OK, so educate me on the needs for CO2 vs Nitrogen and can I just use Beer Gas for all my beers? Praxair has all three and that’s the only gas supply facility in my area. I think N is just used for Stouts and requires it’s own regulator. I might brew some Stouts in the future, but really don’t want ...

For those of us that put West......how the hell do you ride a gator? Saddle or bare-back? Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk First step is being very careful. We then either surf on their back or use them as a boogey board. Either way, it's often the last ride you take. :lies: So generally speaki...

Yes...the rework on the coolers solved the foaming problems that I initially had. The pressure was the same as I have it set when the kegs are in the fridge, which is about 12 psi. I built the coolers with a total of 10 feet of beer line, which is also the same as what my set up is in the fridge. T...

Now, I’ll finally be able to transition from bott...

I will have to get back to using Tapatalk. I had some trouble in the past. I too plan on using a picnic tap until it becomes necessary to step up and out of a cooler like BlackDuck made. I don't have fridge space, but I am looking for a second fridge now. Does the CO2 in the fridge/cooler effect the...

Thank you all for the insight. I truly appreciate the knowledge you have shared. Now on to research kegging and all that goes into it. Here's a link that explains a lot. https://www.morebeer.com/web_files/morebeer.com/files/kegging.pdf Great info. thanks for sharing. The welding supply shop next do...

This is a very good thread for me to have read. I will be attempting this over the next week. It seems that we need to have a little lower pressure and colder lines to avoid too much foam.

I'm not sure I understand you're last question. Since it's carbonated you wouldn't need to set them aside at room temp to carb up, if that's where your going with that. I meant, can the keg-bottles beer go in a pantry, closet, or some other area besides a refrigerator, before consuming? It sounds l...

I keg everything now. If I need to bottle some to send to friends or a competition, I bottle from the keg. It's really pretty easy. I'm still new, so trying to learn here.....I assume you bottle from a carbonated keg? How long will the bottled beer last once capped? Does it need to remain chilled? ...

Great thread berryman! I like learning about other's timelines. It seems that they're all about the same process, but at different rates.

For the brewers that are kegging, do you put some of each batch into bottles to save for the future? Is it beneficial to bottle a 6 pack before kegging each brew so I can sample it a few years down the road?

What is your reasoning for bottling a few or not bottling a few?

I got the brew bug last Christmas with a BD 2.5 conical gift. BEST GIFT EVER. Read on and see why. After the first batch and lots of research, I found out that this will be a fun hobby. I decided to do several 2.5 gallon extracts into bottles before moving up to 5 gallon extracts, then on to BIAB, k...

My wine I made, from the recipe in the OG, was racked last night from the fermenter and set out in a 35 degree garage. I will rack it a couple more times before bottling. (I bottled one bottle and poured a glass from fermenter). I think it's going to be OK. It is going to come in under 6% though, bu...
