We kegged our first homebrew (a cream ale from Northern Brewer) last Tuesday. When I first tried it after we kegged it, the beer had a slightly off after taste. It didn't taste terrible for our first beer but it definitely didn't taste quite right - kind of inorganic/plasticky. I tried it...

I've only brewed a half dozen batches of beer so far, but I've tried to learn and improve with each batch. My efforts have led to full batch boils, better yeast pitching rates and more thoughtful temperature control. (Got a category ribbon in my first contest!) I tend to prefer ales, but I'm...

I just kegged my first beer yesterday - an ale. What is the best temperature to store the keg as it carbonates? I currently have it in my basement. Do I need it refrigerated right now?

[This started as a reply to this thread but I decided to make a new thread. However the last post in that thread was where I found the procedure for using the isinglass I got.] The above information is quite helpful. But I have a few questions. First here's what I did already (note: all...

Hi there, I have been lurking around here for some time, so let me introduce myself. I am from Michigan, a full time father and just returned college student who is in the process of setting up to brew my first beer *yay*. I do have a question though, I don't drink often, but often enough...
